AMS Psychographics, Inc.
Advanced Microtargeting Solutions
Engineering and Development Lead
AMS Psychographics is creating a new class of science-based psychographic
data and analytics that enable ad networks to optimize audiences for
political advertising with unprecedented accuracy. The extraordinary
cost-effectiveness of our approach represents a game-changing tool for
political campaigns around the world, starting with the 2016 US elections.
In addition to their use in political targeting, our highly predictive
psychographic profiles also have international applications for
media-content recommendation engines, for targeting in certain types of
consumer ad campaigns, and, eventually, for predicting world events driven
by public opinion. By creating the first Scientific Standard in Political
