Privacy-First Audience Insights: Leveraging AWS Clean Rooms and PS360 for Secure, Compliant Marketing

In today’s digital-first landscape, marketing and IT leaders face a dual imperative: deliver hyper-personalized, high-impact campaigns while upholding the highest standards of data privacy and regulatory compliance. As privacy regulations tighten and consumer trust becomes paramount, the ability to extract actionable audience insights—without exposing sensitive data—has become a defining competitive advantage. Publicis Sapient, in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), is at the forefront of this transformation, empowering organizations to unlock deep audience understanding and campaign optimization through privacy-first data collaboration.
