At the same time, the digital landscape has become increasingly fragmented, making it harder than ever to reach audiences consistently across browsers, devices, and environments.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audience targeting has long been one of the most powerful tools for reaching high-value consumers.
