Delta Fiber Netherlands, the leading fast fiber internet provider in the Netherlands, has the ambition to grow its user base from 1 million to 2 million connections by 2025. Digital marketing is a key part of the company’s customer acquisition strategy driving an average 21% of new website users per month.
The challenge
Changes in data privacy legislations, Apple’s changes to IDFA, Safari and Firefox blocking third party cookies, and increasing consumer concerns about data privacy means that marketers need to adopt a privacy-first, first-party data strategy in order to maintain performance of digital advertising campaigns.
Delta Fiber Netherlands identified a need to use their first-party data in a privacy-safe way to improve the performance of prospecting and retargeting activity while being able to exclude existing clients from certain campaigns.
Solution
First-party data from Delta Fiber Netherlands CRM system was integrated into the digitalAudience platform, hashed, and then matched with millions of digitalAudience’s known user profiles.
This anonymous, compliant, privacy-safe process ensured that Delta Fiber’s customer data was fully protected and enabled the team to share this data with Google Customer Match, Adform, publishers, and Meta in order to increase match rates and increase digital advertising campaign performance.
Delta Fiber’s matched first-party audience data was used to:
Retarget audiences
Exclude existing clients from specific campaigns
