Capability detail

Realize — Direct Supply Path

Publisher-direct native distribution, not routed through DSPs

9,000+ global publishers including Yahoo, Business Insider, TIME, CBS Interactive, Bloomberg, MSN, Straits Times, Business Times, and an extensive named India network (Economic Times, Hindustan Times, Times of India, NDTV, Financial Express, Mint, CNBC) plus Korea, Japan and Australia publisher networks.

So what

Positioned explicitly as a more efficient path than going through DSPs to reach the same publishers — worth comparing directly against buying the same inventory via a DSP to see if the direct path is genuinely cheaper end to end.

Predictive Audience

Lookalike targeting from past conversions

An add-on campaign layered on top of an existing campaign, targeting lookalike audiences built from historical conversion data.

So what

Vendor-stated to boost CVR by up to 23% as an add-on — evaluate this as a supplementary layer to an already-running campaign, not a standalone targeting strategy.

Realize+ bidding and engagement controls

Campaign configuration depth

Maximize Conversions (CPA) bidding strategy with a reach estimator. Engagement is user-definable via template or custom sliders — e.g. counted only if time-on-site exceeds a threshold AND session depth exceeds a page-count threshold, not either alone.

So what

The AND logic on engagement definition matters for whoever configures the campaign — a shallow single-page visit with a long dwell time will not count as engaged unless both conditions are met, which changes what the reported engagement rate actually represents.
