Marketing Personalization
Turba Media needed to analyze growing volumes of GDPR-compliant audience data from social and content platforms faster so it could uncover sentiment shifts, identify emerging trends and improve media-buying decisions for clients.
5.56+ return on ad spend (ROAS)
<4.62% click-through rate (CTR)
Solution
Turba Media worked with IBM to embed generative AI into its audience-intelligence workflow using IBM watsonx.ai. The agency already collected large volumes of data through proprietary, GDPR-compliant APIs connected to major social media platforms and blog networks, but it needed a way to turn that data into actionable insights at a much higher speed. Using watsonx.ai, Turba Media combined traditional machine learning with generative AI to segment audiences, analyze sentiment, forecast trends and generate advanced reports based on custom campaign metrics. The platform feeds marketers with richer insight about behavior and culture signals so they can refine media buying, optimize ad placement and package results for clients more quickly.
Data flow
GDPR-compliant proprietary APIs ingest audience and content signals from social platforms and blog networks into Turba Media’s analytics environment, where IBM watsonx.ai analyzes behavior, sentiment and trends and then generates reports and recommendations for campaign teams.
