Cross-Device Targeting
Reaching the same person or household across phones, computers, and TVs by linking devices through identity data.
By Brandon Mina·CEO, BrandPilot AI·Updated November 2026
Short answer
Cross-device targeting is the practice of reaching the same person or household across phones, computers, tablets, and TVs. Devices are linked through deterministic identity data, such as logins, or probabilistic signals, such as shared IP addresses. It enables consistent messaging, frequency management, and more complete measurement across screens.
