BlueKai Announces Partnership With Datacratic to Bring to Market a Unique Look-a-Like Modeling Solution

CUPERTINO, Calif., July 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueKai, the world's only complete enterprise platform to help brands fully organize, process and utilize all their collective streams of data insights, today announced a partnership with Datacratic, an industry leader in machine learning and predictive optimization, to bring to market a distinct modeling solution.

Built upon BlueKai's open platform, which includes the first and largest data exchange, Brands can enhance their current view of customers by leveraging over 360MM uniques across 20k categories to fuel customized messages online, gain more intelligence about their current customers, and model their highest-performing users to scale their best marketing efforts while maintaining efficiency.

"In this era of Big Data saturation, it's no longer an advantage to just have lots of data.  BlueKai stands out from the pack not just in the size of their data set but especially in quality, coverage and actionability," explains Jeremy Barnes, Datacratic CTO. "This is a result of their methodical approach to curating, categorizing and protecting it.  This high quality input allows Datacratic's models to be very aggressive in extracting the last ounce of value for advertisers and publishers alike"

Datacratic's sophisticated multi-variant and real-time optimization algorithms allow for predictive insights that remove bias, creating a causal model that ranks users likelihood to take action.

"Datacratic's machine learning and predictive analytics were a huge consideration when researching and choosing them as a partner. They cross-validate their models through extensive testing and training to ensure the removal of bias," says Dina Hilal, Vice President of Product, "that coupled with BlueKai's high-quality performance data means that you are only targeting your top prospects and you can see into the algorithm black box. No more spray and pray marketing."

Beyond just premium Look-a-Like models that allow clients to reach more of their best performers, BlueKai and Datacratic are both predicated on having open, media-agnostic platforms that will allow for head-to-head media partner testing. This means that once a model is constructed a client can see how it performs, and then run BlueKai analytics reports on the modeled audience to understand what type of users are driving success and through which media channels.
