The Trade Desk, a global pioneer in advertising technology, has introduced Galileo, a new approach for advertiser first-party data activation. Advertisers are seeking to activate their valuable customer data as securely as possible in order to optimize media buys across all digital media while precisely evaluating performance and business outcomes.
Multiple major organizations invest years cultivating deep connections with their most loyal clients, gaining unique and essential insights about their target audiences. Galileo enables marketers to unlock this data in a privacy-conscious manner to discover new clients with comparable characteristics. In addition, Galileo is compatible with modern cross-channel identity solutions, such as Unified ID 2.0 (UID2), which have been adopted by the bulk of The Trade Desk's data and publishing partners.
“We are at a tipping point for the open internet, The infrastructure of the internet is embracing new identity solutions built for today’s digital media consumption across different devices and apps, such as Unified ID 2.0. In doing so, they are creating the richest identity ecosystem we’ve ever experienced, and one that aims to put consumer privacy at the forefront. With Galileo, we will help the world’s major advertisers take advantage of this by unleashing the value of their most valuable customer data.”
