[Get a Demo](https://tealium.com/lp/demo-request/) [Launch a Self-Guided Demo](https://tealium.com/tech-demos/) ## Trusted by 850+ Enterprise Customers. ### Powering cloud-native activation for leaders in gaming, healthcare, and telecom. ### Your Warehouse Is Full of Customer Data. Your Activation Path Is Not. #### The ideal segments already sit in Snowflake and Databricks. Marketing opens another ticket to recreate them. Paid media rebuilds the audience in a separate tool. Service never sees any of it. Every copy is another governance liability and another week lost. ### Cloud Activations, Built for the Warehouse You Already Have #### Tealium activates modeled customer data directly from your cloud warehouse, moves trusted data in and out of your cloud and business systems, applies custom logic where marketplace connectors stop, and exposes the exact context your channels and AI agents need through a low-latency API. No duplication. No second source of truth. No rebuild of the architecture you already run. ## Activate From Your Cloud [Build Segments on Data Already in Your Warehouse Point Tealium at Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Redshift and define audiences visually on the tables your team already models. See how data connectors work](https://docs.tealium.com/server-side/cloudstream/about/#data-sources) [Activate Without a Second Copy Send warehouse audiences to paid, CRM, email, and personalization channels while the master data set stays in the warehouse. Build audiences inside Snowflake](https://tealium.com/audience-discovery-app-snowflake/) ### Auto-Map Your Warehouse Schema Tealium reads your tables and columns directly so analysts, marketers, and segment builders work from the same definitions. ### Skip the SQL Bottleneck Marketing builds audiences in a visual canvas instead of needing the data team to build new queries every campaign. ## Connect Data Everywhere ### Move Trusted Data In and Out of the Cloud Stream consented events into your warehouse and push cloud-derived insights back into marketing, analytics, and operational systems. ### Reach 1,300+ Destinations Pre-built connectors span analytics, advertising, CRM, personalization, cloud, and legacy systems, with no custom middleware to maintain. ### Keep the Warehouse as the Source of Truth Tealium plugs into the architecture you run today and leaves governance, storage, and lineage where your data team already wants them. ## Apply Logic & Custom Actions ### Transform Data Without Custom Infrastructure Write serverless functions to reshape records, calculate attributes, and enrich events without spinning up pipelines or containers. ### Hit Custom Destinations the Marketplace Misses Call any API, endpoint, or internal service from a function so activation reaches systems no packaged connector covers. ### Look Up External Data Inline Pull from product catalogs, loyalty systems, or third-party APIs during activation so records arrive already enriched. ## Deliver Context In Real-Time ### Expose Warehouse Data as a Personalization API Pair cloud activation with Context API to deliver warehouse-modeled audiences through a low-latency endpoint, without building your own microservice. ### Feed AI Agents Governed Customer Context Give LLMs and MCP-compatible agents access to live customer context through the same endpoint your websites and apps already call. ## How Cloud Activations Work ## Tealium partner table example | Partner | Category | Integration type | Region | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Salesforce | CRM | EventStream + AudienceStream | Global | Active | | Google Ads | Advertising | EventStream | Global | Active | | Adobe Analytics | Analytics | Tag Marketplace | NA / EMEA | Pending | | Braze | Marketing Cloud | AudienceStream | Global | Active | | Snowflake | Data Warehouse | Data Supply Chain | NA / APAC | Inactive | ## What You Get, Role by Role ### Ship Audiences Without a Ticket Build segments visually on warehouse tables and activate across paid, owned, and earned channels without waiting on a SQL sprint. ### Keep the Warehouse as the Source of Truth Activate directly from modeled data with no new storage, no duplicate logic, and no extra governance surface. ### No-Copy Activation, Vendor-Neutral Connectors Function-based extensibility covers the edges marketplace connectors miss. Your architecture stays composable. ### Low-Latency Context for Every Surface Websites, apps, AI agents, and service tools pull the same warehouse-backed context through one managed API. ## One Platform.
