AI Cross-Channel Ad Reallocation

This AI continuously analyzes performance across TV/CTV, programmatic, social, search, and video to reallocate ad spend to the highest-ROI channels, audiences, and formats in near real time. By combining causal inference, attribution modeling, and dynamic pricing (e.g., floor price optimization), it automates budget shifts and creative adjustments to maximize incremental revenue and minimize wasted media. Advertisers gain higher return on ad spend and more effective campaigns with less manual planning and monitoring.

The Problem

Near-real-time causal budget shifts across ad channels to maximize incremental ROAS

Organizations face these key challenges:

1

Budget changes happen weekly (or slower) because data is siloed across platforms and agencies

2

Last-click and platform-reported conversions over-credit certain channels and under-credit upper funnel

3

Programmatic auctions fluctuate (CPM/floor price), causing sudden efficiency drops that are noticed late

4

Creative and audience performance decays (fatigue) but is hard to detect early and act on safely

Quick Win

Rules-and-ROAS Budget Shifter

Typical Timeline:Days

A lightweight system that ingests daily spend and conversion exports from major platforms and applies guardrailed rules (e.g., move 5–10% budget from bottom-quartile ROAS channels to top-quartile) with pacing constraints. It provides an operator-ready recommendation report and optional one-click export for platform changes. This validates operational feasibility and stakeholder trust before modeling incrementality.

Key Challenges

  • Inconsistent metric definitions across platforms (conversions/revenue windows, attribution settings)
  • Guardrails to prevent oscillation and overreacting to noise
  • Delayed conversions and sparse data for upper-funnel channels
  • Operational friction: getting recommendations applied consistently

Real-World Use Cases

AI-driven floor price optimisation for programmatic advertising at Ringier

Think of Ringier’s ad inventory like airplane seats: if the price is too low, you leave money on the table; if it’s too high, seats go empty. This AI system constantly studies how buyers behave in the ad auction and automatically adjusts the minimum price (floor price) so that more impressions sell at the best possible price without scaring away demand.
