Program Pairs Auto and Lifestyle Content with Behavioral Targeting to Reach In-Market Auto Buyers

BURLINGTON, Mass. – Burst Media, a leading provider of online advertising services, announced the launch of the Burst Auto Intenders Network, powered by adConductor™. Unlike other vertical ad networks, this Network consists of an advertising program that moves beyond content to include behavioral targeting of ads to consumers who have exhibited purchase-intent behaviors such as a price search or configuration by make and model on in-market automotive sites. Ads are shown to these in-market auto shoppers when they visit any of 4,600 highly-targetable web sites in Burst Network.

“Reaching consumers at the tipping point of a major purchase decision is critical for marketers,” said David Cooperstein, CMO of Burst Media. “Our Auto Intenders Network gives auto marketers the opportunity to reach the consumer who has displayed in active interest in buying a car, even when they are engaged in other, lifestyle-oriented content. In this challenging economic environment, being able to reach the active shopper is powerful opportunity marketers cannot pass up.”



The behavioral component of the Burst Auto Intenders Network allows advertisers to take advantage of the broad reach provided by Burst Network to potentially reach over 50% of all in-market auto consumers. Additionally, the Network includes auto specific content that appeals to auto buyers and enthusiasts, and can be packaged with lifestyle content to reach valuable demographic segments such as Moms, men, environmentally aware consumers, and luxury seekers.

In addition to the benefits to advertisers, the Burst Auto Intenders Network provides web publishers with high quality brand advertising at higher CPMs. The Burst Auto Intenders Network joins other Burst vertical networks as a tool for advertisers to reach out to consumers with specific interests and invite them to engage with their brands. Other Burst vertical audience networks include Entertainment, Moms, Early Adopters, Family Builders, Baby Boomers, Family Travelers, Green, Trendsetters, Gamers, Thought Leaders and Wellness. Burst also offers publisher-led networks including the CDKitchen Cooking Network, the RealGM Sports Network, the Daily Jolt College Network and the Kiwibox Teen Network.
