The custom built CRM data onboarding portal allows advertisers to seamlessly upload data in a privacy compliant manner to Pandora at scale. This self-service model is a first of its kind for Pandora. Powered by the Neustar authoritative OneID® system, Pandora’s onboarding portal allows advertisers to use valuable, anonymized offline data to find known customers on the music streaming service.

“Pandora is a platform where brands have been able to identify, expand and engage their known audiences through targeting solutions that can be activated with their first-party data for some time,” said Dave Smith, Vice President of Monetization and Yield Management at Pandora. “Our 100 percent logged-in user base allows us the unique ability to accurately deliver an advertiser’s matched audience at scale in an anonymized manner, on any media type, and across any platform. In partnering with Neustar to build this custom onboarding portal, we can offer advertisers a new, effortless way to reach their customers on Pandora.”
