“LiveRamp is helping us onboard our data and connect it to more platforms and partners, enabling us to increase efficiency and deliver customer value.” – Anudit Vikram, SVP of Products, Audience Solutions at Dun & Bradstreet
LiveRamp’s ability to help marketers increase sales is highlighted in the recent Total Economic Impact (TEI) study conducted by Forrester Consulting and commissioned by Acxiom.[1]. The study, which interviewed four of LiveRamp’s customers including three Fortune 500 brands, found that for a composite organization LiveRamp’s data onboarding capabilities delivered a 12.3x return on investment, a 10 percent increase in efficiency of its digital marketing budget, a 5 percent sales lift following campaigns, and a 2.5x increase in new customers making a store purchase following digital campaigns as well as payback in three months.
“The new era of data-driven marketing is accelerating demand for connectivity as brands seek to reach consumers across a fragmented landscape of channels and devices,” said Travis May, President of LiveRamp. “We look forward to helping our clients and partners achieve even greater success in the year ahead as we double down on our mission to connect the digital marketing ecosystem.”
