Adstra’s mission is to disrupt and overcome the economic and technological barriers to the broader application of data to marketing. As the first ever Data Bureau, Adstra provides safe, compliant, portable and cost-efficient access to any form of marketing data, combined with any form of identity and any form of applied analytics. With the ability to transform identity from one media to another, Adstra can orchestrate consistent messaging at an individual level. Adstra gives marketers real time access to data in all mediums, with the option to operate in either Adstra’s environment or behind their company’s firewall. No other data provider bridges the gaps between PII and anonymized data with the same speed, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and frictionless portability across all media.
“We are on a mission to transform into a new kind of identity and data solutions provider. Data has become a critical ingredient in every form of marketing and advertising, and yet it is still not being used to inform most marketing and advertising decisions and the current economics do not allow for flexible use,” said Rick Erwin, CEO of Adstra. “That’s because legacy data companies are dependent on an outdated business model that makes wider data adoption cost-prohibitive for marketers and prevents them from further realizing its benefits.”

“The market has seen tremendous innovation with cloud based marketing technologies – all are places to organize information once you have it. But you still need that information connected to points of activation,” said Andy Johnson, CDO at Adstra. “Adstra’s mission is to orchestrate and harmonize that information so that these systems can perform even better at deploying it to marketing channels.
