Acxiom’s consumer data and insights illuminate more than 162 million U.S. households with a plethora of descriptive and prescriptive attributes. We recognize 95 percent of U.S. consumers and match them in a way that’s privacy-compliant and direct-matched.

• Self-reported data from surveys, warranty cards, registrations, newsletters, contests
• Purchased data from a large consortium of online, in store and catalogs
• Public record information for births, marriages, divorces
