Marketer Spend on Identity Resolution Solutions Continues to Accelerate, Indicating a Push Towards Optimizing Customer-Centric Marketing
29.5%
CAGR 2018-2022E
Market Demand Trends
• The data onboarding market (encompassing both onboarding for
paid media and onboarding for owned media/ personalization uses)
surpassed half a billion dollars in 2018 and is expected to reach
nearly $1.5BB by 2022E, growing at a 30.2% CAGR from 2017 to
2022E
• Marketers’ shift toward omnichannel strategies and personalization
across all channels fuels usage of onboarding; use cases from
CRM to digital targeting continue to mature
• As marketers continue to prioritize the growth of owned data assets
by collecting an increasing amount of data on their customers,
CRM databases will grow and so too will the number of media
channels that can be activated using CRM data—this will further
facilitate onboarding growth
• For the market to continue to grow, service providers must
provide ongoing education to inform marketers about
onboarding use cases and opportunities; this includes developing
case studies that demonstrate the benefits of first-party marketer
data flowing through the entire marketing technology
*: Includes spend on identity resolution and identity graphs (e.g., device graphs and non-PII providers)

Why Marketers are Focused on Identity
7
• 70% of US digital marketers say perceived
demand from customers will be an important
driver of their data-driven marketing efforts
• 47% pointed to the growing emphasis on
measurability and accountability
• Marketers are relying more than ever on first-
party data to personalize customer
experiences, though external data still plays a
major role
Identity Graph Plays Major Role in Identity Resolution
In a recent Forrester Report,
The Identity Graph is “the Key to Identity Resolution,”
• An identity graph is “a graph that defines connections between the
numerous, fluid, and disparate identifiers created during customer
engagement with brands.”
• The Identity Graph “is the foundation for identity resolution and customer
engagement”
▸ “Connects disparate consumer identifiers into an accurate and complete view”
▸ “Effective identity resolution and customer profile development depends on the
precision, depth and scale of the identity graph”
• The Identity Graph “represents a fundamental shift in identity resolution
capabilities”
▸ “Brands increasingly view the identity graph as a standalone data asset apart
from identity resolution solutions”
▸ “Sophisticated marketing organizations see value in developing and directly
controlling proprietary identity graph capabilities”

Tactical Steps to Resolving Identity: Matching

AuthoritativeData
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
A data source is authoritative when it is the one all others rely upon for the reliable and accurate information.
An authoritative source is known to be reliable because its authority or authenticity is widely recognized.
Deterministic Data and Matches
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
A technique of comparing identifiers of a data record with those of another
Definitive or exact match of values in two unique pieces of data or identifiers
The most effective approach for delivering accuracy
Probabilistic Data Matches
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Sometimes called fuzzy matching
Uses Deterministic data to create : inferred, modeled or probable assumptions
Can provide for greatest possible scale in establishing an audience when limited data available or permissible
