CDP Blueshift has released a bi-directional integration with cloud data platform Snowflake, making it easier to load Snowflake data into the Blueshift profile database and to post Blueshift data into Snowflake. The dozens of other announcements from Snowflake’s Summit conference included integrations with data clean room products from Habu, Acxiom, and Aidentified, and a tighter connection with reverse ETL product Hightouch.
Neustar has launched Marketing and Analytics Clean Room, following the industry trend of utterly generic product names. Despite the name, Neustar says its product is a “first-of-its-kind solution” that uses advanced identity resolution, machine learning, and privacy-enhancing technology to combine first, second, and third party data from many marketing and media sources including connected TV and walled gardens.
Privacy tech is a fast-growing industry, as well as an increasingly important use case for CDPs. So it was a shock yesterday to see OneTrust lay off nearly 1,000 people – one-quarter of its staff – despite $926 million total funding. Let’s balance that with last week’s news that Immuta, which helps companies enforce complex data access policies, raised a $100 million Series E, bringing its total raise to $258 million.
GrowthLoop will use TransUnion identity data to improve U.S. consumer match rates on client files sent to advertising media such as Facebook and Google Ads. The data should also help clients to find matches among records within their files, building more accurate customer profiles. GrowthLoop calls itself a “composable CDP”, meaning it works with data assembled in external data warehouses.
