As of early 2026, AI significantly enhances ad targeting by analysing vast datasets to predict which customers are most likely to convert, moving beyond simple demographic targeting to behavioural and intent-based approaches.
- Predictive Audience Modelling: Current systems include AI algorithms that build detailed profiles of your ideal customer, identifying patterns and predicting future behaviour.
- Dynamic Creative Optimisation (DCO): Platforms now features the ability to automatically adjust ad copy, images, and calls-to-action based on individual user preferences, maximising engagement.
- Lookalike Audience Expansion: AI can identify new potential customers who share characteristics with your existing high-value clients, expanding your reach effectively.
- Automated Bidding Strategies: Machine learning algorithms optimise bids in real-time across platforms like Google Ads and Meta, ensuring you get the most value from your ad spend.
In 2026, Australian businesses must also navigate evolving privacy regulations, including updates to the Privacy Act. AI-powered targeting tools are increasingly incorporating privacy-preserving techniques like differential privacy and federated learning to ensure compliance while still delivering personalised ad experiences. This means more focus on first-party data and contextual advertising alongside AI-driven personalisation.
