Technology and positioning
IntentKey is a purpose-built language model for programmatic advertising, generating audience models from current motivation and signals rather than past identity or purchase behavior.
It analyzes 110B+ web pages, processes 1M+ additional pages daily, scores content and video across 25M concepts, and refreshes audience models every five minutes.
Privacy-first profiles use no personal data; the system is presented as reaching net-new customers up to 24 hours ahead of 95% of competitors on average across measured categories.
Client-measured campaigns showed 66% lower cost per acquisition than comparable solutions; head-to-head tests showed 66% higher average ROI than legacy ad tech.
Market and go-to-market
The $220B+ programmatic market faces pressure from unified ad platforms, Apple privacy restrictions, agentic search and shifting buyer-seller roles; open-web signals remain a focus.
Priority categories include automotive, healthcare, recruitment and fintech, with activity also in travel, tourism and nonprofits.
IntentKey can read signals from Apple devices; leadership plans to pursue the opportunity, citing iPhone users as 50% of the U.S. population.
The sales team was turned over 100%; new President and CFO Derric Ciccone joined, and Sanja Partalo joined the board in Q2.
