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

Build custom audiences aligned to specific campaign goals, client briefs, or vertical strategies

Expand addressable reach through Experian’s Digital Graph

Use Experian audience data in the Adobe Advertising DSP, where planning, buying, optimization, and measurement work in one place

Support more efficient media activation across CTV, display, audio, commerce, and other channels

“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.
