LiveRamp Unlocks Identity-Driven Marketing with Unity to Power Better Returns in Gaming

Key Terms

first-party data technical

First-party data is information a company collects directly from its own customers and users through interactions like purchases, website visits, app usage, subscriptions, or surveys. For investors it matters because this data is exclusive, typically more accurate and cost-effective than third-party sources, and helps the company target customers, predict sales, improve products, and comply with privacy rules — like a store’s loyalty list versus a bought mailing list.

omnichannel marketing technical

Omnichannel marketing is a coordinated approach that lets a company reach customers through many connected touchpoints—such as websites, mobile apps, email, social media, phone, and physical stores—so the experience feels consistent and seamless no matter how someone interacts. Investors care because it can boost sales, customer loyalty, and marketing efficiency by turning scattered interactions into a unified customer journey, much like a retail chain that gives the same helpful service whether you shop online or in person.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP), the leader in data collaboration, today announced an expanded partnership with Unity (NYSE: U), the world’s leading game engine, to improve marketers’ effectiveness reaching mobile users, as well as powering better marketing returns. The partnership will make LiveRamp’s durable, interoperable identifier – RampID – available across Unity Exchange, enabling marketers, agencies, and platforms to apply identity-based buying strategies within Unity’s mobile ecosystem, which includes 2.9B monthly active devices in mobile environments globally, and 256M in the U.S.

Historically, brands, agencies, and platforms had to rely on mobile identifiers and other alternatives to market within mobile environments. Now, LiveRamp and Unity are leveraging RampID so that marketers can tap identity within gaming and mobile, with the same consistency as other parts of the consumer journey, unlocking omnichannel marketing that reaches consumers in games as seamlessly as anywhere else they spend time.

By enabling RampID across the Unity Exchange, Unity is increasing the addressability of gaming inventory and helping advertisers extend their identity-driven strategies into mobile apps at scale. Marketers can then tap their deep first-party data to reach the right consumers at the right time.

“Marketers want to be able to activate across every channel and reach their target customers quickly and seamlessly, and the partnership between LiveRamp and Unity extends this even further into gaming, at scale,” said Matthew Hogg, SVP, Connectivity & Ecosystem at LiveRamp. “Unity is tapping RampID to unlock a critical capability for marketers to extend identity and seamlessly drive omnichannel activation, now including gaming.”

“Identity strategies only create value when they can be applied in the environments where people actually spend time on mobile,” said Chris Feo, SVP, Programmatic at Unity. “Making RampID available across Unity Exchange gives brands, agencies, and platforms a seamless way to extend addressable planning into mobile gaming as part of how they already approach identity across digital media.”
