Intro to Audience Integration Manager (AIM)

a unified container for identity and data management
integrate today

The digital advertising industry is grappling with signal loss with this transition away from traditional identifiers, third-party cookies, device IDs and IP addresses.

Publishers are already suffering from constrained resources, given their dwindling teams and having to direct their engineering teams and development cycles based on guesses where the most demand will be, exacerbating this resource scarcity.

AIM offers a self-service solution for publishers to test and deploy several identity solutions, clean rooms and customer data platforms (CDPs) simultaneously to maximize revenue in the evolving digital advertising landscape.

Keith Petri, CEO and founder of lockr, said, “The cookieless future is now and we aim to alleviate stress on publishers by providing a single solution to simplify roadmap prioritization related to identity infrastructure and first-party data strategies. Rather than having to carefully select which alternative ID, clean rooms, CDPs or cloud platforms to integrate with, AIM empowers publishers to seamlessly turn on and off multiple integrations simultaneously. By streamlining the integration process, publishers can focus on revenue generation and quality registrations. Our goal is to help publishers, regardless of their technical resources, to maximize their revenues.”

Highlights from AIM’s introduction to the market:

• Adexchanger: “Publishers that integrate the AIM code, which is a single tag, can share their first-party data with any identity partner or data endpoint (like a clean room or a CDP) on a server-to-server basis. They can also toggle any of the providers on or off. It’s a self-service setup.” read more >
• Adexchanger: “AIM empowers publishers to manage all their identity and data partnerships in one place without direct integrations or extensive engineering support. ‘We’ve shifted from only focusing on alternative identity to handling all first-party data for these publishers, including enrichment,’ said Keith Petri, CEO of lockr. Through features like lockrKeys, publishers can activate or deactivate vendors at the click of a button, while lockr handles contracts and maintenance seamlessly.” read more >
