What is Mindset
### Mindset = Receptivity. Always Changing. Signals can tell you something about a person, but they can’t tell you if the moment is right. Mindset closes that gap, revealing when someone is receptive and what will resonate. It’s a real-time read of readiness.
Constant Motion
The same person holds a different mindset during their 7am commute and their 7pm series binge. Mindset isn't who someone is. It's where they are, mentally, right now.
Greater Than the Sum
No single signal can capture whether someone is open. Context, attention, timing, and environment each tell you part of the story. Mindset is what they reveal when read together.
What Makes It Land
Reach puts your message in front of someone. Mindset determines whether it will be received. It is the difference between an impression that registers from one that doesn’t.
Mindset in Motion
Audiences Never Sit Still. Neither does The Mindset Graph™
Every moment presents a different opportunity. Real-time signal combinations determine, when to act, when to hold and how to engage.
Leaning in
Focused and engaged, actively exploring content. More likely to notice, process, and respond to relevant messaging.
Distracted
Attention is fragmented, behavior is passive. Content is skimmed, not absorbed – making meaningful engagement less likely.
Actively Searching
Looking for answers and comparing options. Receptivity is high, but expectations are specific – relevance matters.
Leaning Back
Relaxed and less task-focused. Engagement is lighter, and interruptions are less welcome – messages must feel seamless to land.
How the Mindset Graph™ works
### One Engine. Millions of Signals. An Infinite Number of Moments. Every impression is evaluated in real time, with signals working in harmony to determine what matters and how to act.
### Every Available Signal. Working Together. Real-time signals are continuously captured. The more complete the input, the more accurate the read.
One Signal Can’t Tell the Story. Together, They Do.
Signals only make sense when they’re evaluated as a whole, revealing what’s really happening in the moment.
Every Impression, Scored for Receptivity. Before the Bid.
Determines activation, format, and impression weight in real time, for every available impression.
Every Campaign Powers the Next One.
Outcome data feeds back into the Mindset Graph™, refining the model with every impression served. The longer it runs, the sharper it gets.
