GfK and Eyeota announce partnership

GfK purchasing power data to enhance Eyeota’s online audience targeting services

Eyeota – the global leader for local audience data – and GfK, one of the world’s leading market research organizations, have formed a partnership.

GfK’s regional purchasing power data will be available to advertisers in the United Kingdom and Europe, allowing them to tailor their online advertising to specific income target groups by region.

With this partnership, Eyeota offers a new solution for the growing demand of internationally consistent target group data for online advertising.  Eyeota actively protects consumers’ privacy by providing only anonymous user profile data linked with separate, region-based statistical target group data. With Eyeota’s data digitalization capability, media buyers can access digital audience information the same way they do for offline media.

The partnership consolidates several GfK datasets in one single source, enabling advertisers to tailor their pan-European campaigns on a regional basis for their online target audiences.

GfK Purchasing Power data is a recognized benchmark for assessing consumer potential. Purchasing power indicates the level of available income based on a population’s place of residence. The GfK indicator comprises statistical information at detailed regional levels such as postal codes.

Niko Waesche, GfK’s Global Industry Head of Media and Entertainment, comments: “Our data provides a consistent online marketing approach across Europe and the Eyeota-GfK partnership will look to create further segments in the programmatic space.”

To further support GfK’s growth in this area, Alessandro De Zanche (former Head of Audience and Ad systems at News UK) joins GfK as Global Product Lead Programmatic. Niko Waesche comments:  “Alessandro’s role will be to identify programmatic opportunities for GfK, build partnerships with leaders in adtech such as Eyeota and grow our business.”

Kevin Tan, CEO of Eyeota, adds: “Introducing GfK’s recognized indicators for regional target group characteristics in our service offerings will enable media buyers to feel more confident about shifting their budget to online media, and further promote the data-driven space worldwide. We are excited to establish our relationship with GfK, so advertisers can reach their target audiences more effectively.”
