Experian: How Marketers Gain Precision, Scale, and Agility with a Data Partnership
Marketing performance depends on knowing your audience—and reaching them at the right time, through the right channel—marketers need more than just data. They need advantage. For brands and businesses that partner with Experian, that advantage comes in the form of unmatched consumer insight, omnichannel activation capabilities, and privacy-forward innovation.
This isn’t just about why you should partner with Experian—it’s about what you gain by doing so.

What sets Experian apart isn’t just the breadth of data—it’s the depth and accuracy. Independent validation from firms like Truthset has consistently ranked Experian among the top for data precision. This level of reliability means you can segment and target with confidence, reduce wasted media spend, and deliver messaging that truly resonates.

Identity Resolution That Powers Cross-Channel Marketing
Today’s customer journey is fragmented across devices, platforms, and offline interactions. Experian’s robust identity graph—including their proprietary Living Unit ID (LUID)—stitches together consumer touchpoints into a single, persistent profile.
Whether your audience starts on a mobile device, visits a website, watches a connected TV ad, or walks into a store, Experian helps marketers maintain addressability across every step. With data covering 126 million households and over 4 billion digital identifiers, your campaigns stay connected—even as cookies disappear.
This ability to resolve identities across ecosystems is foundational to modern performance marketing, enabling everything from frequency capping to cross-channel attribution and retargeting.
Real-Time Purchase Intent and Transactional Signals
Experian enhances traditional demographic and behavioral data with real-time intent indicators. Through partnerships with providers like Attain and Captify, Experian accesses timely purchase data across $600 billion in annual U.S. spend, and real-time search behavior tied to millions of daily consumer queries.
These signals let marketers move from planning to activation in near real time—targeting consumers who are actively shopping, comparing, or switching.
With our Attain partnership, we enable privacy-safe access to real-time consumer purchase data—so marketers can optimize campaigns based on what people are buying today, not last quarter.

This opens the door to adaptive targeting strategies—such as conquesting consumers shopping competitor products, or triggering promotions based on recent spending behavior.
The Data Marketplace That Moves at the Speed of Business
Experian’s Audience Engine data marketplace provides immediate access to a vast array of prebuilt and customizable audience segments. Marketers can browse, combine, and deploy audiences directly into media-buying platforms including display, mobile, CTV, and retail media networks.
With strategic partnerships spanning D&B, PlaceIQ, Alliant, Circana, and others, marketers can extend reach across industries—from consumer packaged goods and retail, to finance, auto, and B2B.
This turnkey access dramatically shortens the time between insight and execution. Yieldmo, for instance, used Experian’s marketplace to rapidly stand up CTV and display campaigns that drove measurable in-store visits for a national athletic retailer.
It’s rare to find an audience solution this scalable, compliant, and self-serve. Experian helped us move from idea to activation in days, not weeks.

Privacy-First Collaboration and Clean Room Compatibility
As privacy regulations continue to evolve, marketers must balance personalization with compliance. Experian is built to support both. All data partnerships and attributes meet stringent privacy guidelines under CCPA, GDPR, and other standards.
Experian also supports secure data collaboration in clean rooms—such as Snowflake and InfoSum—so brands can enrich first-party data, model new segments, and measure performance, all while protecting consumer privacy.
This infrastructure allows marketers to innovate with agility, without introducing risk.
