The solution leverages Xumo's extensive streaming footprint across devices, smart TVs, and ad-supported channels to deliver scalable, privacy-conscious advertising.

Enhanced Identity Infrastructure for Streaming Ads “We built this solution alongside the industry’s leading data and identity innovators to deliver measurable outcomes for advertisers,” said Jiro Egawa, Senior Vice President, Platform Growth and Monetization, Xumo. “By working hand in hand with leaders like TransUnion, The Trade Desk, and LiveRamp, we’re ensuring advertisers can activate data seamlessly, confidently, and at scale.”

Privacy-First Collaboration Benefits "Advertisers need solutions that balance precision with privacy, and that’s exactly what this collaboration delivers,” said Julie Clark, Senior Vice President of Media and Entertainment, TransUnion. “By combining TransUnion’s trusted identity data with Xumo’s advanced capabilities, we’re helping brands reach the right audiences more confidently and responsibly."

Core Components of the Identity Layer Xumo's infrastructure integrates:

  • Proprietary viewership data from FAST channels.
  • Household and multidimensional demographic insights from TransUnion.
  • Third-party identifiers including The Trade Desk's Unified ID 2.0 and LiveRamp's RampID.

This creates a robust identity layer supporting richer ad requests and superior campaign performance.

Opportunities in Premium Streaming Environments With millions of viewers engaged in news, sports, entertainment, and lifestyle content, Xumo provides advertisers access to large-scale, brand-safe audiences. Seamless integration with ad tech platforms ensures operational flexibility on a privacy-first foundation.

The launch positions Xumo to help brands navigate signal loss and privacy regulations while driving effective streaming ad investments.
