Intelligent Targeting

We Don’t Guess.

We don’t guess — our AI does the knowing. What If Media Group collects data straight from the source and feeds it into ARIA™, our proprietary AI engine, to design custom performance marketing campaigns that get the job done. Whether you’re an insurance company looking for customers who just bought a new car, a financial services firm looking for individuals needing to consolidate their debt, or a big box retailer wanting to engage with new homeowners, ARIA’s AI-driven targeting helps What If Media Group acquire your next new best customers — faster, smarter, and with less waste.

ARIA’s AI engine processes over 1 billion consumer ad interactions every month — learning, scoring, and optimizing in real time.

ARIA™, our proprietary AI engine, is the engine behind everything we do. Using machine learning-powered collaborative filtering, ARIA understands what offers are resonating with your target audience, predicting what they’ll likely respond to based on each individual’s past behavior and the responses of people like them — a technique known as AI-driven lookalike modeling.

 
Powered by first-party data and advanced AI analytics, ARIA™ runs highly sophisticated content matching, offer matching and channel matching models to determine user affinity for a specific offer. The result: ARIA’s AI delivers the right offer, to the right consumer, at the right time — enhancing consumer trust and driving higher conversions and sales.

Here’s an example of ARIA™ in action:

REAL WORLD EXAMPLE

Challenge:

In a crowded market, Clorox needed a partner whose AI-powered targeting could cut through the noise to launch a new premium home cleaning product aimed at suburban and rural mothers with children in the home.

Solution:

What If Media Group used ARIA’s AI to pinpoint mothers who not only fit the new brand’s ideal customer profile, but who — based on real-time survey responses, past behaviors and AI-driven lookalike modeling — were most likely to try Clorox’s new product instead of sticking with what they’ve always purchased in the past.

Result:

Thousands of qualified new prospective customers signed up for Clorox’s opt-in email list promoting the new product, with the emails driving initial purchases, ongoing loyalty, and substantial ROI — proof that ARIA’s AI-matched targeting converts.

Customer Activation

Drive Response
and ROI.

Exchanges based on value drive trust. ARIA™, our AI engine, was built to collect data and insight within our self-contained ecosystem, identifying customers who share their information because they trust our content and are genuinely interested in your offers.

From a simple click, to a loan or job application, an email sign-up, or consent to receive phone calls or texts, ARIA’s AI-driven intelligence helps us drive action — so you get better returns and higher ROI.

OUR BRAIN IS ALWAYS PROCESSING INFORMATION

Here’s how ARIA™ activates customer response

ARIA’s neural network never stops learning — every click, open, and response retrains the model in real time, sharpening how it activates your next customer.

The Power of What If

What if your audience raised their hand and responded to your offers in droves? What if you got more than data collection — you got verified insight, genuine interest and acquisition? Meet ARIA™ — our proprietary AI engine, self-contained neural network, and AI-powered performance marketing decisioning engine, built to turn data into decisions in real time.

With ARIA™ marketing services, we’re able to present the right consumers with the right offers at the right time so you never need to ask, ‘What if no one responds?’

Baked into ARIA™ are advanced AI systems and machine learning methodologies, including:

Content Clustering

AI Content Clustering:

Grouping content into the same ‘cluster’ based on similar items that have been previously engaged with by consumers, letting ARIA’s AI create links and matches that didn’t exist before.
Recommendation Engine

AI Recommendation Engine:

ARIA’s engine determines what content gets served or recommended to a user (works in tandem with AI content clustering).
Filtering

AI Collaborative Filtering:

Uses a person’s interests and the relevant interests of other historical users to drive AI-recommended content.
Modeling

AI Lookalike Modeling:

ARIA serves or recommends content to individuals who share characteristics with others who’ve proven to be responsive to similar offers.
Regression

AI Regression Modeling:

A statistical, machine-learning method ARIA uses to estimate the relationship between a feature or series of features, measuring how valuable or strong each feature is in predicting a desired outcome.
