Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Beverage Targeting?
Beverage Targeting places your Ads beside content about a specific drink, from Coffee and Tea to Juice, Smoothies, Soda and plant-based Milks. We read the recipe, article or review page in real time and match your Ads to the drink being made or bought, across premium brand safe food and lifestyle inventory. It reaches the Household Cook and Grocery Buyer at the moment that drink is on their mind.
What if my drink isn’t listed here?
No problem, we can build it. The Beverage Segments above are the ones ready to go, consider them “Off the Shelf” but they are not the limit. If the drink you want to target is not listed, we create a Custom Beverage Segment from the popular terms, brands and serves around it, usually within 48 hours. Just tell us the drink and we will build the Segment for your campaign.
What is Contextual Targeting?
Contextual Targeting matches Ads to the content of the page being read, rather than to a profile of the person reading it. We read the words on the URL in real time and place your Ads beside relevant food and drink content, across premium brand safe inventory.
Is Contextual Targeting Privacy Compliant?
Yes. Contextual Targeting uses no cookies and no personal data. The decision is made on what the page is about, not on who the reader is or where they have been, so it works the same way in every market regardless of local privacy rules and browser changes.
Why should Beverage Advertisers use Contextual Targeting?
Because intent is on the page. Someone reading a cold brew coffee guide or a smoothie recipe has already decided to make it and is working out what to buy. Reaching them in that moment, on premium food and lifestyle inventory, gets you closer to the purchase decision than a demographic segment can.
Can you build a Custom Contextual Targeting Segment?
Yes. If your brand needs a segment that does not exist yet, we build one from the popular terms around your topic, including Drinks, Brands, Serves, Ingredients and Occasions. Talk to our team about a Custom Contextual Targeting Segment built for your campaign.
How often are Contextual Targeting Segments updated?
Continuously. Segments are rebuilt as new content is published and as search behavior shifts, so seasonal drinks such as iced coffee in summer or hot chocolate in winter scale up as the content appears and settle back afterwards, without you having to rebrief the campaign.
How do I run a Beverage Targeting campaign?
Two ways. Programmatic, as a Deal ID or PMP into your own DSP, created and running the same or next day, or as a Managed Campaign that our Expert Managed team runs for you, live in 5 to 7 working days. Pick any single drink segment, group several together, or ask us to build a custom one if the segment you need does not exist yet.
