WebMD Ignite, a leading full-service growth partner for organizations in the healthcare industry, announced Ignite Programmatic, a suite of advertising capabilities designed to deliver zero-waste campaigns for healthcare marketers. Ignite Programmatic harnesses vast proprietary intent data, including healthcare content engagement insights from some of the most visited health-related websites, alongside a set of tools to reach audiences with precision throughout their healthcare journey, driving higher engagement, improved outcomes and maximum ROI.
Even though many are operating on tight budgets, healthcare organizations spend tens of billions of dollars annually on digital advertising. However, reaching the right healthcare audiences with the right attributes or care needs is a significant challenge that can lead to a lot of wasteful spending. Ignite Programmatic addresses these challenges by using pseudonymous first-party data insights through advanced audience modeling, demand-side platforms (DSP), and premium publisher and marketplace partnerships. These data sources enable Ignite Programmatic to reach more than 98% of U.S. health-focused consumers and 3.2 million healthcare professionals, providing the greatest visibility into health audience behaviors and insights. Together, this helps healthcare marketers efficiently target high-quality consumer and professional audiences across any channel or device.
The Ignite Programmatic launch also includes a first-of-its-kind brand awareness audience model, Ignite High Value Care Seeker, which predicts individuals likely to be high healthcare spenders within the next 18 months, using pseudonymous demographic and geographic data drawn from billions of deidentified patient encounters and claims data. This allows for broad, but high-value targeting that improves campaign outcomes by reducing waste. Additionally, WebMD Ignite continues to leverage unique propensity models that indicate a consumer’s likelihood to have an interest in certain health matters. Consumers targeted through Ignite Programmatic are more likely to have an interest in a given health matter compared to a geo-targeting demographic audience in the same market, reducing audience waste by 25%.
