The results, as reported by Forrester Consulting across leading automotive, financial services, telecommunications, and retail clients using Neustar Unified Analytics, include:

• 30% increase in incremental revenue
• 130% increase in return on ad spend (ROAS)
• 10X return on investment (ROI)
• Improved top-of-funnel brand building
• Budget savings from improved media partnerships
• Gains in internal team productivity

A leading global retailer reported, “[After using Neustar Unified Analytics], I now think more about experiences versus thinking about campaigns. I want to tailor my messages on an experience based on need rather than serving a message based on a brief. The focus has shifted from the perspective and lens of the marketer to focusing on the needs of the customer.”

A leading telecommunications brand said, “Neustar Unified Analytics is like a compass. You still must walk to your destination, but Neustar instantly shows the best way to get there. It does require partnership with agencies and the internal marketing team to make sure that all the right decisions are being made based on what the data tells us. But the solution is the key here, and it will improve our ROI tremendously.”

A leading automotive OEM reported, “I had always suspected that we were overspending. Once we started using Neustar, we saw immediately that we hit the same customers 200 to 300 times in a 10-day period. Fifteen percent of our impressions were shared multiple times to the same customer. We shifted our dollars around, saved a lot of money, and there was no deterioration in performance. In fact, performance went up, and we got a lot of credibility as a team.”

The Neustar Optimizer launch follows Neustar’s recent marketing measurement diagnostic, the Fabrick Impact Assessment, introduced last month. The Fabrick Impact Assessment is a new process to help marketers both diagnose and mitigate the impact of third-party cookie depreciation and device ID loss across their media and measurement investments.
