Distribution strategy

LiveRamp is for pipes. Skydeo Audience Marketplace is for delivery.

LiveRamp is valuable when a marketer needs automatic distribution at scale across established activation pipes. Skydeo Audience Marketplace is built for audience discovery, branded delivery, self-service packaging, provider merchandising, and a cleaner buyer experience before activation.

Skydeo Audience Marketplace is not positioned as a rip-and-replace for LiveRamp. It helps marketers package, discover, evaluate, and request Skydeo B2B and AccountsGraph audiences through a branded or self-service marketplace experience. When scaled downstream distribution is needed, LiveRamp can remain one of the activation pipes.

The clean story

LiveRamp is strong infrastructure for moving data through pipes. Skydeo Audience Marketplace delivers the layer buyers actually browse: Skydeo B2B segments, AccountsGraph account segments, ABM use cases, packaged audiences, request flows, and branded marketplace delivery. The two can play nicely together when LiveRamp remains an activation route and Skydeo owns the segment marketplace experience.
