Initial Results Show Daily High of 110 Million User Matches Across 8 Billion Bid Requests

Index Exchange announced early results of its integration with LiveRamp® (NYSE: RAMP) IdentityLink™.   Publishers can expect increased spend, bid density and higher CPMs as more marketers leverage this buying framework. Consumers can expect faster load times with reduced browser network calls on publishers that leverage the IX Wrapper due to intelligent caching designs, network-effects enabled by LiveRamp’s participation in the Advertising ID Consortium, as well as cross-device opt-out persistence.

Currently, publishers using the IX Wrapper can take advantage of the benefits LiveRamp’s IdentityLink provides. LiveRamp recently announced DSPs can receive free, perpetual access to its identity graph via IdentityLink for Real-Time Bidding, increasing the number of platforms which can now transact on people-based media in real time. Additionally, the IX Wrapper makes the encrypted IdentityLink available for all Adapters within the Wrapper.  Adapters that support the IDL Translator can consume an encrypted IDL and append this data to their bid requests.
