In this project we will develop an intelligent advertisement system for Bell. First, we try to better understand each customer’s preferences through the content they watch. In order to achieve this, we extract context attributes from the media content that a customer watches. The context attribute can be extracted by analyzing the video, audio, and the metadata. We then correlate these attributes with different product groupings such as retail, travel, insurance, etc. We establish these correlations by running focus groups, crowd sourcing and using publicly available data on product group spending as of function of the demography. This level of personalization will not only improve user satisfaction but also provides Bell Media with a more effective advertising platform, ultimately leading to increased engagement and revenue.
