Abstract:

A set of criteria for deploying an advertisement campaign to a set of audience members associated with a region are received. An audience propensity dataset associated with media platforms are received. The media platforms can include a first and second set of media platforms. Content output by the first set of media platforms can be monitorable by an organization, and content output by the second set of media platforms is not monitorable by the organization. A pricing dataset indicating pricing information associated with the first set of media platforms at the region is received. A viewing dataset indicating viewing information for the set of audience members using the first set of media platforms is received. A media plan generated based on a predicted viewership dataset, a tier dataset, and a cost dataset.
