The Experian and Snowflake partnership showcases how collaboration can enhance scalability and cost-efficiency. Data clean rooms provide a secure environment where multiple parties can share, join, and analyze their data assets without leaving the clean room or exposing the underlying data. By integrating Experian’s identity graph within Snowflake’s secure platform businesses of all sizes can receive advanced data collaboration and identity tools without the high costs usually involved.
The integration prioritizes consumer privacy and data security. Backed by Experian’s Global Data Principles, Experian’s deep roots in data protection and security provide customers with the most trusted way to share data and protect consumer privacy. With Experian’s graph in Snowflake Data Clean Rooms, customers will get a solution that respects customer consent, safeguards sensitive data, and ensures that processing occurs with the utmost respect for user confidentiality and preferences.
Further, Snowflake Data Clean Rooms uses advanced methods to preserve privacy, such as differential privacy and secure computations on encrypted data, enabling data security and integrity. Together, these methods prevent unauthorized access by keeping sensitive data within the secure confines of the cleanroom on a strict, collaboration-to-collaboration basis.
The collaboration between Experian and Snowflake significantly enhances data matching and identity resolution within the Snowflake Data Cleanroom. Experian’s identity solution uses digital identifiers like hashed emails, MAIDs, and CTV IDs and offline identifiers like name and address. This allows advertisers to reach more consumers and enrich their data. Marketers can easily use their first-party data in the cleanroom, and with Experian’s Graph, they get higher match rates for more accurate targeting and campaign measurement.
The continued partnership between Snowflake and Experian provide advertisers, platforms, and measurement providers a secure and effective way to collaborate. This sets the stage for continued innovation in programmatic advertising, ensuring that our solutions evolve in step with our clients’ needs.
If you’re not utilizing clean rooms for collaboration but have advanced identity needs, you can license our Graph and seamlessly integrate it into your Snowflake account.

If you are a mother, or if you know any mothers, you know that being a mom of an infant or toddler can be challenging. Not only is there an extreme amount of responsibility involved (and very little sleep!) but there is also a shift in social priorities. It’s no longer easy to ‘catch up with the ladies’ over drinks. Finding time to go on a date means finding a baby sitter and scheduling far in advance. And weekly poker nights at the neighbor’s house may no longer be feasible. It’s not a surprise, then, that moms with young kids (MYK’s) are very apt to become active on social media websites. In fact, according to a recent whitepaper by Experian Marketing Services, these moms are two times more likely than the average adult to use social media more than three times each day. And not only are they more likely to visit these sites, but they are also more likely to be active, posting and commenting two times more than the overall population. A possible explanation for this observation is that MYKs, especially those with infants, spend a lot of time at home with the kids and need an outlet that allows them to stay connected with family and friends. In that sense, social media—especially sites like Facebook (the top choice for MYK’s) where users can share photos, statuses and private messages—is ready-made for this segment. Beyond catching up with friends, these moms have a high propensity to follow brands and companies on social media platforms. Because they are so participatory as a segment, they offer a huge opportunity to marketers who may be looking to expand their target audience or narrow in on young mothers. Brands looking to target moms with young kids should consider offering deals through these social channels. They should also encourage moms to participate in their branded social media posts, both to interact with the brand directly and to support conversations between moms. Brands that offer time-saving ways to keep in touch and share ideas across platforms will do well with this segment. And marketers can get creative, too! Sponsoring “most beautiful baby” contests or starting discussions about the best way to calm a fussy child will not only give moms an entertaining break in their day, but will also help them associate the brand with positive, helpful experiences. For more information about moms with young kids, their online and mobile behaviors, and how to best reach them, download the whitepaper: From Diapers to Preschool: a window into the world of the Mom with Young Kids.
The holiday season is right around the corner and retailers are gearing up for a massive influx of customers, both new visitors and returning loyal patrons. But, organizations need to make sure they’re prepared to handle the influx of business. Data quality should be a priority for retailers at any time of year, but even more so as the holiday season approaches. During this time, it’s important for companies to provide customers with relevant shopping offers. When consumers shop for holiday gifts for their friends and families, they have countless directions to which they can turn. In order to prevail in competition, retailers need to provide customers with relevant offers and messages. Unfortunately, many businesses fall short in this regard. According to recent research from Experian QAS, organizations feel that, on average, 25 percent of their data is inaccurate. Consumers are frantically looking to find deals on products that meet their holiday needs, but loyalty offers may not be reaching consumers. One reason for the difficulty is the messy nature of companies’ customer databases. Retail businesses are working hard to gather as much information as possible about the consumers who patronize them, but all too often, information is riddled with errors. These errors have become more prevalent in recent years due to the proliferation of mobile apps, web interfaces and social media channels. There are so many different channels that companies now interact with people through an average of 3.27 channels. This poor data quality is hurting organizational bottom lines. Experian QAS found that an average of 12 percent of departmental budgets are wasted due to inaccuracies in contact data. During the 2013 holiday season, consumer spending is expected to increase by at least 11 percent. Retailers need to be certain that they improve data quality prior to the holiday season to ensure communications reach consumers and resources are maximized in order to take advantage of the expected increase. Be sure to check out our new data quality infographic.
Experian Marketing Services’ Head of Global Research Bill Tancer appeared recently on Fox Business News to talk about new holiday shopping trends, including why both retailers and consumers are starting the 2013 season earlier this year. “We are seeing the eventual extinction of Black Friday,” says Tancer. “What we see in our data is that retail is really changing. The consumer is relentlessly searching for that deal.” In fact, as Tancer notes, the hyper-connected, digital consumer is already searching for holiday deals. Hear more from Tancer in this clip.
