In this blog, I will outline how companies that want more control over their data and greater independence in their digital advertising can use iPROM Private DMP to develop their own data management strategy.

Third-party data complements first-party data to expand reach and create opportunities to acquire new customers.

First-party data is the foundation for effective targeting and personalisation of digital advertising

Tomaž Tomšič

Change is the only constant in digital advertising, but one core principle remains key: reaching the right user at the right time with a relevant message. First-party data has become a fundamental element in delivering more personalised and effective ad campaigns, especially when it comes to reaching and nurturing existing customers. But why is it crucial for companies to store it in private data warehouses such as iPROM Private DMP? And how can this data be used to make digital advertising more effective?
