Create a Predictive Audiences Model create-predictive-audiences
Before you create a Predictive Audiences model, you need to decide which first-party data source you want to assign your Predictive Audiences traits and segments to. You can use an existing first-party data source, or create a new one. See Manage Data Sources for details on how to create a new first-party data source.
Once you know which data source you’re going to use, follow the steps below.
-
Go to Audience Data > Models.
-
In the Predictive Audiences section, click Add New.
-
Next, define the personas that you want to classify your audience by. You can do this by choosing either traits or segments to build personas from. Use the Traits and Segments tabs in the upper left corner of the screen to switch between your trait and segments catalog. Once you’ve identified the traits or segments that you want to use as personas, click the corresponding Add icon in the Action column.
note note NOTE You must choose a minimum of either two traits or two segments for your baseline personas. You cannot use a combination of both traits and segments. 1. Click **Next** after you've defined your personas.

Next, select the first-party audience that you want to classify by choosing a first-party trait or segment for this audience. Use the Traits and Segments tabs in the upper left corner of the screen to switch between your traits and segments catalog. Select the first-party trait or segment that you want to use as your audience, to add it to the model.

Click Next after you’ve chosen your audience.
