CONWAY, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Acxiom® (Nasdaq: ACXM), the data foundation for the world's best marketers, today announced it has launched its InfoBase® consumer database and AbiliTec® Identity Resolution offering in Mexico, enabling companies to reach 78 million unique individuals, covering 84 percent of all adults. Acxiom clients and partners can now access rich third-party, ethically sourced and regionally compliant consumer insights across Mexico’s online and offline ecosystems to better market their products and services and to manage customer engagement strategies across today’s vast and borderless digital landscape. When brands better understand consumers’ needs and preferences, consumers are able to engage in more meaningful ways with the brands they love.

In a highly fragmented data market, advertisers seek data capabilities to facilitate more accurate and powerful identification, enrichment and targeting of customers and prospects across Mexico. Acxiom’s InfoBase for Mexico brings together many local market data sources to create the richest third-party data asset available in the country and offers unparalleled demographic information, geo-statistical data – like age, property, affluence and education – and rich digital behavioral segments. “We have decades of experience vetting and curating data for the world’s largest brands,” said Marc Fanelli, GVP of global data and analytics at Acxiom. “Our clients are excited Acxiom can now deliver those deep consumer insights in Mexico.”

Acxiom’s AbiliTec for Mexico provides clients a new solution that helps accurately identify people across the region using an identity graph that brings together multiple local market sources to create the richest, most comprehensive consumer recognition asset available, providing insights that allow marketers to create better customer experiences. With data ethically obtained and compliant with local and national laws, Acxiom’s broad identity and consumer insight capabilities offer the ability to cleanse, correct, identify and complete customer data, making it ready for activation across channels. Identity is foundational to omnichannel engagement with people, and this enhanced offering provides concrete benefits for any company doing business in Mexico and is the first step to better connecting with their global audience.

As part of this launch, Acxiom has expanded its partnership with 4INFO, which has built a mobile-first, cross-screen marketing technology platform that enables brands to accurately target consumers with incredible precision. Acxiom taps 4INFO’s proprietary, patented device matching technology to deterministically map people to a persistent ID that acts as connective tissue for people to their devices and data for audience activation in Mexico. This unique and differentiated solution leverages the proven capabilities of both Acxiom and 4INFO to create a powerful digital activation solution that enables measurement, with the ability to marry offline transaction data with online behavior to more accurately match target audiences.

“With ad spend in Mexico projected to grow to $6.17 billion by 2020, the AbiliTec and InfoBase Mexico launch and expanded partnership with 4INFO provide global marketers unmatched access to this rapidly expanding market,” said Rick Erwin, president of Acxiom’s Audience Solutions Division. “As the digital ecosystem crosses borders, more of Acxiom’s clients and partners need data and identity solutions to drive their global people-based marketing strategies, and this launch and collaboration is a strong example of Acxiom’s commitment to making that so much easier.”

This expansion into Mexico by Acxiom and 4INFO is the second of several planned partnership expansions in Latin America that enable comprehensive capabilities in people-based marketing. Further, the technology supports numerous verticals that are important to today’s multinational brand marketers, media buying agencies and media, including financial services, automotive and technology.

“By collaborating with Acxiom, we can bring our unique technology into the international market and deterministically map people to their devices and households for a wider audience reach,” says Tim Jenkins, CEO of 4INFO. “The expansion of our partnership into Mexico will help global marketers execute even more successful campaigns. In digitally mapping consumers to their mobile and other digital devices for the first time in this lucrative, mobile-savvy region, we combine online and offline data and utilize privacy-compliant linking.”
