Third-Party Data
Third-party data refers to information collected and aggregated by an external organization that is not directly connected to the user. This data is typically gathered from various sources, such as websites, social media platforms, and public records, and is sold or shared with other companies to enhance marketing strategies, audience targeting, and business insights.
What is Third-Party Data?
Third-party data comprises information aggregated by external organizations unconnected to your customers, sourced from websites, social platforms, apps, and public records, then standardized and licensed for downstream use. For B2B marketers, it expands audience reach, enriches firmographic and technographic profiles, improves propensity modeling, and calibrates media and ABM activation. When vetted for consent, quality, and recency, it supplements first- and second-party signals to refine segmentation, personalize creative, and optimize spend. Evaluate providers’ methodologies, taxonomy alignment, and compliance posture, and insist on transparent provenance and measurable lift. Properly integrated, third-party datasets elevate insight generation, pipeline velocity, and revenue efficiency across channels.
Example
As a marketer, you might buy third-party data from a data provider that collects information on consumers’ online shopping habits. Using this data, you can target ads for your new product to people who have shown interest in similar items on other websites, even if they have never visited your site before.
RMIQ helps brands turn fragmented third-party retail media data into a single, actionable source of truth, enabling faster decisions and stronger performance across Walmart, Instacart, Amazon, Sprouts, Thrive Market, Target, Uber, and many additional networks. By unifying disparate dashboards, taxonomies, and reporting into one interface, the platform standardizes third-party signals at the SKU and keyword level so revenue, spend, bids, and audiences can be compared, forecast, and optimized consistently. Multi-agent AI automates the heavy lifting: specialized agents ingest cross-network inputs, learn patterns in real time, and coordinate tasks such as bid adjustment, budget allocation, A/B testing orchestration, and strategy refinement to maximize return on ad spend. This approach eliminates manual toggling between tools, reduces latency in decision cycles, and drives measurable impact, with average ROAS gains exceeding 50% and up to five dollars in incremental sales for every dollar invested. Broad retail media coverage—reaching up to 85% of the U.S. retail audience—ensures third-party reach and frequency can be managed holistically, while real-time bidding and adaptive optimization deliver precision at scale.
