Business marketing has been a growth area for CDPs in the past year or two.  ActionIQ entered that arena last week with a B2B edition of its enterprise-oriented CDP.  Special features include partnerships with B2B data vendors, a B2B-specific data model, and integrations with B2B marketing tools including Account-Based Marketing and product analytics systems.

Google isn’t the only company trying to help advertisers identify their customers without cookies.  IPG subsidiary Kinesso has just launched “Kinesso Intelligent Identity” (a.k.a. “Kii” and pronounced “Key” – get it?).  Like other solutions, it relies on consumer-provided identifiers, although Kinesso says it “typically” finds 20% more matches across more channels, apparently because it has more identifiers to match against.  Your mileage may vary.

It barely feels like news when industry giants add AI features, since that’s what they’re expected to do. But lots of people use their products, so their announcements are probably of higher interest than most. With that in mind, let’s note that Adobe has just announced general availability of agents for audience creation, journey orchestration, experimentation, journey insights, website optimization and agent support.
