BRANDM4TCH: LIVE
Watch our latest digital webinar, BRANDM4TCH LIVE, on demand below...
Its been 6 months since we launched our new market-leading data matching product, Brandm4tch. As a reminder, this unique offering allows advertisers to match their own first party data with All 4's 24 million registered users to create their own bespoke custom audience segments - all in a cookieless and GDPR compliant way!
Over the last few months we've been busy working with a number of launch partners to run the first campaigns and with MTM to test the product’s effectiveness.
The first official results are in, and they’re extremely impressive - so we decided to reveal them in this special webinar broadcast.
In it, we heard from the brand partners themselves, the research experts MTM and our tech partners InfoSum and Mediarithmics!

BRANDM4TCH
Brandmatch is our new ‘Bring Your Own Data’ product which enables advertisers for the first time to use their own 1st party customer data to identify and match individuals within our 24m All 4 users. The product is powered by two technical integrations:
1. Infosum act as our clean room where the data match takes place in a cookieless environment.
2. Mediarithmics is our advanced data platform, which is used to add modelling to the matched segments in order to add scale.
The data match process is extremely quick (just mins) with no data being shared with Channel 4,meaning there is no chance of data leakage.
Use Cases:
1. Reach lapsed customers. Customers that haven’t engaged for 6 months could be targeted with specific messaging.
2. Upselling products. Customers of product A targeted with product B.
3. Reach new customers: Reach prospective customers by removing existing customers.
APPROVED
In addition to our first party data segments we offer advertisers the opportunity to buy pre-defined data segments from approved data vendors. We have developed an integration with Acxiom which offers advertisers over 130 audiences segments covering areas such as hobbies, travel, finance, property, media consumption and many more.
Key Segments: Parents of Children aged 0-4 years old, Motorists, Quality Newspaper Readers, Interested in Theatre, Household interest in Pets, USA Travellers, Homeowners
ALL 4 BESPOKE
Enables advertisers to layer All 4 data sets on top of each other to build bespoke segments specific for advertiser’s campaign objectives. An example of this might be for a technology business to only target
individuals that have viewed on mobile devices or a take away business who’d like to target people who view drama on connected TV’s after 8pm.
Segmentation includes time of day, content viewed, demographic, location, interest or device.

Our award winning Engage Suite offers advertisers the opportunity to build a number of creative video formats that stand out to viewers and offer highly sophisticated interactive or data enabled functionality.

2. Interactive enables advertisers to build formats that viewers can interact with within the player e.g. click to buy or click to view different branded content.
3. Dynamic enables advertisers to dynamically alter creative using different data points e.g. time of day, demo, location or the weather.
4. Amplify enables advertisers to use their video assets in tandem with a dynamic frame to deliver dynamic messaging across multiple platforms
