How Experian Audiences support activation in the Adobe Advertising DSP

Marketers want to better understand their customers, engage them across channels, and accurately measure campaign impact. That is where Experian and Adobe Advertising can help.

Experian’s Digital Graph connects digital identifiers to households and individuals, helping advertisers extend audience reach across channels. For the Adobe Advertising DSP, this supports more addressable activation from first-party and third-party audience sources and gives marketers a stronger path to reach their intended audiences at scale.

Consumer connected across multiple marketing channels

Adobe Advertising advances this approach by unifying advertising and marketing technology. Their platform manages planning, buying, measurement, and optimization across connected TV (CTV), search, social, display, audio, and commerce channels.

Together, Experian and Adobe Advertising make it easier for advertisers to activate high-quality audiences where media decisions happen.

With Experian Audiences now available in the Adobe Advertising DSP, advertisers can:

Launch campaigns faster with 3,500+ ready-to-activate Experian Audiences

“Our collaboration with Experian brings premium, identity-based audiences directly into Adobe Advertising, giving advertisers everything they need to perform. Together we’re putting powerful, identity-based audiences alongside advertisers’ own data to power custom algorithms that actually move the needle.”

Audience strategies advertisers can activate in the Adobe Advertising DSP

Advertisers and agencies need a faster, more flexible way to move from campaign brief to audience activation. Whether you want toreach in-market shoppers, build a tailored audience, or connect messaging to consumer behavior,Experian Audiences gives advertisers and agencies a flexible way to progress from campaign brief to audience activation in the Adobe Advertising DSP.

1. Match financial offers to the right consumer moments

Financial brands, retailers, and auto advertisers can use Experian financial audiences to support campaigns for credit cards, banking, lending, refinancing, insurance, and other financial products.

Example: A retailer launching a store credit card could combine loyalty, discretionary spend, and relevant financial audience options to reach consumers more likely to engage with the offer.

2. Build more relevant retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) campaigns

Retailers and CPG brands can use purchase-based, predictive, seasonal, and shopper behavior audiences to reach consumers based on what they buy, how they shop, and when they are likely to purchase.

Example: A brand launching a new fitness beverage could combine health and fitness purchase behavior, gym visitation, and active lifestyle interests to reach consumers more likely to be receptive.

3. Reach high-intent auto shoppers

Auto marketers can use Experian Audiences to reach consumers based on known and predictive auto shopping behaviors, including in-market shoppers, current vehicle owners, electric vehicle (EV) intenders, aftermarket shoppers, and consumers interested in specific body styles, fuel types, or vehicle price ranges.

Example: An auto brand promoting a new SUV could reach likely SUV shoppers and refine that audience with household, lifestyle, or dealership visitation signals.

4. Build custom healthcare audiences for pharma campaigns

Healthcare and pharmaceutical marketers often require highly targeted audiences for specialized campaigns. Pharma brands can work with Experian to build custom audiences using approved partner data sources.

Example: A pharma brand launching a healthcare professional (HCP)-focused campaign could use approved partner data signals, such as provider specialty, treatment activity, or other campaign-specific criteria, to build a custom audience relevant to healthcare professionals. Experian can then help make that audience available for activation in the Adobe Advertising DSP, giving pharma marketers a simpler way to move from audience strategy to media execution.

5. Improve message and channel fit with Mosaic®, TrueTouchSM, and TV audiences

Experian’s specialty audiences, including Mosaic, TrueTouch, television, lifestyle, and mobile location audiences, can help advertisers go beyond basic targeting. Marketers can refine audiences based on lifestyle, channel preference, viewing behavior, ad receptivity, purchase style, and location-based signals to support more relevant campaigns across Adobe Advertising.

Example: A streaming service can use TV and lifestyle audiences to reach ad-supported streaming viewers, TV enthusiasts, or co-viewing households, then layer TrueTouch signals to align creative messaging with consumer preferences.

Why connected audience activation matters for advertisers and agencies

Advertising has moved toward connected solutions that bring data, identity, media execution, and measurement together to drive stronger results.

For agencies and marketers, this unified approach simplifies audience planning and helps turn strategy into scalable media plans.

Together, Experian and Adobe Advertising give teams access to trusted audiences, AI-powered tools, and connected workflows that improve performance across the media lifecycle.

Four ways to reduce waste and increase efficiency

Marketers are always looking for creative ways to get the most out of their digital marketing investments. While there may be different paths to optimization, reducing media spend and cutting costs without sacrificing ROI is ideal. We empower marketers to take back control of their budgets and reinvent their media strategies by leveraging the right data at the right time. And, given today’s challenging climate, there’s no better time. Every Business Has Different Deeds Whether you’re a direct-to-consumer brand building a loyal customer base or a financial service simply letting customers know you’re here for them during a challenging time– identity resolution is essential to connecting with your audience without breaking the bank. That’s why we have built solutions that provide flexibility and control when you need it most. Putting Data Into Action Experian’s “Tapad Graph” is a global, privacy-safe cross device graph is one powerful file. Updated weekly, and containing customized device IDs and digital attributes, The Tapad Graph enables smarter targeting strategies and a reduction of wasted impressions. What that means is more marketing efficiency and a stronger ROI for your business. Saving resources and money sound good to you? This guide breaks down four ways you can implement cost savings measures without sacrificing performance or prohibiting KPIs. Frequency Capping and Suppression Clustering device IDs by the individual and household means you have access to more ways to reach consumers, but it doesn’t always mean you should be using all of them across every campaign. Hone in on the channels and devices where consumers make most of their lower funnel decisions and purchases – and cap brand-awareness level placements or aspirational media that requires more exposure to generate engagement. This doesn’t mean limiting the devices you target, but being more aware of how often you’re targeting the same person across those devices. If you’ve successfully begun, or heck, even completed the consumer journey with an individual, congratulations. Now, you may want to consider what to do with the rest of the digital devices and users in that same household. Sure, there’s a time for conquesting an entire home of purchasers, but that’s not always the most effective way to maximize your media. That’s why The Tapad Graph is built to be flexible, providing a holistic view of all individuals and their associated devices and digital IDs – so you can suppress them once you’ve conquested the household decision maker or achieved the desired lower funnel activity. Save those impressions for someone else and save money for yourself. The great thing is whether you’re uploading this data into a DMP or a DSP, you can segment your target audience with a frequency cap threshold or suppress them entirely. Not only can you apply these tactics across traditional digital media, but we can include Connected TVs for OTT targeting as well, making your media strategy as holistic as your identity resolution tactics. Cross-Device Targeting and Attribution Consumer behavior and device trends are changing these days, so shouldn’t your digital marketing change too? Desktop usage is now up as much as 22%* as more people are working and learning from home. And remember that old iPad? With more people at home, we’re dusting off more devices and tablet activity is increasing more than 30%*. Sure, people are still constantly on mobile– but it might be time to consider implementing cross-device targeting and optimization for those dayparts when their focus is elsewhere. Identity resolution should be a key element of customer journey mapping and attribution in order to truly give credit to the right channels and build a baseline for the right cost-per modelling. Coupling The Tapad Graph with raw events data can granularly attribute engagement, actions and conversions at the digital ID, device, and even user-level – thereby teaching you more about your customer’s preferences. Leverage these insights to create more tailored messaging and promotions on your owned and operated channels, to funnel impressions to specific screens and platforms, and to target users based on where they are in the purchase funnel. Data That Gives You Control If you’re already implementing cross-device, have you started suppressing the devices where engagement with your brand isn’t happening? That’s right, you can use The Tapad Graph after-the-fact as well. Weekly graph updates with 60-day look-backs enable weekly campaign optimizations. That gives you the flexibility and control to avoid devices and platforms where users aren’t as active. You can only make decisions based on the data you have in front of you, so make sure you’re partnering with the right solutions for your business. Does identity resolution sound like something you need? Contact us and we can help you get started with all that The Tapad Graph has to offer. Contact us today
