“Wunderkind’s Identity solution has always been our secret sauce, leveraging AI and machine learning to determine who visitors are, and their historical behaviors and buying habits”

Wunderkind Identity – part of the engine that powers the Autonomous Marketing Platform – is created for marketers, providing the most comprehensive network of owned first-party data to recognize and understand consumer behavior. Retailers like Perry Ellis, Uniqlo, HelloFresh, and e.l.f. Cosmetics are using Wunderkind Identity as a more powerful alternative to third-party cookie technology.

Wunderkind’s Identity is built upon a robust foundation of first-party insights such as purchase history, website activity, and other behavioral data, to give retailers and other brands an alternative to tracking cookies. This advanced system recognizes over 9 billion consumer devices and more than 1 billion consumer profiles each year, making it an invaluable tool for marketers seeking comprehensive identity solutions.

• Server-Side Tracking: Extends visitor recognition across multiple visits, improving onsite experiences through essential first-party cookies and ensuring a seamless customer journey across channels.

• Cross-Site and Device Identification: Wunderkind leverages probabilistic and deterministic methods to identify traffic across sites and devices down to an email address or phone number in customer databases.

• Identity Enrichment Ecosystem: Enables advertisers to use identity frameworks like LiveRamp and UID2 for scalable, cookieless targeting in programmatic ads, while publishers can convert unknown visitors into addressable audiences, boosting CPMs.

• Privacy Compliance: With 78% of marketers struggling to collect first-party data due to privacy concerns, Wunderkind’s Identity offers a compliant solution, adhering to GDPR and CCPA to help brands collect data responsibly.

Their robust identity graph and comprehensive network allow us to recognize consumers, trigger relevant messages, and drive greater customer experiences and revenue lifts for our brand.”
