Advertiser Solutions Provide Clarity of First-Party Data to Curate Audiences Specific to Campaign Needs

Mass², a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nexstar Digital LLC, and premium provider of multi-screen digital advertising announced the launch of its Deal IQ technology. Built on data science and machine learning tech, Deal IQ leverages proprietary audience and inventory data from Nexstar’s owned and brand safe supply of 171 local broadcast stations and 2,000 direct publisher integrations. This unique approach maximizes ROI and unlocks predictive relationships for top brands, agencies, and network demand partners.

Much of the industry’s 3rd party, off-the-shelf data lacks a clear methodology for classification and the recency to develop accurate audience models. Building off of the data foundation from Nexstar Media, in 100 different markets and providing 500MM+ impressions per month, Deal IQ’s first-party data is collected and updated in real time, allowing their data science team to analyze the attributes of its clients desired audience and create a model to predict similar users.

“One of the biggest issues plaguing brand marketers right now is a lack of transparency. With the launch of Deal IQ, we are eliminating those barriers brands have to their engaged audiences with quality data that allows us to start from strength, not scratch when modeling towards their desired actions,” said Marika Roque, VP, Digital Operations at ‎Mass².
