InfoSum and The Trade Desk to Power Privacy-Centric Activation of Advertiser First-Party Data

Advertisers and Agencies, including Omnicom, to activate audience-based campaigns directly from InfoSum data clean rooms using first-party data via Unified ID 2.0

InfoSum, the world’s leading data collaboration platform, announced a new integration with global advertising leader The Trade Desk that enables advertisers to activate first-party data with identifiers including Unified ID 2.0 in a privacy centric way. The partnership and integration will bring together two companies focused on the future of privacy, security, interoperability, and open marketplaces.

“This integration intends to make advertising and data collaboration easier, more secure, faster, and more effective for InfoSum and The Trade Desk customers”

With advertisers adapting their strategies to rely on first-party data, this integration will provide the combination of more targeted and durable audiences and the control and effectiveness of activating on the open internet via programmatic exchange – creating an environment that has consumer privacy and security in mind. Advertisers and agencies alike, including industry leaders like Omnicom Media Group, will now be able to utilize InfoSum’s data clean rooms and Bunkers to activate against The Trade Desk client’s datasets.

“This integration intends to make advertising and data collaboration easier, more secure, faster, and more effective for InfoSum and The Trade Desk customers,” said Lauren Wetzel, InfoSum Chief Operating Officer. “As companies continue planning for a cookieless future, there is no one-size-fits-all approach and this partnership with The Trade Desk helps to create an open marketplace for advertisers in a privacy-centric way.”
