The meaning of contextual intelligence

Contextual intelligence is the information people gain from analyzing content and how people interact with it.

When it comes to the advertising world, whether it’s a subway cart, or website’s content, serving an ad within the proper context is one of the ways marketers ensure they’re reaching the right audiences. And,contextual intelligence allows marketers to choose the types of content users want their ads to appear alongside while also help them to safeguard their advertising efforts by avoiding unsuitable or potentially damaging content.

The case of the contextual advertising

Consider a major airline that’s launching a summer campaign aimed at consumers planning vacations. And,the campaign wants to focus on the following content: holiday destinations, swimsuit styles and diets. People interested in this content potentially research their next vacation and more likely to have an interest in an ad from the airline.

To set up contextual targeting solutions within the campaign, the airline works with its advertising partner – either an SM (social media) agency or technology/data partner – to develop a list of terms that are likely to appear in articles about vacation-related topics, such as “best beaches,” “top resort destinations,” and etc. Also,do not forget to create a list of terms it would like to avoid, such as “tropical storm,” “hurricane,” and “climate change.”

The above mentioned two lists form the blueprint for the airline’s contextual advertising campaign. And,the first list helps to reach a relevant audience by placing ads within content that aligns with the airline’s targeting strategy, while the second list ensures that it will avoid any unsafe content that may harm its brand reputation.

But the word ‘explosion’ takes on a different meaning depending on context. Consider its use in an article about a tropical destination that’s experiencing an explosion of tourism. Here, the implication of the word is vastly different, and the article should a safe and relevant ad placement opportunity for the airline.
