Composite Audience Guide

What are Composite Audiences

Composite audiences are a combination of two unique audiences overlayed with each other. Only the users that meet the criteria for both individual audiences will be added to the composite audience.

  Composite Audiences only use AND logic

Composite Audiences use AND logic to identify users that match two or more conditions or traits. When creating a Composite Audience you cannot use OR logic to combine multiple user conditions. If you wish to target visitors that match the criteria of two or more Audiences, you can create individual Audiences (not Composite), and in the Campaign, select all the audiences that you want to target to achieve the same result.

  Composite Audiences may result in low reach

Composite Audiences allow you to overlay multiple and very specific parameters and in return, this will generate a very targeted, high-quality audience. Because of this hyper-targeted approach, the resulting audience may be small. 

 

Create Composite Audiences

Before you start creating a Composite Website Audience in RollWorks you will need to first build the individual Audiences that you want to overlay. Once you have created your individual Audiences, follow the steps below to create a Composite Website Audience.

 

Step 1: Create the first Audience

  • Log in to RollWorks and navigate to Audiences > Website Audiences.
  • Select Create Website Audience.

  • Select an Audience Type from the drop-down. In this example, we will use the audience type called Attributes which is the most commonly used composite audience type overlayed with page views. We will create an audience that looks at people in a specific Account List, layering Buyer Persona attributes Seniority and Functional Area we will make the following selections:SCREENSHOT.png
  • Enter an Audience Name that describes the audience you just created and click Create Audience.

 

Step 2: Create the second Audience

In this second step, you will create the second individual audience you want to overlay with the first audience:

  • Select Create Website Audience.
  • Select an Audience Type from the drop-down. In this example, we will use the audience type called Page views since we only want to track visitors that have viewed at least 2 pages in the last 30 days.
