CEO Perspective

Now the identity and data layer of Omni, Omnicom's marketing intelligence platform, Real ID delivers the industry's most trusted data with a 2.6 billion global audience. This enables agencies and brands to unify first-, second-, and third-party data into a single foundation that powers faster activation, sharper personalization, and measurable business outcomes. The same foundation underpins the platform's agentic AI capabilities, ensuring intelligent agents operate on accurate data at global scale.

"As the concept of neutrality comes under fire, Acxiom Real ID's promise of transparency and data ownership gives brands an alternative to black box vendors," said Jarrod Martin, CEO of Acxiom. "Connected data and identity are enterprise assets that should be owned and governed by the brand. We empower brands to take control of their agentic future."

Key Capabilities

Acxiom's Real ID is advancing a more connected ecosystem across online and offline data by embedding identity and interoperability directly into leading marketing and cloud platforms.

Natively integrated identity: With Real ID natively available in Acxiom partners' platforms, brands can now keep valuable customer data in their own environment for identity management, activation, measurement, or data collaboration. With a glass box approach, brands have more transparency and control. The Real ID graph is accessible to a brand directly without data movement.

Real ID digital recognition: Powered by Real ID and Acxiom's digital identity graph, digital recognition connects digital signals to its proven offline identity assets for greater precision and scale. Unlike other solutions built only for advertising use cases, this solution delivers customer recognition, rich intelligence, and open omnichannel orchestration. Clients using digital recognition achieved a 10% increase in website conversion rates, up to 50% higher recognition rates for email retargeting, and 57% lower cost of acquisition.

Chief Product and Technology Innovation Officer Perspective

"Acxiom has invested in making Real ID ubiquitous across any ecosystem a brand chooses," said Keith Camoosa, Chief Product and Technology Innovation Officer at Acxiom. "We're turning identity into a universal layer that powers activation, collaboration, and measurement within the tools and environments brands already use."
