Consumer data is information about real, identifiable individuals — their demographics, geographic location, interests and purchasing behaviour — collected directly from those individuals with their knowledge and consent. First-party consumer data is gathered by the organisation (or its trusted partner) rather than bought from a third-party broker. It is the most accurate, compliant and commercially valuable data a marketer can use.

Organically Grown, Genuinely Opted-In

Our database is grown entirely through www.catalink.com — the UK's leading consumer brochure and catalogue request service. Members actively visit the site to request catalogues, brochures and promotional material from brands they're interested in.

This means every single member has opted in without incentive — they're genuinely interested consumers, not prize-draw entrants or data-form fillers. This distinction matters enormously for conversion rates.

All members are then demographically profiled using our in-house nGage software, segmented by age, gender, affluence, interests and geographic location — giving you precision targeting that third-party data brokers simply can't match.

Unincentivised Opt-In

Members joined because they wanted to — not for a prize or reward.

Constantly updated — bounces, unsubscribes and inactives removed automatically.

12 years of in-house platform development for unmatched segmentation.

GDPR Compliant

All data collected and managed in full compliance with UK data protection law.

Own Your Consumer Data — Don't Rent It

Most brands rent access to audiences — buying space on social platforms, paying per click on search engines, or licensing contact lists they don't own and can't keep. When the contract ends, so does the audience.

By contrast, a first-party consumer database compounds in value over time. Every interaction, purchase and preference update makes each record more precise. The brands that win over the next decade will be those with a direct, permission-based relationship with their own customers — not those permanently dependent on rented reach or third-party cookies that are fast disappearing.

LMG helps you build that owned asset. Whether via lead generation campaigns that deliver opted-in enquiries directly into your CRM, or by giving you campaign access to our 4.5 million member base, the result is the same: consumer relationships you own, not lease.

Why AI Makes First-Party Data Essential

AI personalisation engines need rich, accurate first-party signals to perform — generic third-party data produces generic results.
Predictive models trained on your own opted-in customers outperform lookalike audiences built on rented cookie data by a significant margin.
As third-party cookies are phased out, brands without owned data lose targeting capability overnight; brands with it become more competitive.
LMG's nGage profiling gives you the depth of attribute data — demographics, interests, behaviour — that powers meaningful AI-driven segmentation.

Your Questions, Answered

First-party consumer data is information collected directly from individuals by the organisation (or a trusted partner) with their knowledge and consent — as opposed to third-party data purchased from a broker with no direct relationship. It is more accurate, more compliant and commercially more valuable because it reflects a genuine, permission-based relationship.

Our 4.5 million member database is built entirely through Catalink (www.catalink.com), where UK consumers actively visit to request brochures, catalogues and promotional material from brands they're interested in. Membership is unincentivised — no prize draws, no freebies — so every member is a genuinely interested consumer who has opted in of their own accord.

Yes. All data is collected, stored and used in full compliance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Members provide explicit opt-in consent, and all records are subject to real-time cleansing — bounces, unsubscribes and inactives are removed automatically so you only ever contact current, consented individuals.

Our nGage platform profiles members across four main dimensions: demographics (age, gender, household size, affluence / socio-economic group); geography (postcode, region, county, urban/rural split); retail interests (product category, mail-order behaviour, spending habits, hobbies); and travel preferences (destination, style, seasonality). Over 50 interest categories are available in total.

Yes — our lead generation service targets members from our database who match your ideal customer profile, generates opted-in enquiries on your behalf, and delivers those leads directly into your CRM. You own those leads outright: no ongoing licence fee, no third-party dependency.

Rented audiences (social ad platforms, search engine clicks, licensed lists) disappear the moment you stop paying. A first-party consumer database compounds in value: it grows more precise with every interaction, is not subject to cookie deprecation or platform policy changes, and enables AI-driven personalisation at a level third-party data simply cannot support.
