determine a set of static features based on the received cookie and a set of dynamic features based on the received one or more raw events;

train a sentiment prediction model based on the set of static features and the set of dynamic features, the sentiment prediction model being configured to determine one or more engagement probabilities for the one or more sentiments;

determine a creative element associated with one of the one or more sentiments having an increased engagement probability based on the one or more engagement probabilities determined by the sentiment prediction model; and

cause a display of the creative element on an internet enabled device via the one or more vendor servers.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to manipulate at least one of the one or more exposure time periods to generate an overlapping exposure time period for at least one of the one or more internet enabled devices, the overlapping exposure time period being generated by extending a defined period of time for the at least one manipulated exposure time period to capture a delivery of multiple pieces of targeted content to the least one of the one or more internet enabled devices;

determine a training sample for the sentiment prediction model, the training sample including one or more dynamic features determined based on at least one raw event recorded during the overlapping exposure time period; and

train the sentiment prediction model based on the training sample.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of static features includes at least one of a piece of location data or at least one intender attribute for each of the one or more internet enabled devices.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to derive one or more dynamic features from impression data included in one or more exposure windows.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pieces of targeted content includes an email; and

the one or more processors are further configured to publish the one or more pieces of targeted content by delivering the email to an email server hosting an email inbox of at least one of the one or more internet enabled devices.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pieces of targeted content includes a display advertisement; and

the one or more processors are further configured to publish the one or more pieces of targeted content by providing the display advertisement to a web server hosting a web page including one or more placements for advertising content.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to select, from one or more exposure windows, a reduced sample of exposure windows including a piece of targeted content having a particular sentiment; and

train the sentiment prediction model based on a set of dynamic features derived from the reduced sample of exposure windows.

9 . A method of publishing targeted content to online consumers comprising:

receiving one or more raw events for one or more exposure time periods, the one or more raw events being received in response to a delivery of one or more pieces of targeted content each comprising at least one universal tag to one or more internet enabled devices through one or more vendor servers over the one or more exposure time periods, the one or more pieces of targeted content being associated with one or more sentiments, the at least one universal tag activating a script in response to the one or more pieces of targeted content being accessed by the one or more internet enabled devices;

receiving a cookie associated with each of the one or more internet enabled devices in response to the script being activated by the at least one universal tag;

determining a set of static features based on the received cookie and a set of dynamic features based on the received one or more raw events;

training a sentiment prediction model based on the set of static features and the set of dynamic features, the sentiment prediction model being configured to determine one or more engagement probabilities for the one or more sentiments;

determining a creative element associated with one of the one or more sentiments having an increased engagement probability based on the one or more engagement probabilities determined by the sentiment prediction model; and

causing a display of the creative element on an internet enabled device via the one or more vendor servers.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising manipulating at least one of the one or more exposure time periods to generate an overlapping exposure time period for at least one of the one or more internet enabled devices, the overlapping exposure time period being generated by extending a defined period of time for the at least one manipulated exposure time period to capture a delivery of multiple pieces of targeted content to the least one of the one or more internet enabled devices;

determining a training sample for the sentiment prediction model, the training sample including one or more dynamic features determined based on at least one raw event recorded during the overlapping exposure time period; and

training the sentiment prediction model based on the training sample.

11 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining an identity and one or more exposure windows associated with the one or more internet enabled devices, the one or more exposure windows including an identifier for a piece of targeted content presented to the one or more internet enabled devices, one or more sentiment tags for at least one creative element being included in the piece of targeted content, a digital timestamp recording a time the piece of targeted content was presented to the one or more internet enabled devices, a defined time period indicating a temporal length of the one or more exposure windows, and a piece of impression data being captured during the defined time period.
