The launch of AURAR addresses the fundamental shifts driven by AI innovations, privacy considerations, and data gravity, reshaping the marketing technology landscape.

Addressing Critical Marketing Challenges The launch of AURAR comes at a pivotal time when marketers face increasing pressure to deliver measurable ROI while navigating complex data privacy requirements and fragmented technology stacks.

Revolutionary Three-Pillar Approach AURAR's innovative architecture is built on three core principles that differentiate it from existing solutions in the market: 1. Seamless Integration: Pre-defined lookalike templates eliminate the need for complex manual configurations, enabling marketers to launch campaigns with unprecedented speed. 2. Security-First Design: All operations are executed with the marketer's Snowflake account when the AlikeAudience Snowflake Native App is downloaded/deployed. 3. Speed and Scale: The platform delivers up to hourly refreshed lookalike audiences, enabling real-time campaign optimization and superior performance outcomes. Transforming Campaign Performance AURAR demonstrates a significant impact on marketing performance. In one CPG brand use case, the solution enabled a 2X+ scale expansion of lookalike audiences while reducing turnaround time from 3-7 days to less than 24 hours. The streamlined workflow allowed agencies to optimize in-flight campaigns with minimal manual intervention, resulting in substantially improved return on advertising spend. With the enablement of secure, real-time Lookalike models with the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, AURAR empowers marketers to unlock the full potential of their first-party data while maintaining high standards of privacy and governance," said David Wells, Industry Principal for Media, Entertainment & Advertising at Snowflake.
