This feature is available in all Microsoft Advertising markets.
Show compelling ads to your ideal audience in placements across the web—all powered by Microsoft AI. Microsoft Audience Ads can appear on sites like MSN, Microsoft Start, Microsoft Edge, Outlook.com, and publisher partners based on our unique knowledge about your potential customers. See below for more information on creating ads with images, feeds, and videos.
Microsoft Audience Ads are visually rich and integrate naturally into page content. These ads are designed to be highly relevant for potential customers, including those who have demonstrated purchase intent and those who are ready to buy.
While search engine marketing is focused on showing the best ad for a search query, audience marketing is all about showing the best ad for individuals. With audience marketing, you can reach your ideal audience in the right place at the right time. Microsoft Audience Ads are targeted to potential customers based on our unique understanding of their interests.
Microsoft AI learns about individual consumers, including: 1) Their content preferences, 2) what products and services they're searching for, 3) what they've read on the web, 4) what they've purchased, and 5) LinkedIn profile data, among other variables. Then, our AI matches individuals with Microsoft Audience Ads that are personalized for them, so advertisers can reach an audience that's ready to take action.
There are two different ways to create your ads: 1) You provide a feed and we'll automatically create your audience ads, or 2) you provide assets (images, text, and video) and these assets will serve with your audience ads.
Microsoft Audience Ads are easy to create, maintain, and optimize. To create an audience campaign, see How do I create an audience campaign?
