  • Audience Segmentation: dividing audiences into groups (e.g., age, gender, location, income, lifestyle). Ensures the right message reaches the right people;
  • Interest-Based Targeting: based on what users like, follow, or engage with (e.g., fitness videos β†’ ads for workout gear);
  • Behavioral Targeting: based on actions (e.g., browsing products, adding items to cart, retargeting unfinished purchases);
  • Custom Audiences: retarget users who already interacted with the brand (website visitors, app users, past customers);
  • Lookalike Audiences: find new users with traits similar to existing customers via machine learning.

One of the greatest strengths of digital advertising is its ability to target the right audience and avoid wasting budget. Unlike traditional ads (billboards, TV), digital ads use audience segmentation to divide people into smaller groups based on demographics, interests, and behaviors.

Effective targeting improves relevance, engagement, and conversions, saving time, money, and effort.
