Two LiveRamp items today: they’ve entered the B2B identity data market place and added Experian audience segments to their B2C data. They were in the news last week for offering free use of their Person ID to ad buyers and sellers. Seems their split from Acxiom last September has freed up some animal spirits.
Ah, Spring. A time for change. Right on cue, predictive sales management vendor Clari is changing its scope to include all revenue-related departments. Clari assembles customer and prospect data from multiple corporate systems, generates forecasts and other analytics, and will now share the results with sales, marketing, and customer success teams. It would be a Customer Data Platform if they exposed the data to external systems, but it seems they do not.
Inuvo does yet another type of Web analysis, deriving concepts and relationships from words and phrases within online content and then using content consumption to infer user intent. The end result is used for ad targeting. Inuvo just announced a deal to integrate its data with the AppNexus programmable ad platform, which will make the data available on more than 60 ad exchanges.
T-Mobile will allow advertisers to target more than 20,000 screens in 11,000 store locations. That’s a lot of screens, but how much foot traffic does the average T-Mobile store get? It’s also linking up with streaming media company Plex as a CTV partner.
