What does Frequency Capping mean?

Limiting how many times the same ad is shown to the same individual over a given period.

Full definition

Capping sets an exposure ceiling per user: for example, 3 impressions per person per week. It's configured at campaign or DSP level, and its absence is the main cause of advertising waste in display and video.

Why is it important?

Without capping, 20% of your audience can concentrate 80% of your impressions: you pay to saturate the same individuals while your reach stagnates. It's also a factor of irritation and brand damage.

The Jour de Chance approach

"We cap systematically and deduplicate across platforms when technically possible. The goal: maximize useful reach at effective frequency, not billed impression volume."
