01

### Meta and TikTok took precision targeting away.

Granular interests are gone. Audience tools collapsed into "broad" and "advantage+". You're flying on platform black boxes that optimise for clicks, not customer value.

Lookalike ROAS

'18'22'26

02

### Lookalikes guess. Households don't.

"Look-a-like 1%" was a clever workaround in 2018\. In 2026 it's a tax. With third-party cookies gone and signal loss compounding, the ceiling on lookalike performance keeps dropping.

UK households reached10% in-market

Wasted impressions£9,000

Reached real buyers£1,000

03

### Broad targeting burns spend on the wrong households.

Only a fraction of UK homes are in-market for what you sell. Without household-level signal, you're paying to reach renters when you sell driveways, or students when you sell sofas. Real intent never enters the auction.

How Outra works

## Enrich. Discover. Activate. Learn.

A closed loop: every campaign outcome teaches the model who's most likely to buy next.

Profile Enricher

### We enrich   
every profile

Connect your stack. Outra appends real-world household signals, moving, affluence, life stage, to every profile, or syncs them to your warehouse. So segmentation, targeting and lifecycle flows fire on real-world context, not just clicks.
