Case study: How Experian’s Graph strengthened MiQ’s Identity Spine

by Hayley Schneider 3 min read February 27, 2024

How data partnerships brighten the cookieless future

In the post-cookie landscape, staying ahead requires innovative strategies and partnerships. This case study dives into how MiQ, a leader in the cookieless era, strengthened its Identity Spine with the integration of Experian’s cross-device Graph.

Challenge

MiQ faced a pivotal challenge in avoiding a static approach to strategies and partners while evolving its cookieless initiatives. MiQ aimed to build omnichannel interoperability by integrating privacy-first partners into its Identity Spine. MiQ’s primary objectives included:

  • Reaching target audiences in privacy-compliant ways.
  • Expanding their cookieless targeting solutions.
  • Maintaining or increasing the scale expected from cookie-based targeting.

Solution

To address these challenges, MiQ strategically incorporated Experian’s cross-device Graph into its proprietary Identity Spine. MiQ’s Identity Spine seamlessly connects over 60 cookieless data feeds and 25 ID solutions. The integration allowed MiQ to:

  1. Create a unified view: MiQ now has a unified view of its clients’ target audiences, enhancing its understanding and targeting capabilities.
  2. Increase scale: By matching first-party data to multiple universal IDs, MiQ expanded its reach across devices, contributing to a 51% increase in seed audience reach and a 64% increase in universal IDs.
  3. Improve efficiency: The combination of Experian’s data with MiQ’s Identity Spine facilitated cross-device ID resolution, leading to more accurate measurement and reporting.

Experian’s global data coverage complemented MiQ’s regional expertise, amplifying global reach and adaptability to changing regulations.

“Experian’s Graph has bolstered our alreadycomprehensive, multi-ID Identity Spine withincredible data on cross-device ownershipand cross-channel behavior.”

Georgie Haig, Strategy and Partnerships Director, MiQ Digital

Results

The integration of Experian’s data solution significantly contributed to the success of MiQ’s Identity Spine expansion. The results speak volumes:

  • A 51% increase in seed audience reach across devices.
  • A 64% boost in reaching audiences through universal IDs.
  • Experian’s Graph added 6.5 devices to each matched IP address, enhancing scale and targeting capabilities.
  • A 70% match rate in associating MiQ-provided IP addresses with universal IDs.

These outcomes showcase how Experian’s Graph empowered MiQ to find, grow, and measure customers across screens, providing a future-proofed solution for evolving industry challenges.

Uncovering hashed email: you may be sitting on a goldmine of customer data and don’t even know it

Email hashing was originally intended to be used as an email security feature that has ended up being a very powerful marketing tool. A hashed email is a cryptographic function that changes an email address to a random code which can be used as an anonymous customer identifier. This code is privacy-safe and cannot be traced back to the customer’s email address. However, this hashed email can function like a digital passport that traces every behavior and action a customer takes when logged into an account that is authenticated with an email, making hashed emails a goldmine for customer data. Today emails are used across traditional publishers and within the CTV ecosystem; tying them to more consumer touch points than ever before. Why the emphasis now? Cookies are on their way out the door and have been the primary way that many marketers have tracked their existing and potential customers. In order to replace this granular level of data, marketers are likely going to need multiple solutions. With so many cookieless solutions and IDs appearing in the marketplace, the mapping of the customer journey is bound to be fragmented. Relying on first-party data, such as hashed email, is just one way to reduce that fragmentation; as it can serve as an authenticated starting point for cross-device identity resolution that can be leveraged for targeting, personalization and measurement. How can Tapad + Experian help? Tapad + Experian's Hashed Email Onboarding is a privacy-safe way to connect consumer email addresses to their related digital devices and other digital identifiers through high precision probabilistic identity. By onboarding hashed emails and incorporating them within your Tapad Graph file you can: Build a more holistic view of individuals and households and their relationship to email addresses in your first-party data set Leverage these relationships for increased cross-device scale for targeting Employ personalization tactics at the household or individual level across devices Create new audience segments and look-alike models for cross-channel activation Design more inclusive measurement and attribution for customer journey mapping Tapad, a part of Experian has built a hashed email onboarding product feature that works with the existing flexibility of The Tapad Graph to deliver the most holistic consumer view, combined with the attributes you need, in the structure that works best for your business objectives.
