The solution

Brand campaigns often learn
what worked too late.

PIQ optimises towards Brand Lift while the campaign is still live, driving stronger lift from the same budget.

As PIQ's bidding algorithm is containerised inside the SSP, there is far less data loss than at the DSP, enabling more accurate bidding decisions in under 5ms.

Powered by PIQ's data, the algorithm learns which characteristics produce lift and buys more of them.

The outcome

KPIs you can optimise in real-time.

Ad recallAwarenessConsiderationPurchase intent

KPI 2

Cost Per Lifted User

The media cost to move one consumer to a lifted state on your chosen brand metric.

Cost efficiencyLifted users

Decisions made closer to the impression are smarter from the start.

Placement-level precision

Every bid request is matched to a Picnic Placement ID (PIQPID) and scored on the signals behind it, so lift is attributed to the placement that earned it, not the domain it sat on.

Increased lift from the same budget

Live lift results identify the placements shifting perception, and delivery moves towards them mid-campaign, so the same budget returns more lift.

Simpler activation

One PMP in the DSP you already use. Lift measurement and bidding decisions run behind the scenes.

Lower cost per lifted user

A Deal ID and floor price are added only to impressions worth buying, so budget stops funding placements that will not move your brand metric and each lifted user costs less.

Quality drives brand outcomes.
