Social media has revolutionised the advertisement industry by introducing innovative ways to communicate the intended information to target consumers in highly customised formats. Traditional mediums like print and broadcasting paved the way for internet and mobile marketing. Advertisement success is measured by the Click-Through Rates (CTR).

Segment-based targeting helps advertisers channelize their resources effectively and consumers too end up gaining from it as it satisfies their specific needs.
