Transition your audience targeting with our Oracle-to-Experian mapping guide

As Oracle exits the advertising space, we understand that this may present a challenge. Experian is here to support you with a seamless transition in your audience targeting. As one of Oracle’s primary data providers that powered their audiences, we’ve mapped Oracle audiences to Experian audiences, helping you to switch your audience targeting with no impact on your campaign’s performance.

In this blog post, we highlight four audience categories that we know marketers are actively seeking to replace and target: auto, restaurants, lifestyle and interests, and demographics.

Experian’s approach to best-in-class audience targeting

  • 2,400+ syndicated audiences powered by marketing data ranked #1 in accuracy by Truthset offers advertisers the ability to reach people based on demographic, geographic, and behavioral attributes
  • Our audiences span 15 data categories including demographics, auto, retail purchases, lifestyles and interests, financial, and travel
  • Audiences are available on-the-shelf on 30+ major ad platforms, including TV, social, and programmatic, or distribute them to 200+ media platforms

Experian’s audience solutions are rooted in offline, deterministic data — like name, address, phone number, and email — that rarely changes. Our deep understanding of people in the offline and digital worlds provides marketers a persistent linkage of known offline data and digital identifiers, which means you get accurate and consistent audience targeting across all channels.

Auto, Cars, and Trucks

Auto, Cars, and Trucks

As the premier auto partner contributing to Oracle auto segments, Experian can help you reach and target consumers based on their known and predictive auto shopping behaviors. Experian’s auto audiences are built utilizing insight from our North American Vehicle Database℠ and other data attributes from Experian Marketing Data to provide highly accurate audiences for digital and TV advertising.

Unlike some of our competitors who are also positioning themselves as a replacement audience provider, Experian owns all our Vehicle, Consumer, and summarized Credit data under one umbrella and refreshes our audiences every 30 days. This ensures tighter audience composition, superior data hygiene, and best in-class data fidelity, which means you get to target the most accurate audiences. With over 750 syndicated audiences segmented by make, model, price, vehicle age, fuel type, and more, our data is accessible through Experian’s distribution power across all platforms — digital, TV, programmatic, and social — allowing activation wherever our partners need it.

Here are the 10 most popular Experian audiences that align with Oracle’s auto audiences:

It’s time for ad buying to evolve

For as long as the ad buying process has existed, most brands and agencies have put an emphasis on the channel – meaning there were specific campaigns for direct mail, email, TV, social media, banner ads, etc. In fact, the teams responsible for these campaigns often work in silos. But with more people consuming information through multiple channels, it’s important for brands and agencies to put the customer at the center of the ad buying process – to develop and implement true omnichannel campaigns. I recently wrote a byline article for Broadcasting & Cable that explored the concept of the “PeopleFronts.” While the Upfronts and Newfronts have dominated the ad buying world, brands and agencies need place larger emphasis on the customer. At the end of the day, the right mindset can open the door for more powerful campaigns and relevant messages that resonate with the consumer.
