Experian

Experian is a publicly listed data, analytics and credit information company operating across consumer credit, business credit, identity, fraud, healthcare workflow and marketing data. It sells software-enabled data products, reports, scores and activation tools to lenders, enterprises, marketers, agencies, publishers, platforms, small businesses and consumers. Its revenue base combines recurring subscriptions, data licensing, usage-based data access and activation fees, with consumer freemium products used to acquire users and convert some into paid monitoring and protection services. Within advertising and marketing, Experian operates as a data and identity provider rather than a media owner or agency. Its products include an audience data marketplace, identity-driven activation and CRM enrichment tools that support targeting across display, mobile, social and CTV. Outside adtech, it monetises proprietary credit files, business reports, monitoring products and consumer credit tools, giving it a broad information-services model anchored in proprietary datasets and scoring infrastructure.
