Seedtag Wins Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards

Neuro-Contextual Advertising Company Honored by Global Recognition Program for Standout AI Innovation

Seedtag, the global Neuro-Contextual advertising company, has been named a winner in the 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards. For over a decade, the awards program, hosted by Business Intelligence Group, has honored the companies, products, and teams defining what responsible, results-driven AI looks like in practice. This year’s award cohort spanned 36 industries across 15+ countries.

Seedtag was recognized for its proprietary Neuro-Contextual AI, Liz, in the advertising and marketing category. By combining neuroscience with technology, Liz decodes user interest, emotion, and intent in real time. The result is privacy-first advertising across the open web and Connected TV (CTV) that places ads in the moments when people are most open to engage.

Intelligence Grounded in Science

Unlike traditional contextual targeting that relies on static keywords or categories, Seedtag’s AI is built on neuroscience and advanced embeddings to achieve a human-like understanding of content and context. Liz analyzes millions of real-time data points across text, metadata, images, and video to deliver full-funnel outcomes, interpreting how people think, feel, and make decisions.

“Technology reaches its highest potential when it stops feeling like a machine and starts reflecting the natural way we, as humans, perceive the world around us,” said Kartal Goksel, Chief Technology Officer at Seedtag. “Winning the 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award is a meaningful testament to our journey - building an AI architecture that works with the brain’s natural design, not against it. Our AI doesn't just scan pages; it understands people. By combining neuroscience with technology, we show that advertising can be both welcoming and privacy-first, all while driving measurable performance for our partners.”

Proven Impact and Innovation

Seedtag’s Neuro-Contextual approach is backed by rigorous scientific research. An industry-first study conducted with neuroscientist Professor Moran Cerf proved that Neuro-Contextual ads drive 3.5x higher neural engagement than non-contextual ads and a 26% lift in positive, approach-oriented emotions.

Key technical highlights from Seedtag’s award-winning entry include:

• Proprietary Neuro-Contextual Intelligence: Liz utilizes a suite of 30+ in-house AI models to decode real-time interest, emotion, and intent, moving beyond keywords to achieve real human understanding.

• Unrivaled Global Scale: Liz processes over 100 million URLs daily and handles 2B+ HTTP requests with sub-second latency across a global network of 30,000+ premium publishers.

• Privacy-First by Design: By operating entirely without personal data or identifiers, Seedtag sets the industry benchmark for ethical AI deployment and guaranteed addressability.

• The Liz Agent: This agentic AI platform serves as an end-to-end strategic partner, enabling brands and agencies to move from complex planning to campaign execution through natural conversation.
