January’s idfree insider is out with a milestone worth marking.


We’re starting the year with a reminder worth carrying into every campaign, every decision, every test:


The biggest mistake we make in life is thinking we have time.

The January Issue


Privacy-first targeting, now live in Hawk DSP

We’re proud to share that GDR’s geo-demographic audience data is now integrated into Azerion’s Hawk DSP, expanding privacy-first targeting across Europe.


This isn’t a “nice to meet you” partnership. It’s the next step in a collaboration already tested in live campaigns, proving what privacy-first targeting can look like at scale.


Privacy-first doesn’t mean performance-light

When audience strategy is built on:

  • robust geo-signals

  • real consumer patterns

  • transparent methodologies

  • scalable activation


...you don’t lose performance. You lose noise.


And you gain a more durable foundation for the next decade of advertising.


GDR segments are now available within Hawk DSP across

Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.


The edge isn’t AI. It’s understanding the problem

Most AI marketing conversations still start with content: ads, emails, posts, variations at scale.


That’s the visible layer. And the least interesting one!


The real advantage is built upstream: in how audiences are defined, how signals are evaluated, and how performance is measured.


Because AI doesn’t fix fuzzy thinking. It amplifies it.


The teams that win in 2026 won’t be the ones with the most AI tools.

They’ll be the ones who can separate noise from insight. Fast.


Open for Business

This idfree insider edition has a simple statement: We don’t have time to build performance on fragile infrastructure.


So we’ll keep sharing the insights, frameworks, and real-world patterns shaping privacy-first performance

  • without hype

  • without shortcuts

  • without compromising trust

Because in a world full of footprints, the real value lies in seeing the patterns.
