About

Leading contextual intelligence and cookieless targeting platform within the programmatic advertising ecosystem, operating under Comscore's measurement brand

Proximic, operating under the Comscore brand as 'Proximic by Comscore,' is a contextual intelligence platform that provides advanced content categorization and audience targeting solutions for the digital advertising ecosystem. Originally founded as an independent contextual targeting company, Proximic was acquired by Comscore and has since been integrated into Comscore's broader measurement and analytics portfolio. The platform leverages AI and machine learning to analyze and classify web content at scale, enabling advertisers to reach relevant audiences without relying on third-party cookies. Proximic's core offerings include cookieless audience segments, contextual targeting segments, and brand safety solutions that operate across programmatic channels including display, video, and CTV. Its technology powers targeting through major demand-side platforms (DSPs) and supply-side platforms (SSPs), making it a critical infrastructure layer for privacy-first advertising. The platform's AI-powered contextual engine classifies content according to industry standards such as IAB content taxonomies, as well as proprietary segment frameworks. In the AdTech ecosystem, Proximic occupies a strong position as a trusted, scaled contextual data provider at a time when the industry is transitioning away from third-party cookie-based targeting. Backed by Comscore's extensive measurement credibility and data assets, Proximic serves agencies, brands, and publishers seeking durable, privacy-compliant targeting alternatives. Its integration with Comscore's audience measurement capabilities further differentiates it from pure-play contextual vendors.
