How to Use First-Party Data for Smarter Customer Acquisition

Why First-Party Data Is the New Growth Lever

With the loss of third-party cookies and IDFA changes, brands must rely on data they own. That means activating first-party data across every paid channel.

3 Tactics You Can Deploy Now

1. Lookalike Audiences from High-Value Segments
   Use your CRM to create audience seeds from high-LTV users.

2. Data Enrichment
   Tools like Experian, Melissa Data, Experian, or Clearbit can match first-party users to income, region, or lifestyle segments.

3. Value-Based Bidding
   Partner with data science to model expected LTV, then deploy ROAS-based bidding in Meta, Google, and Apple Search Ads.

Bonus Tip

Don’t forget to feed performance data back into your CDP or MMP to optimize audiences and attribution over time.
