How media owners can take advantage of the deprecation of third-party cookies with data clean rooms

First-party data collaboration in data clean rooms

Data clean rooms offer media owners and brands new possibilities for sharing even the most sensitive data, thanks to the fact that their data remains encrypted at all times, even when it is being analyzed in the data clean room. This ensures that data sharing always remains compliant with data privacy regulations.

As media owners and brands bring their first-party customer data together in a data clean room, they can now match customers’ personally identifiable information (PII) – or data that could be used to identify a person, such as full name, email address, passport number, etc.

In a world without third-party cookies, this matching of customer data between media owners and brands is extremely powerful and can benefit both parties in the following ways:

1. Media owners can justify their value and generate more ad revenue

By collaborating on first-party customer data, media owners enable brands to assess customer overlap and guarantee more precise audience reach. This allows media owners to better compete against ad giants such as Facebook and Google.

Media owners can justify the value of their audience to brands and demonstrate why brands should spend their ad budget on campaigns with them. This could lead brands to redirect their ad budget from the likes of Facebook and Google, and instead allocate a greater share of their ad budget to media owners.

2. Media owners can support brands in building lookalike audiences

With such first-party data collaboration, brands can better understand their customer profiles and leverage the media owner’s audiences to build lookalike target audiences.

After computing lookalike audiences, media owners can support brands by activating these more precise audiences. This enables the brand's advertising to reach the best segments of consumers who are more likely to purchase their products or services, and thus contribute to a higher return on ad spend.

3. Brands can have greater transparency into the attribution of ad campaigns

Brands can also have an overview of the effectiveness of various ad campaigns running across different media owners. By matching the media owner and brand’s first-party data, brands can gain a deeper understanding of the impact of their advertising on purchasing decisions.

This would enable brands to better evaluate the effectiveness of their campaigns across each platform. With this additional access and greater transparency, brands are better equipped to optimize their ad spend, refine their messaging and targeting on different channels, ultimately to improve their customer marketing and retention.
