UAT TEST HS – Shopping for the right data

Published: March 21, 2025 by Hayley Schneider

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.

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.

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.

Experian marketplace partners

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.

How knowing the social determinants of health impacting patients can save lives

The world of healthcare is often left to the doctors, surgeons and scientists. They examine our bodies, organs and genetics, determining if we are healthy and advising accordingly if we are not. This trust is well-warranted, as they spend years studying and practicing to ensure their patients receive the best care possible. However, individual health status is far more complicated than that, and cannot only be restricted to biology and chemistry. There are other factors that impact our well-being that must be accounted for in order to form a comprehensive picture of our necessary healthcare. Social Determinants of Health (or SDOH) are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age that shape our everyday health. They include socioeconomic factors such as education, neighborhood and housing, employment, social support networks and accessible transportation, among others. While not directly related to our clinical health, they still account for, and influence, many of our health outcomes. Take an elderly man proudly living alone in small town USA. Managing his diabetes is increasingly challenging. He had to give up his car eight months ago, so getting to his regular medical check-ups is a struggle. Without ongoing preventative care and maintenance, this gentleman will end up in the ER with possibly life-threatening conditions. If his physician can detect the change in his access to transportation, they can connect this patient to an eldercare transportation provider, enabling ongoing preventative care and thus avoiding costly emergency visits to the hospital. Access to transportation, healthier food, higher education and even parks can be a lifesaving factor in certain scenarios. This means that healthcare companies cannot rely solely on clinical or claims data if they wish to provide the best and most impactful care planning for their patients. They must take everything into account, from education to lifestyle to neighborhood. By looking at all available data, healthcare providers are able to get a more holistic view of the consumer and drive care plans that deliver better outcomes. Unfortunately, much of this data is fragmented and scattered, making it difficult to compare data points and group patients together in meaningful and efficient ways. Experian’s robust data and analytics is used to create more than risk scores – provide the right amount of intelligence in a digestible way to the care teams and clinicians that work with these patients every day. It provides relevant actionable insight into what drives a non-clinical cap in care, allowing healthcare organizations to make unprecedented, personalized adjustments to how they engage with patients’ in a privacy and HIPAA compliant manner.
