FAQs 

What is InfoBase® Geo?

InfoBase Geo is Acxiom’s geographical data product that provides postcode and postcode sector-level insights into UK consumers and households. It combines demographic, lifestyle, and real purchase data to help brands plan, analyse, and activate marketing in a privacy-safe way. 

How is InfoBase Geo different from other geographic data products?

Unlike generic census-based datasets, InfoBase Geo is built from Acxiom’s comprehensive InfoBase® consumer insight data and Affinity Solutions’ real transaction data. This provides predictive, current, and anonymised insights that outperform traditional models.

Yes. InfoBase Geo integrates seamlessly with InfoBase®, Personicx®, and InfoBase® Purchase Transactions for deeper segmentation, targeting, and audience activation.
