GrowthLoop and TransUnion Unite to Optimize Advertising Spend by Boosting Audience Reach
New partnership squashes notoriously low audience match rates for paid advertising, resulting in better return on ad spend
NEW YORK, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GrowthLoop, the leading composable customer data platform (CDP) provider, today announced a new partnership with TransUnion, a global information and insights company known for its robust identity graph. This partnership pairs GrowthLoop's best-in-class unified audience layer with TransUnion's TruAudience® Marketing Solutions, which provides high-quality data on more than 98 percent of consumers across the country. Together, they help solve a significant pain point for marketers: overspending on ad campaigns that often fail to reach their target audience.
The disparities between a company's first-party data collected from its owned channels and the data from third-party advertising platforms like Facebook and Google Ads have led to match rates hovering at a mere 20-40%. This number will only continue to decline as Google phases out third-party cookie support in Chrome. Low match rates mean digital advertising campaigns reach the wrong audience, or worse, create a poor user experience for individuals who should be excluded from campaigns, such as recent purchasers.
Marketing teams burn budgets on incorrectly targeted campaigns, which drives poor return on ad spend (ROAS) and unnecessarily high customer acquisition costs. By partnering with TransUnion, GrowthLoop is helping marketing teams tackle this challenge head on, providing the enhanced identity resolution and activation capabilities needed to boost addressable reach and maximize return on ad spend.
"Low match rates are detrimental to advertising campaigns. False positive matches, driven by 'fuzzy match' algorithms, can be even worse. Marketers have struggled with this challenge for far too long, but we don't have to accept this as the status quo," said Anthony Rotio, Chief Data Strategy Officer of GrowthLoop. "Precisely targeted advertising is crucial for marketers, especially in the wake of ongoing third-party cookie deprecation. Our partnership with TransUnion can help marketers spend their advertising dollars wisely, reaching the right customers without disrupting audiences who might benefit from a different campaign in the future."
Through this partnership with TransUnion, new and existing GrowthLoop customers will have the option to toggle on Enhanced Match Rate within the platform. This enables greater reach and better engagement for GrowthLoop's enterprise customers in industries including financial services, healthcare, technology, telecommunications, sports, entertainment, retail, consumer packaged goods, and more.
"When testing the new solution, we were able to more than double match rates between audiences and paid media partners in many cases,'' added Rotio.
