The platform provides a deep view into what customers do and think, and the visibility required to move from insight to activation.
Request a demoThe Targeting Machine is an enterprise-grade, privacy-first audience intelligence platform engineered for modern marketing leadership. Built natively on top of Palantir Foundry and powered by Palantir's secure, governed AI technology, The Targeting Machine integrates complex and fragmented first-party, third-party, and proprietary datasets. This ecosystem helps brands bypass traditional MarTech silos, enabling teams to instantly translate deep behavioral and attitudinal consumerinsights into high-value marketing campaigns.
The Targeting Machine acts as a unified platform layered directly on Palantir Foundry, which provides a secure infrastructure to integrate complex, disparate datasets at enterprise scale. Within this governed framework, The Targeting Machine leverages the Stagwell ID Graph—a foundational layer containing a scaled identity graph of 260 million US consumers and 123 million US households. By matching a brand's unique first-party data directly to this foundation , The Targeting Machine connects attitudinal signals (what people think) with behavioral actions (what people do) to generate highly predictive target segments.
The Targeting Machine integrates always-on consumer sentiment, motivational intelligence, location analytics, and predictive brand tracking from Stagwell's specialized data networks. Key integrated proprietary sources include:
•HarrisQuest: Powered by The Harris Poll to deliver over 60 years of trusted consumer intelligence and brand sentiment.
•Unlock: A leading U.S. market research panel uncovering consumer buying motivations and purchasing habits.
•BERA.ai: Predictive brand analytics to deeply inform overall strategy, optimal messaging, and media channel mix.
•Numetrix: An advanced location intelligence network providing unique point-of-interest (POI) and geographic tracking.
The Targeting Machine features a built-in Differential Privacy Vault developed using patented differential-privacy technology from Harvard's OpenDP project. This feature allows enterprise marketing teams to safely activate highly sensitive or regulated customer datasets across multi-channel applications without exposing individual consumer data or identities. This client-controlled approach dramatically reduces regulatory compliance and reputational risk while fully preserving macro-level business insights and scaling performance.
