Xaxis prides itself in staying ahead of the curve and leveraging the best technology in the market to drive results. A fashion retailer asked Xaxis Taiwan to raise brand awareness and drive as much website traffic as possible within an eight-day window for its wedding apparel campaign. With the impending deprecation of cookies, Xaxis proactively explored contextual targeting as an alternative to traditional audience targeting.

IAS's Context Control Targeting solution uses vertical-based contextual targeting segments and audience proxy targeting segments to drive website traffic and site visits. Xaxis used the solution to explore innovative targeting methods which yielded strong results in site visits and a click-through rate (CTR) that was three times higher than competitive benchmarks.

"As we progress into the cookieless future, our ability to connect, engage, and influence consumer actions that drive real business outcomes continues to be a challenge amidst the rapidly changing landscape. Partnering with IAS n this front enabled us to leverage the power of AI and advanced contextual capabilities that enhance relevance at scale," said Jona Oboza, General Manager, Xaxis Taiwan.

Lindsay Williams, Country Manager, SEA, at IAS said, "Context Control is helping the industry prepare for the upcoming deprecation of cookies with advanced contextual targeting capabilities. These campaign results highlight how contextual targeting can help drive greater performance and efficiency. Our solutions give programmatic buyers unprecedented precision for targeting content that is contextually relevant for a given brand or campaign to increase recognition, engagement, and favorability."

"There's an increasing demand for mature, AI-driven, contextual detection technology. We always look forward to better solutions that can make advertising more relevant and immersive for the target audiences, and that's why we continue to partner with IAS," said Nelson Tsai, Client Development and Product Strategy Lead, Xaxis Taiwan.

Contextual targeting represents a major opportunity for brands, so understanding how context influences consumers' perception of ads is critical to capturing long-term interest. For marketers, this is essential for standing out within increasingly crowded marketplaces and driving actions from ads.
