Strategus Collaborates with Intent IQ and PubMatic to Offer Cookieless Audience Activation and CTV-to-iOS Retargeting

New Offering Reaches Premium iOS User Base and Improves CTV Campaign Performance

Strategus, the technology company creating innovative solutions for programmatic CTV advertising campaigns announced a new collaboration with Intent IQ and PubMatic to support retargeting of iOS users who have been exposed to CTV advertisements. The new cookieless audience activation solution allows advertisers to reach valuable iOS audiences, resulting in improved outcomes for CTV campaigns.

According to research from Statista, 54% of North American mobile phone customers are iOS users as of June 2023. Owners of Apple iPhones represent a coveted, younger high income audience that is typically difficult to target in digital advertising campaigns. The new solution from Strategus, powered by the integration of Intent IQ’s cookieless audience activation tool and Connect, PubMatic’s fully integrated and comprehensive audience platform, brings together each company’s leading expertise in cookieless and CTV advertising to effectively retarget iOS users:

• Intent IQ curates and enriches data signals from more than 80,000 sites on behalf of its publisher partners, creating a cookieless audience including 180 million North American users for privacy-safe audience targeting and retargeting on their iPhone, Safari and other cookieless browsers
• The addressable cookieless audience is integrated into PubMatic Connect and can be seamlessly activated by joint PubMatic-Intent IQ advertising partners via a Deal ID targeted to a custom audience of iOS users defined by first-party or 3^rd-party data
• Strategus, a leading CTV managed service provider, uses the combined PubMatic-Intent IQ integration to improve campaign performance for CTV brand clients by allowing them to identify viewers of CTV ads and retarget them directly on their iOS devices.
