Wunderkind's recognition technology connects previously anonymous interactions to rich, known customer profiles - bridging gaps across the user journey, unlocking higher-intent targeting and empowering brands to know exactly who they're paying to reach. Instead of taking a shot in the dark or approaching paid social like a gamble, brands can utilize identity resolution to connect previously anonymous interactions to recognizable customer profiles. This personalized approach enables brands to deliver the right campaigns to the right audiences, based on real-time behavioral signals and predictive attributes, rather than taking a spray-and-pray approach.
More than 200 million people today sit in the shadows of addressability, including 150 million iPhone users. But the results from a new campaign collaboration show that despite mounting challenges due to signal loss, privacy shifts and fragmented device ecosystems, there is a way to restore addressability at scale and drive meaningful business outcomes - and it comes from a combination of the right identity resolution and high-quality data.
On Tuesday, Roqad, a company that now describes itself as "the LiveRamp of Europe," announced its acquisition of Zeotap-Data, the third-party data division of Zeotap, a startup that once wanted to be the LiveRamp of Europe. Both companies declined to share the financial terms. Roqad CEO Carsten Frien told AdExchanger the deal will help Roqad expand its identity resolution business through access to scaled third-party audience segments and Zeo tap Data's integrations with around 30 ad tech partners, including The Trade Desk, Adform, Google's DV360 and Amazon DSP.
Over the past decade, marketers have become experts in identity resolution. We've mapped behaviors across devices, stitched together customer records, and built sprawling graphs that promise a 360-degree view of the customer.
