At A Glance

Experian’s Digital Graph and Marketing Attributes joint solution connects digital identifiers with rich consumer attributes. Our joint solution supports identity resolution, cross-channel media activation, analytics, and measurement, helping marketers unify fragmented signals and drive greater reach and insight.

What is Experian’s Digital Graph and Marketing Attributes?

Experian’s Digital Graph and Marketing Attributes joint solution is a unified identity and data framework that connects digital identifiers with rich consumer attributes.

Experian’s Digital Graph connects digital identifiers to people and households, while Experian’s Marketing Attributes add depth, including demographics, interests, shopping behavior, and media preferences. Together, they help marketers and platforms with the insights and connectivity they need to understand who their customers are and reach them across digital channels.

How signal fragmentation and omnichannel are reshaping audience connection

Signal fragmentation and third-party cookie uncertainty are reshaping how our industry reaches consumers. At the same time, omnichannel media consumption spreads engagement across platforms, creating a broader but more complex view of consumer behavior. Together, these shifts are pushing marketers and platforms to rethink how they connect insights, activation, and reach across channels, opening the door to more unified approaches.

How Experian’s joint solution helps marketers and platforms address signal fragmentation and omnichannel behavior

Our Digital Graph and Marketing Attributes joint solution helps marketers and platforms navigate signal fragmentation and omnichannel behavior by providing identifiers for seamless cross-channel engagement. By adding Marketing Attributes to our Digital Graph, like demographic and behavioral data, marketers and platforms can gain a better understanding of their consumers. Our joint solution uses Experian’s identity keys, the Living Unit ID (LUID) and Person ID (PID), to combine offline and digital data, giving you deeper insights into consumer behavior, greater audience reach, and improved cross-channel visibility.

“Digital Graph” identifiers (hashed email, MAIDs, CTV IDs, cookies, IP addresses, universal IDs) alongside “Experian Marketing Attributes” (financial, interests, shopping patterns, car ownership, media consumption).

What are the benefits of Experian’s Digital Graph and Marketing Attributes joint solution?

Our Digital Graph and Marketing Attributes joint solution brings identity and insight into a single framework, supporting the following benefits:

Consumer insights

Experian’s 5,000 Marketing Attributes provide you with detailed consumer information and insights, such as age, gender, purchase behaviors, and content consumption habits. Marketing Attributes help you create more relevant messaging and informed audience segmentation.

Consumer connectivity

With Experian’s Digital Graph, you can access digital identifiers like mobile ad IDs (MAIDs), connected TV (CTV) IDs, hashed emails (HEMs), and universal IDs to target the right consumers with the relevant messages across all digital media channels.

“Consumer insights” and “Consumer connectivity,” explaining how Marketing Attributes and Digital Graph identifiers work together to improve media strategy and cross-channel reach.

Four ways to use Digital Graph and Marketing Attributes

When our Digital Graph and Marketing Attributes come together, you get a 360-degree view of your consumers, powering four critical use cases:

1. Analytics and insights

Connect Marketing Attributes to Digital Graph identifiers to understand audience composition. A retailer may identify shared interests among recent customers and adjust brand activation or messaging strategies.

2. Inventory monetization

Supply-side platforms and publishers can use enriched audience insights to attract advertisers seeking specific consumer groups.

3. Activation

Expanded identifier coverage supports reach across channels with frequency management. Advertisers can engage defined audiences wherever digital content is consumed.

4. Measurement and attribution

Our Digital Graph supports exposure and conversion analysis across identifiers. Marketing Attributes help identify which audience segments responded to messaging.

How OpenX uses Experian’s Digital Graph and Marketing Attributes joint solution

OpenX is an independent omni-channel supply-side platform (SSP) focused on audience and identity-based targeting across CTV, mobile, app, and desktop environments.

OpenX licenses Experian’s Digital Graph to support one of the largest independent supply-side identity graphs. The addition of Experian Marketing Attributes enriched this graph with consumer-level insight tied to IPs, MAIDs, and client identifiers.

This approach has supported greater addressability and insight for buyers and improved monetization opportunities for publishers during ongoing signal fragmentation.

“We built on our long-term partnership with Experian to enrich our digital IDs with Experian’s Marketing Attributes, which help provide buyers better insights to audiences, thereby helping our publishers monetize their inventory. With partners like Experian, OpenX effectively facilitates the value exchange between demand and supply, ensuring our partners are able to drive results for their business in the era of signal fragmentation”

Additionally, integrating the Tapad Device Graph™ with digital feedback loops and audiences both accelerates optimization and enables precise audience discovery for TV marketers.
