December 7, 2016 – Sterling, Va. Neustar, Inc. (NYSE: NSR), a trusted, neutral provider of real-time information services, today announced new enhancements to PlatformOne™, an award-winning identity data management platform (IDMP), with the release of its Data Catalog. The brand-new Neustar Data Catalog will help marketers create and optimize custom audiences; activate them consistently across programmatic, omnichannel marketing campaigns; and provide deeper insights into how marketing fuels return on investment (ROI). With the launch of the Data Catalog, marketers will now have access to Neustar’s existing audience activation solutions, as well as third-party data sources to build precision-based data programs.

Data is the currency that drives modern marketing and informs how marketers engage with their customers across a plethora of marketing channels. Everyday, marketers count on their own first-party data, as well as second-and third-party data sources to gain a singular view of their customers and to deliver hyper-personalized, connected experiences. The Neustar Data Catalog allows marketers to build high-value custom audiences from a blend of data sources, which are authoritatively corroborated and validated with the Neustar OneID® system, for digital ad targeting. Marketers can build these custom audiences once, syndicate them across all media buying channels (e.g. TV, display, mobile, social) with the confidence that they are reaching the same people, places and things across the entire marketing campaign, and measure campaign performance from one baseline.

“Today’s data-driven marketers need a customer graph that goes beyond contact information, social media profiles and advertisement exposures. With Neustar’s identity data management platform (IDMP), powered by OneID, marketers can definitively know who their customers are, both offline and online, and activate their audiences across all channels,” said Michael Schoen, Vice President of Marketing Services, Neustar. “With the launch of our new data catalog, we are helping brands with more accurate targeting, limiting their media dollar waste and delivering the best connected customer experiences across channels and devices.”

• Precision Data-Driven Marketing Insights to Drive Confident Buying Decisions: Marketers make better ad spending decisions—traditional or programmatic—when they can take the guess work out of understanding the customer and how to find them. The Neustar OneID system is one of the most authoritative identity sources currently available and it powers all of Neustar’s marketing solutions. Neustar’s proprietary technology utilizes multiple identifiers and correlates and corroborates an explicitly affirmed connection, which provides marketers one of the highest customer match rates, and reach possible across all marketing channels, both online and offline.
• Modern Approach for a Connected Customer Experience with PlatformOne: Traditionally, in order to simulate a connected customer experience, marketers have had to rely on multiple partners to reach a customer across different channels and devices. By accessing Neustar’s network of integrated ad platform partners, marketers can create and syndicate their unique custom audiences across their preferred media-buying platforms directly within PlatformOne. This maximizes customer reach and results in minimal data loss. The PlatformOne IDMP is an industry leader providing marketers the ability to activate their custom audiences across all channels, spanning display, mobile, social, and addressable TV.
