Seedtag for Indeed × WPP Media

Jobs Need People.
Media needs the same intelligence as the creative.

A neuro-contextual activation plan built on Liz — Seedtag's proprietary AI — showing exactly where, why, and at what scale "Jobs Need People" can move beyond the walled garden.

The Opening

"People are applying, and many may not hear back. It's making them not feel seen. Is anyone out there?"

— Jennifer Warren, Global VP Brand Marketing & Creative, Indeed

Programmatic lost its soul somewhere between the keyword and the impression.

Job searching is one of the more emotionally loaded things a person does online — and most of the internet still treats it like a string match on "careers." The gap between what a page is about and why someone is actually reading it is where media dollars get wasted, and where a campaign built on being seen can quietly stop practicing what it preaches.

01

Keyword targeting is blind to intent

"Careers" and "jobs" pages get treated identically whether the reader is confident or terrified — creative can't adapt to a mindset the media never identified.

02

Walled gardens can't see page-level context

UGC, unlabeled AI content, and demo-based overlays dominate closed platforms — there's no way to guarantee what a job seeker's ad actually sits next to.

03

Reach without relevance is waste

Scale that ignores emotional context spends budget proving the opposite of "Jobs Need People" — that people are just impressions to fill.

Live from Liz

Five psychological mindsets, mapped before a penny is spent.

This is a real, activatable audience pulled directly from Liz — not a hypothetical framework. It's a psychological cross-section of the US workforce in transition, built on embeddings rather than keyword rules.

Preferred Supply & Self-Service Curation

Not another SSP. An exchange with an intelligence layer.

Seedtag sits directly against the open web's tier-1 publishers — not layered on top of someone else's marketplace. That direct relationship is what makes page-level signal possible in the first place.

  • 30,000+ direct premium publishers14 years of tier-1 supply built in-house — not resold, not aggregated.
  • 100M+ articles analyzed dailyEvery page scored before a single impression is bought, not sampled after the fact.
  • Page-level, not domain-levelEvery individual article is read and scored — a domain isn't treated as a single monolithic signal.
  • Top-10 CTV supplyBeachfront acquisition put Seedtag's inventory on par with the category's largest CTV providers.
  • Self-service via Liz AgentHands-on-keyboard teams can research, build a targeting set, and activate — no waiting on a managed-service queue.
  • Deal ID, straight into DV360Every package resolves to a PMP your trading desk activates exactly like any other deal.
How activation actually works
Prompt → Package → Deal ID

A planner enters the campaign brief into Liz — objective, mindsets, supply constraints. Liz returns a scored package of content environments, reach, and CPM ranges. Approve it, and it becomes a live deal ID.


Then it keeps working

Because Seedtag is integrated directly into the exchange layer, the deal is continuously monitored against the KPI — inventory that's performing gets more weight in real time, inventory that isn't gets cut, automatically.

NeuroX — The Neuro-Contextual Exchange

Intelligence and exchange, unified — not bolted together.

NeuroX brings premium Web and CTV supply together with Seedtag's understanding of interest, emotion, and intent into a single activation layer. Because the intelligence is built into the supply itself, every impression is understood before it's bought — no identity signals, no added workflow.

PAD & Deal Terms

Bring your own audience data. Take value back either way.

Publisher Audience Data (PAD) lets WPP Open / Choreograph segments layer directly onto Seedtag's contextual supply — first-party planning data plus page-level emotional signal, in one deal.

Managed Service

Fully run by Seedtag

Liz + LAB team handle planning, packaging, and optimization end-to-end. Reports into WPP Media's existing measurement stack — no separate tracking layer to reconcile.

Self-Serve

Hands-on-keyboard via Liz Agent

Your trading desk builds and activates directly. PAD can be layered as an inclusion list at the deal level, with Seedtag's contextual and emotional signal underneath.

Deal Economics

Margin share or post-auction discount

Available on managed or self-serve deals, returned to WPP or Indeed directly. Creative production and versioning included at no additional cost.

Current procurement path: Seedtag is finalizing WPP's approved exchange list (targeted, previously delayed from Q2). Until then, this audience is fully activatable today layered on top of existing PubMatic supply — with a post-auction discount stacked on top of the standard PAD terms, so the interim path costs less, not more.
What Makes Seedtag Different

Proprietary AI powered by embeddings — not keyword lists.

Liz goes beyond simple keyword matching by using embeddings to capture semantic, emotional, and contextual patterns. Built on a strong LLM and enhanced with brand-specific applications, the model achieves true multi-layered content understanding across 100+ languages — recognizing how entities relate to each other and enabling a holistic view of consumer mindset and intent.

01

Embeddings, not string-matching

Liz understands what a page means and how a reader feels about it — the same article about "changing careers" reads differently to someone excited versus someone scared, and Liz can tell the difference. Built on 100M+ parameters, embeddings beat keyword models by 90% for categorization accuracy in internal A/B tests.

02

Zero cookies, zero PII

Every signal is derived from content, not identity. That makes it durable against privacy regulation and immune to the walled garden's data advantage.

03

Pre-bid, not post-hoc

Brand safety, suitability, and emotional fit are scored before spend, not audited after. IAS and DV can run alongside for measurement, not gatekeeping.

04

A learning system, not a static list

Every campaign becomes planning intelligence for the next brief — emerging content categories, creative-to-context fit, and whitespace competitors haven't claimed yet.

Next Steps

One focused pilot — before any broader commitment.

1

Align

Share this plan with Jennifer Warren and William Double to confirm which mindset — Recent Grad, Skilled Trades, or another — matches the next flight on the calendar.

2

Pilot

Activate one segment as a PMP against DV360, layering any available PAD, measured against WPP's current open-web benchmark.

3

Integrate & Scale

Once results are in and Seedtag clears WPP's approved exchange list, expand into a standing package inside WPP Open — reach without waste, campaign after campaign.
