FAQs
Experian Curated Deals unify premium data and premium inventory into optimized private marketplaces that solve identity fragmentation and simplify activation. With ID-based and ID-less segmentation, brands and agencies can access first-party publisher audiences, Experian syndicated data, partner segments, and predictive contextual signals through Deal IDs.
CTV combines the reach and impact of television with the targeting precision of digital, but addressability in that environment has historically been a challenge. Traditional broadcast approaches can’t identify or segment specific audience segments at scale. Experian Curated Deals solve for this by connecting verified audience data with curated supply, so campaigns can reach the right households rather than just the right dayparts.
The team tracked search sessions and search revenue over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday window. Household reach grew week over week as the campaign progressed, and that compounding exposure correlated directly with the 128% lift in search revenue and 84% lift in search sessions. The exposure data from the campaign also created a foundation for a companion retargeting strategy.
The agency paired Experian’s audience data with a leading SSP to activate a data-driven approach to CTV that the Managing Director of Client Leadership described as a first-to-market collaboration. The ongoing communication bridge between data and supply was central to delivering reach and efficiency against high-value audiences.
