Comscore, working with Experian, InfoSum and LiveRamp, said it will begin incorporating first-party data into its audience targeting product, Predictive Audiences.
Predictive Audiences enables advertisers to reach audiences based on granular behaviors centered on contextuality. The ability for advertisers to add their first-party data to the mix increases the type of behavior-based audiences they can target.
“As the cookie-free future draws closer, it's clear that advertisers need better mechanisms to leverage their 1st party data in a privacy-centric and cookie-free way," said Rachel Gantz, general manager, activation solutions, Comscore. "We're thrilled to collaborate with all the major matching and clean room leaders to enhance our Predictive Audiences solution, which is the only capability in the market that offers this first-party integration at scale for advertisers across geographies."
