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.

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.

Increase your share of wallet: Four strategies for brands to prosper

With the long-term effects to the economy unknown, many consumers are feeling the financial impact, while others are looking for opportunities, resulting in a transformational shift in spending. Some brands are experiencing decreased or paused marketing budgets, and you may be trepidatious about making the right decisions in your efforts to grow share of wallet. Recent events have been an impetus for change and we’re seeing brands make modifications to traditional marketing strategies. Some are developing innovative technologies and utilizing new sources of data and analytics. As we look at how these changes impact marketing results, we see the gap grow between those brands who are equipped to pivot and implement new strategies quickly, versus those who are not. So what steps can your organization implement now to make the smartest choices for both your customers and your business to secure more share of wallet? Here are four ideas to accelerate the success of your next financial marketing campaign: 1. Meet your customers wherever they are: Digital-first strategies have never been more relevant than they are right now. While consumers have fully embraced online engagement, marketers are even more focused on reaching high-value segments in the channels they utilize. By using an informed, data-driven strategy that includes preferred marketing communication channels and decision-making styles, engagement increases across those channels your target audience frequents the most. For example, are they heavy social media users? Do they prefer streaming TV? Or do they tend to rely on financial advice vs. performing their own research? To drive take rates, your audience must be exposed to a tailored message, in the right channel, and possibly multiple times. 2. Use messaging that resonates: As consumers refocus priorities, their expectations of brands with whom they do business are ever-increasing. Reflecting an understanding of the current needs and interests of your customers and prospects is an undertone that can only help strengthen their view of your brand. Consumer behavior has changed and is unlikely to revert to what was, so you want to be relevant, but you also do not want to be seen as ‘tone deaf’. As a result, consider revising your segmentation strategy to leverage predictive insights, such as household economic indicators, financial behaviors, lifestyle propensities and interests to help shape your message into one that truly makes an impact. 3. Prove the worth of your campaign: New consumer journeys are being formulated and showing ROI is imperative as your marketing budget is scrutinized. Having the right industry-relevant metrics and reports to analyze and share with leadership are key. Demonstrate that your campaigns are contributing to bottom-line success—and justify future campaigns—by using data-driven measurement insights collected across multiple reads and countless touchpoints. Marketing budgets are being scrutinized now more than ever, so showing ROI is critical. Having the right metrics and reports to analyze and share with leadership are key. 4. Follow government regulations—leverage Fair Lending-friendly audiences: Whether you’re cross-selling or prospecting, now is the time to identify the right audiences with rich data insights to not only execute impactful campaigns but adhere to government regulations that protect consumers and your organization. Trusting that the data you are activating follows Fair Lending Laws, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) and the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) is crucial. The Federal ECOA prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of several prohibited factors. Developing people-based segments that are not derived using these factors positions you to follow these regulations. Check out our previous blog post about Fair Lending-friendly audiences here. As you transition to new operating models, access to current and accurate consumer data can provide confidence in campaign potential, help you avoid business risk, enable you to respond to market changes and make better decisions. Experian can help you implement these strategies and put your brand unique position for growth. From start to finish, we provide the marketing solutions you need to plan, build and execute successful, Fair Lending-friendly campaigns to cross-sell to existing customers and acquire new customers. *Experian Fair Lending-friendly audiences do not constitute legal advice or otherwise assure compliance with the FHA, ECOA, or any other applicable laws. It’s recommended to seek legal advice with respect to the use of data in connection with lending decisions or application and compliance with applicable laws. Contact us today

Tapad, part of Experian, and Reveal Mobile partner to launch new audience and attribution capabilities for ad buyers

Cross-device matching and pixel-based foot traffic attribution reporting empower digital marketers with greater control of location-based campaigns.RALEIGH, N.C. (PRWEB) AUGUST 04, 2020 Tapad, part of Experian a global leader in digital identity resolution, and Reveal Mobile, a leader in location-based marketing, today announced a collaboration that combines Tapad’s digital cross-device matching technology and pixel-based attribution features with Reveal Mobile’s VISIT Local, the software that hundreds of digital agencies and brands use for location-based analytics. The partnership is designed to drive improved performance by optimizing ad targeting and messaging for location-based campaigns. Powered by Tapad’s privacy-safe cross device matching, marketers using VISIT Local to power location-based campaigns can enhance how they reach shoppers. When one member of a household shops for groceries, clothes, household goods or any other consumer item, a conversation between multiple members of the household typically takes place beforehand. With cross device matching, marketers can reach everyone who has influence over what to buy and where to buy it. VISIT Local users can expand location-based services with a single click to include devices that share the same household, including targeting across multiple devices owned by the same user, allowing advertisers to maximize messaging and increase their share of wallet among consumers. “VISIT Local has always given our customers access to high-intent location-based audiences. With the addition of cross device matching from Tapad, advertisers can boost audience sizes up to 300 percent while maintaining full confidence in quality and relevance,” says Brian Handly, CEO of Reveal Mobile. “VISIT Local users can now apply multiple criteria and attributes to a single location-based audience, giving them the advanced control and transparency they need.” As reliable attribution becomes increasingly complex for marketers and ad buyers who need to prove value, the addition of Tapad’s pixel-based foot traffic attribution to VISIT Local enables the measurement of actual campaign effectiveness by tying ad views to in-store foot traffic. This new feature, which will be available in VISIT Local this fall, lets Reveal Mobile customers understand who visited a retail location as a result of being served an ad, providing a more accurate view into return on ad spend during and after advertising campaigns. “Tapad’s goal is to empower marketers with digital advertising efficiencies at scale across devices,” says Mark Connon, COO of Tapad. “With cross device matching and pixel-based foot traffic attribution, marketers using VISIT Local can better address the consumer’s preferences and habits, and deliver them consistently actionable information on user behavior. These capabilities advance location-based advertising in ways marketers need and want.” In addition to these new features, VISIT Local’s location-based audience builder now enables marketers to create custom audiences made up of people who have visited different places on different dates. This gives VISIT Local users the ability to segment and create the most highly targeted audiences possible. For example, a marketer who wants to advertise for a chain of restaurants can easily target visitors of different competitors in different cities. Or a marketer who wants to advertise vacation destinations can target people who have been to various resorts at different times of year. Or a marketer who wants to advertise the release of new music can target people who have been to concert venues in different cities on different dates. “Many of our customers need to create highly custom audiences so they can run experiments, test messaging, and run increasingly competitive campaigns,” says Handly. “Everyone who uses VISIT Local can now apply multiple criteria and attributes to a single location-based audience, giving them the advanced control and transparency they need.”To learn more about Tapad’s digital identity resolution products, visit our identity solution page.

Chartable increases attribution rates with Tapad Graph

Overview Chartable leverages The Tapad Graph to improve cross-device attribution rates and remove non-addressable IPs for clients. Challenge Chartable needs to differentiate between consumer and potential business IP addresses to provide accurate household modeling and reduce excess data for their customers. Podcasting generally only has access to IP addresses as a form of digital ID which limits its ability to connect activity to individuals and extend it across all devices. The Tapad + Experian solution  Using Tapad, now a part of Experian, Chartable is able to cut through the noise of IP data and discard any addresses deemed a shared IP or business. Then, Tapad + Experian connects individual users to their other digital IDs and users in their household; creating a richer attribution model for Chartable customers.
