Stephan Pretorius, Global CTO at WPP, mentioned that Wavemaker’s new AI planning platform, Maximize could revolutionize the way their teams work. The platform will empower their planners to produce more effective and efficient media plans.

As per Stephan Bruneau, Global Head of Product, Wavemaker, creating media plans is a bit challenging given to large number of audience segments that are required to be included in a campaign. Some media plans can overlap significantly, with customers belonging to multiple audience segments likely to be over exposed to advertisements and creating unnecessary wastage of money for clients.

Maximize uses technology and techniques that are rarely used in the marketing industry and are an effective way to solve issues related to audience fragmentation.
