Media Alert: Adobe Launches New Data Marketplace

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Nov. 10, 2015 - Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the availability of Audience Marketplace, a new data exchange in Adobe Audience Manager, the company's data management platform (DMP). Audience Marketplace is a private data marketplace that connects advertisers and content publishers to buy and sell second and third-party data without the time-consuming challenges of setting up individual partnership agreements. The data exchange also enables companies to scale their high-value audience segments for personalized and targeted content across marketing channels.

Strong Partner Ecosystem - Audience Marketplace customers benefit from integrations with leading data providers, all vetted and qualified by Adobe to ensure they are adhering to standard data privacy and security policies. The extensive network of leading data partners offers large volumes of high-value audience data for more accurate and valuable insights. The ecosystem also removes the complexity associated with managing different rules for data supply and demand.

360 View - Audience Marketplace allows advertisers and content publishers to create more granular, high-value audience segments that are scalable and more accurate than ever before. First-party data (directly owned by an organization) and third-party data (aggregated data, such as demographic information, purchased from other sources) can now be merged with second-party data (another company's first-party data that can be shared). For example, companies with look-alike audiences, such as an airline and a hotel, can exchange data since both audiences have similar consumer profiles associated with travel.

Flexibility and Transparency - When it comes to audience data, sellers expect flexibility and buyers want transparency. Audience Marketplace provides flexible pricing options and an infrastructure that makes data sharing more seamless and transparent. The data exchange also provides insights into how audience segments are performing in real-time, which maximizes marketing ROI.

In the past, data marketplaces lacked pricing and quality transparency on both sides of the equation, said Stuart Watson, senior vice president of Emerging Media and Technology, Camelot Strategic Marketing and Media. Advertisers and publishers recognize the opportunity is between each others first-party data. Audience Marketplace enables the transparency to protect the value each party brings to the table.
