Published: January 22, 2026 by Experian Marketing Services

At A Glance

Claritas is a consumer segmentation provider known for behavior-based audience intelligence used in media planning and activation. Through the Experian data marketplace, Claritas audiences provide marketers access to more than 1,700 syndicated segments that support activation across CTV, programmatic, and linear channels.

Claritas, known for advanced consumer segmentation, is bringing its premium audiences into Experian Data Marketplace. PRIZM® Premier, P$YCLE® Premier, ConneXions® Premier and CultureCode® audiences are now available, giving marketers access to more than 1,700 syndicated segments in a frictionless, privacy-compliant way.

How Claritas audiences are built

Claritas audiences are built from more than 10,000 predictive behavioral indicators, robust survey linkages, and household-level demographic data. These inputs create deterministic, privacy-safe signals that go beyond broad demographic proxies and help reveal consumer intent.

That detail matters in CTV and programmatic environments. Marketers can activate pre-modeled segments tied to automotive ownership, financial behaviors, telecom preferences, and brand affinities.

Three ways Claritas audience support omnichannel activation

High-fidelity signals for more effective targeting

Claritas uses deterministic, behavior-based indicators to add context around lifestyle, purchase patterns, financial posture and technology behaviors. Each segment includes Living Unit ID (LUID) counts, CPM transparency, and match-rate details.

Broad reach across channels

Many segments include 30M–50M+ active LUIDs, supporting broad reach without sacrificing audience clarity. Activate these audiences in omnichannel campaigns across the destinations that matter most, including CTV, programmatic display/video, paid social, and email, enabled through integrations with major demand side platforms (DSPs) and activation platforms.

Privacy-first design

Claritas data is built from consented, privacy-safe inputs and does not rely on cookies or exposed personally identifiable information (PII). This approach supports cookieless media, including CTV.

Where Experian adds lift to audience activation

Experian’s data marketplace and our identity and governance tools help operationalize Claritas segments for activation: 

  • Enhanced addressability: Deterministic identity resolution maps Claritas signals to reachable, active audiences. It utilizes Experian identity graphs, which are rooted in verified data, spanning 126 million U.S. households, 250 million individuals, and over four billion active digital identifiers.
  • Activation: Integrations with major DSPs and media platforms support fast deployment.
  • Governance: Our controls support responsible data handling through the activation workflow, and ensure available audiences comply to all federal, state, and local consumer privacy regulations.

Together, Claritas segmentation depth and our identity resolution support audience planning, activation, and measurement at scale.

How marketers use Claritas audiences

Automotive: Connect with owners and intentenders

A luxury automotive brand can target “Cadillac owners” or “Likely Luxury Intenders” using Claritas behavioral automotive indicators. With more than 42 million available LUIDs for Cadillac owners, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) can support CTV campaigns, conquest strategies, and multicultural initiatives with more confidence.

Financial services: Reach high-value households

Using P$YCLE® Premier, a card issuer can target consumers who actively use travel reward cards or who fall into specific wealth tiers. These insights help tailor offers, personalize messaging, and reach consumers more likely to convert, supported by Claritas’ AI-driven optimization that can increase conversions by up to 30%.

The advantage: Claritas depth plus Experian scale

Claritas brings behavioral intelligence and segmentation depth and we bring identity, scale, and governance. Together, you can plan, activate, and measure campaigns with stronger audience clarity from day one.

Tapad, now a part of Experian, partners with WideOrbit to offer programmatic TV inventory

Tapad expands linear TV analytics solution, enabling optimal reach and frequency across TV and digital platforms NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ – Tapad, now a part of Experian, has partnered with WideOrbit, the leading provider of advertising management software for media companies, to develop the industry's first programmatic TV-buying platform powered by a device graph. Tapad is the leading provider of unified, cross-screen marketing technology solutions and was first to market with a device graph, the Tapad Device Graph™. WideOrbit's robust supply platform and industry-leading footprint offers access to premium TV inventory on top networks, reaching more than 99 million households across local affiliates. The partnership pairs Tapad's demand-side technology with WideOrbit's supply-side inventory. As a result, marketers can leverage cross-device audiences in their TV buys for the first time. Additionally, integrating the Tapad Device Graph™ with digital feedback loops and audiences both accelerates optimization and enables precise audience discovery for TV marketers. "The integration of WideOrbit's quality TV supply takes orchestrated cross-screen media buys to the next level," said Marshall Wong, Tapad's SVP of TV market development.
