Online publishers can now easily activate Illuma’s suite of contextual-AI solutions through Amazon Publisher Services’ (APS) Connections Marketplace, providing access to market-leading content classification and publisher monetisation tools in a few simple steps.
Illuma’s privacy-centric AI technology is used by publishers to analyse contextual performance in real time, and to curate deals and optimise campaigns across inventory. Additionally, its AI-powered content categoriser enables highly accurate placements on publisher pages and taxonomic offerings for context and brand suitability.
The following Illuma tools are now available via APS Connections Marketplace:
– illuma Reacts™. Allows publishers to expand campaign reach based on live content consumption behaviours. Use cases include audience extension and campaign optimisation towards advertiser KPIs across media channels.
– illuma Precision™. Categorises content into 700+ highly accurate taxonomies, both IAB and bespoke, using AI and Machine Learning for precision and scale. A granular reading of contexts also helps provide more accurate brand suitability strategies, supporting leading publishers by allowing for more monetisation.
– illuma Smart Deals™. Selects and curates deals based on real-time engagement across themed inventory, optimising towards campaign KPIs. Smart Deals learns and adjusts on the fly, connecting brands with audiences wherever they are most engaged.
Illuma is a British AI company, whose contextual enterprise solutions are also used by global brands, agencies, and online platforms.
