Oracle Advertising, formerly Datalogix, is a cloud-based consumer data collection, activation, and measurement platform for use by digital advertisers. Datalogix was a consumer data collection company based in Westminster, Colorado[1][2] that provided offline consumer spending data to marketers.[3] In December 2014, Oracle signed an agreement to acquire Datalogix. After the acquisition, Datalogix's name changed to Oracle Data Cloud,[4][5][6] which later became Oracle Advertising.[7][8] Oracle Advertising is part of the Oracle Advertising and Customer Experience (CX) application suite.
This collected data, which includes purchase data from stores, credit cards, and loyalty cards, helps marketing teams determine their ad campaigns' effectiveness and those that will potentially increase profits,[9] with Datalogix clients including retail stores, grocers, travel agencies, PepsiCo, Ford, and the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group.[10] After consumer spending behaviors are measured, the information is sold to advertising companies and publishers, such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, Snapchat, and Pinterest.[11][5][4] Advertisers then use the information obtained to tailor online ads and reach new or existing customers. In turn, publishers use the data to determine the amount of profit advertisers earn and to convince them to purchase more ads that will feature on their websites.[12] Advertisers and publishers have used Datalogix to help increase profits, as the use of digital media continues to expand.
In 2017, Oracle also acquired Moat, an ad measurement company, which also became part of Oracle Data Cloud, now Oracle Advertising. The Moat acquisition added measurement and analytics capabilities to allow advertisers to track and measure media, as well as the performance of interactions with online ads.[13]
BlueKai, acquired by Oracle in 2014, is a cloud-based data collection platform that uses website cookies to collect online tracking data. The tracking data is then used by marketers to target users with ads specific to their interests, behavior patterns, or demographics. BlueKai is part of Oracle Marketing.[14]
In June 2024, Oracle announced it would stop supporting its advertising products on September 30 2024.[15][16]
