How is household-level data different from cookie-based or digital-only data?2025-11-14T13:56:54-05:00

Unlike cookie-based or digital-only data, household-level insights give marketers a stable, privacy-safe view of real consumer behavior. It connects offline and online signals across channels, creating a consistent audience foundation that endures as digital identifiers evolve.

What is behavioral targeting?2025-11-14T13:59:06-05:00

Behavioral targeting is a marketing approach that uses consumer activity (such as browsing, purchase or engagement data) to deliver more relevant ads and content.

Using tools like Quad’s Accelerated Marketing Insights platform, we conduct consumer testing in omnichannel environments—including home, online or in-store—quickly delivering actionable data and insights to help brands go to market with confidence.

How does identity resolution work with first-party data?2025-11-14T14:02:50-05:00

The Quad data stack can leverage first-party data along with data between households, attributes and behaviors to identify your best audiences.
