The partnership between Experian and Fusion92 exemplifies how collaboration can deliver real marketing impact. This article explores the ways Fusion92 relies on Experian’s data to sharpen its audience targeting, streamline engagement across channels, and achieve measurable success.
A need for unified audiences
When Fusion92 set out to advance how their clients connect with precise audiences, they needed a data partner that could deliver comprehensive and actionable insights. Enter Experian. By using Experian’s marketing data and digital identity graph as a core source of data, Fusion92 built a solid foundation for their tools, DIOS (Data Input Output Solution), DAX (Data Advertising Exchange), and NoMi (pronounced “Know Me”). These powerful technologies enable Fusion92’s clients to control audiences more precisely, connect with the right people across optimal channels, avoid wasted impressions, and measure results with confidence.

The power of teaming up
Challenge
A regional amusement park needed to increase membership renewal sales during peak season while reducing spend on households unlikely to visit.
Solution
Fusion92 combined the park’s first-party buyer file with Experian consumer data and custom geographic boundaries, built an advanced targeting model, and used Experian’s channel-preference insights to prioritize the media mix. The unified audience was then delivered omnichannel through Fusion92’s in-house proprietary DAX activation technology, with Experian’s identity graph supporting attribution.
Result
The marketing conversions beat the park’s stretch goal by 70%, confirming that accurate data and coordinated activation drive revenue lift.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an expert. Experian will help you make the best use out of an incredible set of data assets.”
