What challenge did the auto manufacturer face with its EV campaign?
The auto manufacturer faced two challenges in its EV campaign: reaching eco-friendly auto shoppers and EV enthusiasts at scale across display, video and CTV, and proving how its media partner performed against every other partner. This automotive advertising campaign ran through a large holding company agency and required a partner that could combine premium audience data with premium inventory across all three channels.
Just as important, the manufacturer wanted clear, comparable proof of performance: a view of how this partner’s results compared with every other partner in the campaign.
What are Experian Curated Deals?
Experian Curated Deals builds private marketplaces (PMPs) that combine premium publisher inventory, privacy-safe audience data, and dynamic pricing into a single, ready-to-activate deal ID. Instead of buying audience data and inventory separately and hoping they line up, a media buyer activates one packaged deal that already combines both.
For a marketer, that means:

Consumer’s online behavior is becoming more and more complex, with the average consumer owning three or more devices and 35 percent of consumers converting on a different device from the one on which they started their research.

The collaboration between Tapad and Freckle, which combines Freckle IoT’s persistent location data with Tapad’s proprietary cross-device technology, is an important step in empowering brands with the information they need to better understand how digital media, consumed across multiple devices, is impacting offline attribution. Using its opt-in, first-party data, Freckle IoT helps brands measure the effectiveness of their advertising by independently matching media spend to in-store visits. Tapad’s technology extends Freckle’s data-set by allowing brands to access additional deterministic and probabilistic data, at scale and across all devices, to analyze consumer behavior ahead of in-store purchase. “Combining our technology with Tapad’s identity-driven solutions was a natural fit for our business,” said Neil Sweeney, founder and CEO at Freckle IoT. “With our unbiased, agnostic measurement and Tapad’s precise and privacy-safe data set, we knew this partnership would be a strong complement to providing more effective results for the needs of our brand partners.” For more information on Freckle IoT’s measurement offerings, please visit www.freckleiot.com.
