1st Party Data
Who Owns It?
How Is It Used?
How Is It
Collected?
Advantages
1st party data is created and collected by the advertiser or publisher.
Primarily used for direct targeting, such as remarketing, retargeting or upselling
existing customers.
Data is collected via pixels placed on the advertiser’s or publisher’s site. This can
include site registrations / logins, social media interaction, and participation in
surveys.
Closest to the source, with little to no latency between collection and analysis /
action.

2nd Party Data
Who Owns It?
How Is It Used?
How Is It
Collected?
Advantages
Owned by the source, but shared directly with another party in exclusive
agreements.
Primarily used for direct targeting, such as remarketing or retargeting.
Same process as 1st party data, but now shared directly with another partner, like
a publisher, advertiser or DMP.
Competitive advantage over 3rd party data because of the exclusive nature.

3rd Party Data
Who Owns It?
How Is It Used?
How Is It
Collected?
Advantages
Owned by the source and shared with outside partners
Data is used for audience measurement and targeting by digital marketers.
Data is collected from the source and distributed out to other partners in non-
exclusive agreements.
Easy to acquire because it’s collected by many parties and readily available for
purchase in the marketplace.

The power of real-time data at work

How to use data effectively
• When selecting the type of data to use, it’s best to start with what your
campaign goals are.
• Select the right solution provider. Some questions to ask:
1. What unique data sources do you have access to?
2. How often is your data refreshed?
3. How is your data modeled?
4. Do you have proof of the accuracy of your data?
5. What additional insights can your data provide?

Direct Response campaigns
work best where the brand is
already strong
