Here are two more bits of identity-related news. Verticast’s Valassis has launched Household Connect, which groups devices into households based on their behaviors and ties them to a physical address. And TVSquared has integrated Foursquare location data to tie TV ads to store visits and foot traffic. Household Connect will enable better ad targeting while the TVSquared enhancement will improve campaign measurement.

Piano is another company that doesn’t call itself a CDP but still builds unified customer profiles.  Their focus is supporting subscription businesses with features ranging from subscription sales to personalized experience creation to recommendations to audience segmentation.  They just raised a $20 million Series C plus $68 million in debt, on top of a previous $28 million.

They didn’t call it a CDP, but Meta just launched a product to “connect your first-party data from any sources to any destination, streamlining your data handling processes and unlocking valuable insights to optimize your marketing campaigns.” The name of this miracle cure is Signals Gateway, and pricing seems to start at $30 per month. Data is hosted in Amazon Web Services and, at least in theory, Meta can’t see it.
