Publishers using Audience Manager, FreeWheel’s audience-enabled solution, can unify audiences across devices and ad types, including linear, through the FreeWheel Identity Network. Advertisers using Beeswax, FreeWheel’s demand-side platform (DSP), can target these audiences across multiple devices and platforms to ensure their campaigns resonate and deliver better results. Whether advertisers are targeting holiday shoppers or in-market car shoppers, Experian’s data ensures campaigns are timely, relevant, and effective.

Boost your campaigns with targeted audience solutions

When it comes to capturing the interest of car buyers or connecting with valuable holiday shoppers, our collaboration provides audience targeting to ensure a marketer’s message hits home when it counts.

  • Capture TV viewers at the right moment. Developed in partnership with the Advertising Research Foundation (ARF), Experian’s TV viewership audiences allow advertisers to reach households based on actual viewing habits, from how a household consumes TV to the brand of TV they own.
  • Drive auto sales with in-market targeting. Reach in-market and near-market car buyers to support vehicle launches and end-of-year promotions, ensuring advertisers’ messages hit consumers actively looking for a vehicle.
  • Maximize retail success during the holiday. The holiday shopping season presents an ideal opportunity to capture attention, drive sales, and build lasting customer relationships. Experian can help you capitalize on the holiday season with precisely targeted audiences, including shopping styles, discount-seekers, gift-givers, and holiday travelers.

Transform your campaigns with Experian Audiences

With Experian Audiences available in FreeWheel’s platforms, advertisers can access the data they need to create high-impact campaigns across TV and digital platforms. Whether your goal is to drive sales during the holiday season or reach in-market car shoppers, Experian’s trusted data ensures you’ll reach the right audience at the right time with the right message.

UAT TEST HS – Shopping for the right data

In a perfect world, we’d all have a single, go-to grocery store that carried everything on our shopping list – fresh produce, gourmet coffee beans, rare spices, and maybe even that special-grade olive oil, right alongside our wholesale bulk purchases at unbeatable prices. It would be convenient and efficient, and it’d save a lot of driving around town. The changing data marketplace: From one-stop shop to specialized selection For a long time, data buyers enjoyed something similar in their world: a small set of large-scale data marketplaces that offered a wide array of audiences, making it easy to load up on whatever you needed in one place. Not only are there fewer places to pick everything up, but new factors like privacy and signal deprecation are placing a spotlight on quality and addressability. Just as our dinner plans are growing more ambitious insofar as we want health, flavor, value, and convenience all in one place – so are our data strategies. Instead of a single steak-and-potatoes meal, today’s data marketplace operators might be cooking up a complex menu of campaigns. “Experian has been a longstanding partner of DISH Media, and we’re excited to be an early adopter of their marketplace which leverages the foundation of their identity solutions to ensure maximum cross-channel reach as we look to expand the breadth and depth of data we use for addressable TV.”Kemal Bokhari, Head of Data, Measurement & Analytics, DISH Media As a result, data buyers are beginning to shop around. Some still rely on large-scale marketplaces for familiar staples, but now they have reasons to explore other options. Some are turning to providers known for offering top-tier, transparently sourced segments. Others are focusing on specialty providers that excel in one area. A more selective approach to data buying In this environment, choosing where to “shop” for data is becoming more deliberate and selective. Data buyers aren’t just thinking about broad scale; they’re looking to prioritize quality, durability, data privacy, and differentiation. They need to place higher value on data marketplaces that can maintain audience addressability over time, despite signal loss. Sometimes, that means accepting a smaller assortment in exchange for tighter vetting and more reliable targeting. Other times it means mixing and matching – stopping by one marketplace for premium segments and another for cost-friendly, wide-reaching data sets. Either way, they can benefit from having more choices. “Experian has been a longstanding partner of DISH Media, and we’re excited to be an early adopter of their marketplace which leverages the foundation of their identity solutions to ensure maximum cross-channel reach as we look to expand the breadth and depth of data we use for addressable TV.”Kemal Bokhari, Head of Data, Measurement & Analytics, DISH Media Experian’s marketplace: A trusted source for high-quality data Experian’s vetted and curated blend of data partners and vertically-aligned audiences offers a trusted specialty store for data buyers.

The future of data marketplaces: Precision and flexibility matter The evolution of data marketplaces reflects the industry\’s shifting priorities. Data buyers seek specificity, reliability, and adaptability to align with their diverse campaign needs. The best data strategy, much like the best grocery run, isn’t about grabbing everything in one place – it’s about carefully selecting the right ingredients to create the perfect recipe for success. This shift underscores the importance of flexibility and precision as data buyers navigate a landscape shaped by privacy regulations, signal loss, and evolving consumer expectations. As data marketplaces adapt to meet these demands, they are redefining what it means to deliver value. Experian’s marketplace enables buyers to strike the perfect balance between reach and quality by offering enhanced match rates, precise audience planning, and seamless distribution. In this new era, data buyers have the tools and options to craft campaigns that are impactful and aligned with the increasingly selective and privacy-conscious digital landscape. The key is recognizing that today’s data strategy is about utilizing the strengths of many to create a cohesive and effective whole.
