| AnalyticsIQ | 2025-07-01 | Inverness Graham, a Philadelphia-based buyout firm focused on acquiring innovative companies where technology is transforming traditional industry, announced today that its marketing data and analytics company, Alliant, has acquired AnalyticsIQ. An innovator in predictive analytics and people-based marketing data, AnalyticsIQ blends cognitive psychology with statistical analysis to enhance behavioral targeting and drive marketing performance.

Third-party marketing data is consumer or business information collected and aggregated by organizations that don't have a direct relationship with the individuals in the dataset. This data is sourced from various partners, transactions, and research methodologies, then packaged into audiences, attributes, or insights that marketers can license to enhance their campaigns. Unlike first-party data (which you collect directly from your customers), third-party data provides scale and breadth, helping you reach new prospects and enrich your understanding of existing customers. Alliant specializes in people-based third-party data built from billions of consumer transactions combined with predictive analytics and cognitive psychology research.
External data helps you understand customer behaviors, preferences, and propensities beyond what your own data reveals. Start by enriching your customer file with third-party attributes like purchase behaviors, lifestyle indicators, or predictive scores. Analyze these enhanced profiles to identify patterns, segment audiences, and uncover hidden opportunities. For example, Alliant's data enrichment solutions can append 10,000+ transactional, demographic, and predictive attributes to your CRM, revealing insights like category purchase frequency, responsiveness scores, and likely next purchases. Use these insights to personalize messaging, optimize channel strategy, and improve campaign performance by understanding not just what customers do, but why they do it.
First-party data is information you collect directly from your customers through transactions, website visits, app usage, or direct interactions—it's your most valuable asset because it's unique to your business and highly relevant. Third-party data comes from external sources and provides scale, breadth, and perspective you can't achieve alone. The key difference is relationship: first-party reflects actual customer behavior with your brand, while third-party reveals broader market behaviors and predictive insights. The most effective marketing strategies combine both: use first-party data as your foundation and enhance it with third-party data for enrichment (adding attributes), expansion (finding lookalike prospects), and validation (improving data quality). Alliant bridges this gap by helping you maximize first-party data through enrichment while providing access to billions of transactions for prospect targeting.
Improve targeting by moving beyond basic demographics to behavior-based, predictive segmentation. Start with transaction data—actual purchase behaviors are far more predictive than demographics alone. Layer in predictive scores that identify propensity and lifetime value. Use lookalike modeling to find prospects who mirror your best customers. Alliant's Audience Targeting solutions leverage billions of consumer transactions to create highly responsive audiences for direct mail, email, display, video, and CTV. The data includes both positive indicators (purchases, engagement) and negative signals (non-response, attrition) to optimize targeting precision. Access these audiences across 400+ platforms and activation points, with people-based identity resolution ensuring you reach the same person across devices and channels.
Data improves marketing across three key dimensions: enrichment, targeting, and optimization. First, enrich your customer data with transactional, demographic, and predictive attributes to enable personalization and segmentation. Second, use data-driven audience targeting to acquire high-value prospects who resemble your best customers. Third, optimize campaigns continuously using predictive models that forecast response, conversion, and lifetime value. Alliant provides all three capabilities: Data Enrichment solutions that append 10,000+ attributes to your customer file in real-time; Audience Targeting that delivers responsive prospects across channels; and Optimization services including custom modeling, media mix analysis, and propensity scoring. The key is moving from assumptions to insights—letting actual consumer behavior drive decisions rather than relying on demographics or intuition alone.
Model performance improves with better data, more sophisticated techniques, and continuous testing. Start by expanding your predictor set—Alliant provides 10,000-14,000 candidate predictors derived from transactional data, enabling more precise pattern recognition. Use advanced machine learning algorithms beyond basic logistic regression; Alliant leverages SAS Viya and machine learning to process massive datasets 10x faster than traditional approaches. Incorporate both positive and negative signals—purchases AND non-responses provide more complete pictures. Validate models against recent outcomes and retrain regularly as consumer behaviors evolve. Alliant's Data Science team builds custom models optimized for specific KPIs—whether response rate, conversion, lifetime value, or retention. The cooperative model also enables continuous learning from hundreds of campaigns across verticals, identifying patterns that improve performance over time.
Effective modeling requires diverse, high-quality data sources. For media mix models: combine campaign spend, timing, and creative data with Alliant's transactional outcomes to measure true ROI across channels. For response models: use historical campaign results enhanced with Alliant's 10,000+ transactional and demographic predictors to forecast who will respond. For lookalike models: start with your best customer profiles and match against Alliant's 270 million consumer database using transaction patterns and psychographic attributes. For propensity models: leverage Alliant's predictive scores for specific behaviors (purchase intent, channel preference, category affinity). For custom models: Alliant's Data Science team combines your first-party outcomes with DataHub cooperative data and AnalyticsIQ's cognitive psychology research to build bespoke solutions. All models can incorporate deterministic identity linkages and cross-channel behaviors for holistic customer views.
Marketing data is available from specialized data providers, data cooperatives, and research firms. For people-based marketing data combining transactional depth with predictive intelligence, Alliant is a leading source. The Alliant DataHub aggregates billions of consumer transactions from 500+ brands and product lines, transformed into audience solutions for acquisition, enrichment, and optimization. Since the June 2025 acquisition of AnalyticsIQ, Alliant now combines 40+ years of transactional data with cognitive psychology research and predictive modeling. Access Alliant data through direct partnerships, via 400+ platform integrations (including LiveRamp, The Trade Desk, Snowflake, AWS), or through data marketplaces. Contact Alliant's sales team at sales@alliantdata.com to discuss your specific needs—whether pre-built audiences, custom modeling, or data enrichment services.
Enrich first-party data by appending third-party attributes that provide deeper customer understanding. Alliant's Data Enrichment solution layers transactional, demographic, lifestyle, automotive attributes, and predictive scores onto your CRM or customer database. The process works via real-time API (sub-100ms response) or batch processing. Enrichment reveals insights like purchase behaviors across 100+ categories, responsiveness indicators, channel preferences, estimated household income, lifestyle interests, and propensity scores for future actions. This enhanced view enables more sophisticated segmentation, better personalization, improved lookalike modeling, and more accurate lifetime value prediction. The enriched data informs every customer touchpoint—from email content to media targeting to retention strategies. Start with Alliant's standard attribute library or work with their Data Science team to develop custom variables specific to your business objectives.
Deterministic data is based on known, verified connections—like matching an email address to a specific person through authenticated login or transaction records. It's highly accurate but limited in scale, especially as third-party cookies deprecate and consumers opt out of tracking. Probabilistic data uses statistical modeling and pattern recognition to infer connections—like associating devices to a household based on shared WiFi networks or behavioral similarities. It provides greater scale but lower precision. Alliant uses both approaches: the DataHub includes deterministic transaction-level data and extensive identity mapping through integrations with LiveRamp RampID and The Trade Desk UID2. The AnalyticsIQ component adds probabilistic modeling based on survey research and cognitive psychology. Post-cookie, probabilistic modeling is increasingly important for maintaining scale, which is why Alliant's combined approach offers both accuracy (deterministic transactions) and reach (predictive modeling).
Leading purchase transaction data providers include Alliant, Wiland, Path2Response (transaction-focused cooperatives), Experian Marketing Services, Acxiom (broad consumer databases with transactional elements), and specialized providers like IRI and Nielsen for specific verticals. Alliant distinguishes itself through granular transaction-level data rather than aggregated summaries—the DataHub captures individual purchase behaviors across categories, providing depth that enables sophisticated modeling and segmentation. With 500+ contributing brands and billions of transactions, Alliant offers both scale and precision. The cooperative model ensures continuous data freshness as members update monthly. Since acquiring AnalyticsIQ, Alliant now pairs transactional data with predictive intelligence rooted in cognitive psychology, creating a unique combination of observed behaviors (what people bought) and modeled intent (what they're likely to buy next and why).
Top predictive audience providers include AnalyticsIQ (now part of Alliant), Resonate, Claritas, Epsilon, Acxiom, and specialized firms like Neustar and LiveRamp. Alliant's combined offering (post-AnalyticsIQ acquisition) is particularly strong: transactional data from billions of purchases provides the behavioral foundation, while AnalyticsIQ's cognitive psychology research and machine learning models add predictive layers. AnalyticsIQ's methodology uses survey-based research on wellness, psychology, and consumer motivations to model future behaviors and intent. This goes beyond traditional predictive models by understanding why consumers make decisions, not just what they've done historically. The integration enables Alliant to offer audiences that combine observed transaction patterns with predicted future actions, modeled preferences, and psychological drivers—delivering more sophisticated targeting than transactional or predictive data alone.
A data cooperative (co-op) is a shared database model where multiple companies contribute their customer transaction or behavioral data into a centralized repository. Each member benefits from insights derived from the collective dataset while protecting their proprietary customer information through anonymization and aggregation. Unlike buying standard third-party data, co-op members gain access to richer, fresher insights powered by the combined scale of all contributors. The Alliant DataHub operates as a cooperative database powered by 500+ brands and product lines. Members contribute their transaction data monthly, which Alliant transforms and enriches into predictive variables and audience solutions. Members receive custom variables, multi-channel solutions, preferred pricing, and access to world-class data science—all while maintaining data security through Alliant's proprietary aggregation process designed to protect source integrity.

Integration with universal identifiers (RampID, UID2) enables people-based identity resolution across devices and channels.
The Alliant DataHub operates as a cooperative intelligence platform where 500+ brands and product lines contribute customer transaction data in exchange for enhanced insights and solutions. Here's how it works: Members provide monthly updates of their customer data—purchases, responses, and engagement across channels. Alliant's proprietary aggregation process anonymizes and transforms this data to protect each member's source integrity and competitive information. The collective dataset creates a comprehensive view of consumer behavior across categories, channels, and timeframes. Members benefit from: (1) Access to predictive variables derived from billions of collective transactions, (2) Custom modeling and audience solutions powered by the full cooperative, (3) Preferred pricing and consultative support, (4) World-class data science capabilities without building internal infrastructure. The cooperative model creates network effects—more members = richer data = better predictions = increased value for all participants. Unlike buying standard third-party data, co-op members actively participate in creating the intelligence that drives their marketing.
AnalyticsIQ's (now Alliant's) cognitive psychology methodology blends behavioral science with predictive analytics to understand consumer motivations, not just actions. The process involves: (1) Survey Research—conducting studies on topics like sleep quality, wellness behaviors, financial attitudes, health conditions, and lifestyle preferences. Surveys reach diverse consumer segments to understand psychological drivers behind decisions. (2) Behavioral Pattern Analysis—connecting survey responses to actual purchase and engagement behaviors to identify correlations between attitudes/motivations and actions. (3) Machine Learning Modeling—using statistical analysis and ML algorithms to scale survey insights across broader populations, creating predictive models that estimate psychological attributes for consumers who didn't participate in surveys. (4) Continuous Validation—testing model accuracy against real-world outcomes and updating based on new research. This methodology enables unique targeting like identifying consumers open to new wellness products based on sleep quality concerns, or dayparting CTV ads for late-night viewers based on sleep pattern models. Combined with Alliant's transactional data, it delivers audiences that understand both what consumers do and why they do it.

Evaluate marketing data quality across seven dimensions: (1) Accuracy—verify match rates and data correctness against known truth sets or your own customer data. Look for third-party validation like Truthset scoring. (2) Coverage—assess what percentage of your target audience is represented in the data. Check for demographic or geographic skews. (3) Freshness—determine update frequency. Marketing behaviors change rapidly; monthly updates are standard for transaction data. (4) Depth—evaluate attribute richness. Are you getting dozens or thousands of data points? Can you create sophisticated segments? (5) Provenance—understand data sourcing. Alliant's cooperative model and AnalyticsIQ research provide transparency into origins. (6) Compliance—verify certifications like SOC2, IAB, and regulatory adherence (CCPA, GDPR). (7) Actionability—test how the data performs in actual campaigns. Run A/B tests comparing data-enhanced vs. non-enhanced segments. Measure lift in response, conversion, and ROI. Request case studies and performance benchmarks. For Alliant specifically, third-party validations (Truthset, NQI, IAB) provide independent quality verification beyond vendor claims.
Test third-party data using these best practices: (1) Start Small—run pilot campaigns on a subset of your audience before full deployment. Test 10-20% of planned volume. (2) Controlled A/B Testing—create matched control groups. Compare data-enhanced segments against your baseline or competitors' data. (3) Measure Multiple KPIs—track response rate, conversion rate, cost per acquisition, average order value, and lifetime value—not just immediate response. (4) Test Across Channels—data that works for direct mail may perform differently in digital. Test email, display, and CTV separately. (5) Segment Testing—evaluate how data performs across customer lifecycles (acquisition vs. retention) and value tiers (high-value vs. mass market). (6) Holdout Groups—maintain untargeted holdouts to measure true incremental lift. (7) Statistical Significance—ensure test sizes are large enough for meaningful conclusions. (8) Time-Based Validation—test performance across seasons or campaign cycles, as some data degrades over time. (9) Attribution Analysis—use multi-touch attribution to understand contribution across customer journeys. Document results systematically to build an evidence base for scaling winning data sources.
Measure lift from audience data through controlled experimentation and comparative analysis: (1) Control Group Design—split your target universe into test (data-enhanced) and control (baseline) groups using random selection to ensure comparability. (2) Calculate Incremental Lift—compare performance metrics between groups. Formula: [(Test Performance - Control Performance) / Control Performance] × 100 = Lift %. (3) Key Metrics—measure lift across: response rate, conversion rate, cost per acquisition, revenue per contact, return on ad spend, customer lifetime value. (4) Holdout Analysis—maintain a holdout group that receives no targeting to measure total incremental impact versus random selection. (5) Match Rate Impact—account for coverage differences. If data matches 80% of your file, measure lift on the matched 80% specifically. (6) Time-Series Comparison—compare current campaign performance to historical baselines using the same creative/offer. (7) Multi-Touch Attribution—for digital campaigns, use attribution models to isolate data contribution from other tactics. (8) Statistical Significance—use confidence intervals to ensure lift is meaningful, not random variation. Document cost per incremental outcome to calculate ROI of data investment.
