Audience Builder: Forecaster

The ZMP Forecaster in Audience Explorer lets you analyze and predict performance for your audiences across Zeta channels with flexible breakouts and export to Excel.

Availability: Audience Builder: Forecaster is currently available in the U.S. We’re working to expand coverage.

How it Works

1. Build your audience in Audience Explorer. As you add filters, the Forecaster tab appears on the right.

2. Choose a forecasting level at the top of the Forecaster:

  • Baseline – our standard projection for typical conditions

  • Conservative – a lower-bound estimate that bakes in headwinds

  • Optimistic – an upper-bound estimate assuming favorable conditions
