LiveRamp has expanded its partnership with Unity to bring its RampID identifier to Unity Exchange, enabling marketers to use identity-based buying strategies across Unity's mobile ecosystem of 2.9 billion monthly active devices globally. The partnership allows brands, agencies and platforms to apply the same identity-driven marketing strategies in mobile gaming as they use in other channels, moving beyond traditional mobile identifiers. By integrating RampID across Unity Exchange, marketers can leverage first-party data to reach target audiences within gaming environments. The collaboration addresses a key challenge for marketers seeking seamless omnichannel activation. Unity's platform includes 256 million monthly active devices in the US alone, making it a significant channel for identity-based marketing at scale.
LiveRamp, which provides technology for secure customer data sharing whilst maintaining privacy compliance, reported Q4 revenues of $212.2 million, up 8.6% year-on-year and in line with analysts' expectations. However, both quarterly and full-year revenue guidance slightly missed expectations. The company added eight enterprise customers paying over $1 million annually, bringing its total to 140. LiveRamp achieved the highest full-year guidance raise amongst advertising software peers tracked. The stock has risen 32.5% since reporting and currently trades at $29.71. Across the advertising software sector, six tracked companies reported satisfactory Q4 results, with revenues beating consensus estimates by 1.9%. Share prices rose 18.3% on average following earnings announcements. PubMatic delivered the strongest performance, whilst The Trade Desk was the weakest.
Chalice AI and LiveRamp introduce Growth Scored Audiences for LiveRamp customers. Chalice growth scores power outcome driven audiences in LiveRamp. By Purpose March 6, 2026 Chalice AI, the platform-independent AI media decisioning company, announced a strategic partnership with LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP), the leading data collaboration partner, making Chalice Growth Scored Audiences available directly within LiveRamp's ecosystem. LiveRamp customers can now activate audiences powered by Growth Scores derived from individualized predictive scoring across all US households using fine-grained first-party data signals. Rather than replicating trait-based segments, Chalice assigns a growth score to each household based on its predicted impact against a brand's specific business outcome. These scores can then be activated within LiveRamp's ecosystem. Chalice continuously trains models on brand-controlled data. These individualized growth scores dynamically adjust as performance data evolves, allowing marketers to refine targeting and improve efficiency in real time. The result is a shift from similarity-based modeling toward answer-native intelligence that prioritizes the households most likely to drive measurable growth across platforms, including Meta, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and the open internet. LiveRamp customers can deploy score-powered audiences in days, accelerating time to value while maintaining strong privacy standards. By combining LiveRamp's identity and collaboration infrastructure with Chalice's individualized growth modeling, brands can operationalize predictive value at scale, without rebuilding their data architecture. This collaboration was spotlighted at LiveRamp's RampUp conference, where Chalice executives spoke across both the Imagine and Build tracks. CEO Adam Heimlich joined Sam White of LiveRamp to discuss media optimization in an AI-enabled world, while COO Ali Manning participated in a panel focused on turning first-party data into production-ready workflows. "Lookalike audiences were built to find similarity," said Adam Heimlich, CEO of Chalice AI. "Growth scores are built to predict business impact. By assigning individualized growth scores instead of replicating segments, marketers can activate their data against the outcomes that actually drive value. Across early deployments, score-powered audiences have delivered approximately 20 percent lift across core performance KPIs, with even greater gains when optimizing toward high-value growth objectives." "Through the scale and power of our network, LiveRamp gives marketers a connective edge, connecting them with cutting-edge AI tools and AI platform leaders like Chalice to unlock new levels of audience precision and activation performance," said Daniella Harkins, SVP, Product GTM at LiveRamp. "Chalice's Growth Scored Audiences will help LiveRamp customers move beyond static segmentation and activate data with greater precision and performance." With LiveRamp's identity infrastructure and Chalice's Growth Scores working together, brands can move beyond segmentation and activate individualized, outcome-driven audiences built to maximize measurable business impact.

Predactiv has launched an integration with LiveRamp enabling brands to convert personally identifiable information into privacy-safe identifiers for use within The Predactiv Data Platform. The capability allows organisations using offline data such as names, addresses and emails to securely onboard and translate PII into identifiers including hashed email addresses and mobile advertising IDs. The integration expands the types of data that can be used within Predactiv's ecosystem, enabling clients to build modelled audiences and activate first-party customer data whilst maintaining privacy compliance. Data providers and retailers can convert PII assets into revenue-generating audience products without requiring internal identity graphs. The launch follows Predactiv's recent introduction of lookalike modelling features, furthering the platform's evolution into a comprehensive data enablement infrastructure.
LiveRamp has launched new AI capabilities enabling specialized AI agents to autonomously plan, execute, measure and optimise marketing campaigns. The data collaboration platform now allows customers to license AI-powered agents from partners, moving from manual workflows to intelligent, governed execution. Two agents are now live: SemantIQ helps health and life science marketers build healthcare provider audiences, whilst Newton Research provides instant measurement insights through natural language queries. LiveRamp is expanding partnerships across audience planning, segmentation, optimisation and measurement. The platform also introduced enhanced lookalike modelling across first-, second- and third-party data, plus identity-powered control groups for consistent cross-channel performance measurement. Customers can access these capabilities in alignment with their organisational AI policies.
