MRI-Simmons and TransUnion Expand Access to Premium Audience Segments in the TruAudience® Data Marketplace

MRI-Simmons, a leading provider of consumer research and analytics, has announced an expansion of its partnership with TransUnion, a global data and identity solutions provider. This strategic collaboration enhances marketers' ability to access high-quality, research-driven audience segments across the streaming and omnichannel ecosystem through the TruAudience® Data Marketplace.

The expanded relationship enables advertisers, agencies, and publishers to tap into a broader taxonomy of premium audience segments, which are modeled using insights derived from MRI-Simmons' industry-leading consumer research. These segments encompass a wide range of psychographic profiles, lifestyle and leisure behaviors, brand preferences, and media consumption habits. Drawn from one of the most comprehensive and representative studies of American consumers, these audience segments provide a robust foundation for audience planning and analysis across the full omnichannel ecosystem.

By leveraging the expanded relationship, marketers can better understand high-value consumer groups and tailor their strategies to meet the evolving needs of their target audiences. The TruAudience® Data Marketplace offers an extensive library of syndicated audience segments, allowing brands to select from thousands of pre-defined segments that align with their marketing objectives.

In addition to the extensive library of syndicated segments, brands can also collaborate with MRI-Simmons to design custom audience definitions informed by specific objectives and research-driven insights. These audience definitions can then be brought to life through TransUnion's TruAudience® platform, enabling flexible activation across channels. This level of customization ensures that marketers can reach their intended audiences with precision and efficiency.

This expansion gives marketers access to high-quality consumer insights within a marketplace built for scale, flexibility, and omnichannel activation."
