3.4 Marketing contact
We help organisations communicate with new prospects, their existing customers or citizens across several channels:
Postal marketing. We provide appropriately permissioned names and postal addresses to help organisations find new people who may be interested in their products or services. These contact details are not sourced from your credit report, but from third party partners to whom you have given permission to share these details with organisations like Experian. We can also use our segmentations and models to help clients choose the most relevant people for them to talk to. To understand whether your details are on our current marketing file, and if so from where we obtained the data, click on the button below:

Email marketing. We do not provide lists of prospect email addresses directly to our clients. We only handle prospect email addresses from our data partners so we can attach the models or segments we have created to an email address to create groups of individuals who may be interested in a particular offer or service. This means that where you have given your consent for these partners to send out marketing emails to you, the emails you receive are more likely to be about the products or services you'll be interested in hearing about. Our clients might also send us their own customers' emails so that we can add our models and segments to that data to help our clients communicate with you more relevantly.
Digital marketing. We work with organisations to inform relevant advertising through websites, apps, social media and video content. We don't serve any ads to you ourselves — the publisher, for example a website or social media app, will do this based on the marketing permissions you have given them. Our role is to provide information to our clients to help them serve ads that you're more likely to be interested in.
