ZETA
M&A
Product Launch
Guidance Update
  • Zeta Global differentiates itself with a proprietary data set of over 245 million U.S. adults and 525 million globally, enabling omnichannel marketing and serving customer retention, growth, and acquisition use cases, unlike competitors focused solely on retention.
  • The company introduced Athena, an AI agent designed to enhance efficiency by reducing workflow times from hours to minutes, leveraging Zeta's Data Cloud and Identity Graph for intelligent recommendations and seamless campaign management. Athena's monetization strategy focuses on driving use case adoption, which historically increases revenue per customer by three to five times.
  • Zeta has a strategic partnership with OpenAI, embedding OpenAI's conversational tool into Athena and exploring joint go-to-market opportunities, with TKO serving as an early adopter and public testimonial.
  • Recent acquisitions include LiveIntent, adding a new Publisher Cloud channel for targeted advertising in digital newsletters , and Marigold, a competitor acquisition expected to contribute at least $190 million in standalone revenue for calendar 2026. The Marigold acquisition aims to cross-sell Zeta's growth and acquisition use cases to Marigold's 30-50 large enterprise customers.
  • Zeta maintains strong growth and profitability by rigorously redistributing resources, focusing on coding and sales, and operating with an "ultra lean" middle layer, aiming for approximately 20% organic growth with 30% margins and 70% Free Cash Flow conversion by 2028/2030.
