For the Advertiser:

The need for a new source of intelligence in targeting

Advertisers want a perfect targeting for their campaigns. With the end of 3rd party cookies, Advertisers will have to rely on other sources of intelligence to target the perfect page for ad insertions.

No self-declaration. No bias.

TrustedOut is totally independent from any preset lists and is entirely powered by AI using countrywide published content. This guarantees our content profiling to be unbiased, universally able on any matter and always up-to-date. We do NOT use any self-declared data coming from anyone. We listen, profile. All the time.

Dialect detection means no dependence on keywords.

How can you, for example, target the Healthcare Industry? With a list of keywords? Who did it? Is it up-to-date?… Hard to manage. Instead TrustedOut listens and profiles everything published and keeps on learning the words and expressions, the “dialects” (or “bags of words”), for each and every classification. This way, the definition of “Healthcare, in our example, always captures the words and expressions used for this targeting. No worries. No lists, potentially biased and out-dated. You are covered. Always.

Profiling Intelligence must be at insertion time.

Content perception varies upon time. A page/an article can be perceived primarily in one classification and, over time, in another one. In this example, we see first “Employment” at publishing time and 3 weeks later, “Seniors”. Same with the dialect words and expressions, it all evolves over time which is key for a perfect targeting.

For the Publisher:

The need for a precise, external and unbiased product pulse.

Like any business, publishers need a trustworthy, unsolicited, unbiased look at what they publish. This goes for articles, feeds/sources and the whole media (distinct domain). Not only this is critical to pilot a business but also to compare with others.

The end of self-declarations for special ops.

TrustedOut provides always-up-to-date profiling of a section or the whole of a media. It also provides trends which can be compared. The end of self-evaluations, self-declarations for a more trusted relationship with your sponsors and commercial partners.

Editorial trends and KPI measurement.

TrustedOut profiles published and exposed content. All of it and at all time. This means measuring editorial trends and positioning. Amongst a media and across a market, a region or a country. Mapping Editorial trends pictures how one reacts to a matter in depth and in time. Finally, it also measures performances and the balance of demand/delivery.

For the Analyst:

Must trust the Content in to trust the decisions out.

The mandatory first step in any analytics is to trust the content/data you are going to analyze. If you do not, results will be unreliable and worst, decisions you are going to make might be dangerous and disastrous to your business and brand. Bottom line: if no trust in, then no Trust Out.

Who reacts to what, and how.

Analyze how an event, product launch or local news, are classified and where. A great source of insights on how to prepare for a new launch or positioning.

Watching the future.

Industries keep on evolving. Be on alert about what technology is popping up, how it is received amongst content oriented, political or else, and where it is happening.

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it…

… if you think about that, you’ll do things differently” – Warren Buffett

That was a post we wrote in June 2019.

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it…

Brands behaviors on Coronavirus impact their trustworthiness.

We highly recommend reading the most awaited 2020 Edelman Trust Barometer. This post is about our takeaways, focused on the vital trust in Brands

 

 

Solve, don’t sell.

Out of Edelman’s 5 recommendations, the 3rd one, Solve, don’t sell, resonates the most with us.

Brands vs Gov.: Critical. Faster and more effective.

More than ever, Trust in a brand is very meaningful, if not emotional. People believe Brand are playing a critical role in addressing the crisis and, believe Brands respond faster and more effectively than the government.

Brands to help gov. (not the other way around)

Brands to be a reliable news source.

Remember this recent post? Coronavirus amplifies the gap in trust showing, and it’s no news, distrust in News Media.

Coronavirus amplifies the gap in trust.

Well, Trust in Brands also means serving as reliable source:

Think People, not Business.

Under attack, and especially one of this magnitude, people matter. All of them, inside and outside your brand reach.

And, of course, what you produce must help with its purpose and be affordable.

Now is not the time for wild creativity in product launches and commercial campaigns.

Don’t hide, Be visible. Reassure. Strengthen your brand trust.

Do not stop communicating. To the contrary, reassure on your brand values and apply the advices above.

Coronavirus update: GOP 25% (-8%), Dems 61% (-5%)

We highly recommend reading this article from Axios

“Americans are largely approving of how U.S. institutions and leaders are responding to the coronavirus situation.

Hospitals are held in the highest regard during this health crisis, consistent with the high trust and ethical ratings medical and health workers receive in normal times.”

Appraisals evolve over time. So do our classifications.

As we wrote here, our classifications operated by Artificial Intelligence are the only ones to capture and update over time:

Why it matters to Brands?

As we wrote, Advertisers have a major role on our society.

Internet has a major role on our society.
Advertising has a major role on the Internet

In other words, Advertisers money fuels web sites that have a major role on our Society. We already know the impact on elections, but is it limited to it?

Consumers believe brands intentionally place ads

Brands must be careful with where their ads appear as consumers associate the brand with the content around.

Not only for Brand Safety violations but for Political orientations.

“Whitelisting, which only allows ads to be placed in approved environments, may in fact be the best brand safety insurance.” – AdWeek
