Zeta Global to Acquire Digital Audience, Extending the Zeta Data Cloud Across the Digital Ecosystem

Acquisition strengthens the identity and activation layer of Zeta's intelligent AI infrastructure, helping enterprises activate customer intelligence and measure its impact across channels

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA), the intelligent AI infrastructure company, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Digital Audience, a data infrastructure company that expands identity and activation capabilities across the digital ecosystem.

Already integrated with Zeta, Digital Audience will expand Zeta’s identity and activation capabilities across all channels. The acquisition will also add an experienced team of data and AI engineers, strengthening the technical expertise behind Zeta’s intelligent AI infrastructure.

Intelligent AI infrastructure connects what an enterprise knows to AI and carries that intelligence into the channels where it can drive customer action. Digital Audience will strengthen Zeta’s ability to connect customer intelligence to activation, enabling more connected and measurable engagement.

“Enterprise intelligence only creates value when it can be put to work and improve outcomes,” said David A. Steinberg, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Zeta Global. “Our focus is always helping clients generate a higher return on every dollar they invest, and Digital Audience will help us do exactly that. It will strengthen the infrastructure that carries Zeta’s customer intelligence further into the digital ecosystem, helping customers activate what they know more efficiently, engage audiences more effectively across channels, and measure the impact. We are excited about our work with Digital Audience, and there is more ahead as we prepare to share our next major announcements at Zeta Live 2026.”

The acquisition will also strengthen Zeta’s European presence and will add established enterprise relationships in the region.

“Clients need their data and intelligence to travel with them across channels,” said Ruben Niet, CEO and Founder of Digital Audience. “By joining Zeta, we can bring our identity and activation capabilities together with one of the industry’s deepest sources of customer intelligence, helping enterprises create more connected and measurable engagement.”

Following the close of the transaction, Zeta will work closely with the Digital Audience team to provide continuity for customers.
