Utiq Demonstrates Enhanced Campaign Performance Through Adobe CDP Integration

Utiq, the European AdTech company providing a Telco-powered infrastructure that leverages authentic, user-consented signals, has successfully integrated its technology with Adobe’s Real-Time Customer Data Platform (CDP). This integration was validated through a pioneering data-only campaign in collaboration with iq digital and GroupM, delivering exceptional results for an automotive client.

Adobe’s Real-Time CDP enables brands to unify customer data, discover new audience segments, and deliver personalized experiences without third-party cookies. By integrating with Utiq, brands gain enhanced audience recognition and segmentation in a privacy-compliant way. This synergy strengthens targeting and relevant messaging, allowing businesses to maximize engagement while maintaining full control over their customer data.

Unlocking the Power of User-Consented Signals

To evidence this combined capability, iq digital and GroupM ran a campaign that marked the first utilization of Utiq’s user-consented signals and Authentic Audiences within Adobe’s Real-Time CDP. This enabled precise cross-publisher and cross-browser targeting, allowing advertisers to recover significant deterministic reach, particularly in non-Chrome environments where traditional cookie-based methods are less effective.

Key Outcomes

  • Enhanced Deterministic Reach: Over 90% of impressions in non-Chrome browsers were delivered using Utiq’s ID, resulting in a 290% uplift and a substantial increase in net reach.
  • Improved Frequency Control: The integration facilitated stable frequency management, with Utiq users in non-Chrome browsers experiencing an average of 3.29 ad touchpoints.
  • Superior Re-identification Rates: Utiq achieved up to a 61% better re-identification rate compared to cookie-based targeting methods.

Industry Leaders on the Future of Privacy-First Advertising

Svenja Onasch, Head of Data Management at iq digital, highlighted the significance of this collaboration: “The combination of privacy-first, innovative technology and constantly growing reach makes Utiq the ideal partner in our eyes to give advertisers and agencies like GroupM more opportunities to enter into a constant dialog with target groups.”

Jens Depenau, Expert Partner Data Strategy at GroupM, also emphasized the campaign’s success: “The cross-publisher Utiq data-only test based on data signals from the iq digital portfolio was a complete success from GroupM’s point of view. With the help of our cookieless targeting evaluation metric PREPITS, we were able to record positive results across all seven dimensions.”

Advancing Privacy-Compliant, Data-Driven Advertising

This collaboration underscores Utiq’s commitment to advancing privacy-compliant, data-driven advertising solutions. By integrating with Adobe’s Real-Time CDP and partnering with industry leaders like iq digital and GroupM, Utiq continues to deliver innovative approaches that enhance marketing performance while respecting user privacy.
