Circana Expands Audience Solutions With New Viewership, Eating Behaviors and Intent Signals Targeting

Chicago, Feb. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Circana LLC is expanding its audience targeting solutions and moving beyond traditional purchase-based targeting to include a new range of deterministic data options. This innovative approach encompasses viewership, eating behaviors, and intent signals, allowing brands to engage consumers more effectively. Brands can now reach the right consumers with the right message at the right time and achieve brand awareness, engagement and customer retention, ensuring a more holistic view of a marketing campaign’s impact. 

“As audience targeting becomes more sophisticated, marketers face increasing challenges in reaching the right consumers effectively,” said Jen Gold, senior vice president of Agency and Distribution Partnerships at Circana. “Evolving shopping behaviors, stricter privacy regulations, and a fragmented media landscape demand smarter strategies. To drive sustained growth, our new targeting solutions address three key hurdles: identifying high-intent shoppers, maintaining engagement without ad fatigue, and balancing personalization with privacy concerns. By leveraging advanced data insights and adaptive engagement strategies, we help brands connect with consumers in a meaningful, compliant, and impactful way.”

The new offerings include:

· Circana^® Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) Audiences: Target households based on streaming behaviors across platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and Disney+. With more than 90 dimensions, Circana’s SVOD Audiences enable brands to reach consumers based on genre preferences, franchises, series and specific titles. 

· Circana Foodservice Audiences: Engage households based on their away-from-home eating behaviors, covering over 100 dimensions across quick-serve and full-service restaurants, retail foodservice, and non-commercial foodservice.

· Circana In-Market Audiences: Identify and target in-market invisibles, high-value customers who are difficult to spot but ready to buy, through Circana’s partnership with Predactiv (FKA ShareThis). These audiences use AI-driven, short-term interest signals derived from observed online behavior to predict purchase intent within the next 30-60 days, enabling brands to act quickly and efficiently.
