DeepIntent’s audience solutions are fully integrated with the Connected TV Marketplace, so advertisers can create custom healthcare audiences and reach them immediately with CTV ads. Healthcare provider (HCP) audiences can be targeted on a 1:1 basis on CTV, and performance can be measured with physician-level data. DeepIntent’s Patient Modeled Audiences can also be targeted on connected TV, allowing advertisers to reach patient populations with specificity that increases Audience Quality scores by as much as 25% — all in a HIPAA-compliant, privacy-safe way.

“DeepIntent is at the forefront of the disruptive innovation happening at the intersection of healthcare and connected TV,” explained Orlando Perez, Vice President of Addressable Activation at Matterkind, the digital activation partners within Interpublic Group (IPG) agencies. “DeepIntent allows us to activate solutions that are respectful and responsible to people, giving people what they want, thereby delivering powerful and effective solutions and trust within a premium Connected TV environment.”

DeepIntent’s CTV Marketplace enables instant audience addressability across premium television publishers such as NBCUniversal, ViacomCBS, A&E Networks, and Discovery through innovative relationships with Xandr, SpotX, Magnite, and other unified TV supply platforms leading the convergence of television and digital. The Marketplace is closely managed to ensure brand-safe, fraud-free ad delivery so pharmaceutical and healthcare advertisers can execute CTV campaigns with confidence. In addition to curating pre-vetted, premium supply, DeepIntent maintains strict whitelists and also utilizes 3rd party monitoring and verification with leading providers; DoubleVerify will be available in Q4 of this year.
