Media networks can now onboard and list audiences to DSP marketplaces like The Trade Desk and Yahoo DSP without secondary revshare fees, cutting total marketplace fees in half

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hightouch, the leader in data and AI for marketing, today announced direct data onboarding integrations with The Trade Desk and Yahoo DSP, enabling media networks to list and monetize audiences in self-service ad marketplaces without paying secondary marketplace fees. Media networks using the new solution can cut total marketplace fees roughly in half compared to traditional onboarders like LiveRamp.



As media networks exhaust onsite inventory, offsite media has become a primary path to new revenue. DSP marketplaces give advertisers the direct control they want, offering self-service access to audiences from their own ad accounts. But the model’s reputation for thin margins has held back adoption.

One driver is the data onboarding layer. Traditional onboarders like LiveRamp require media networks to list audiences through a secondary marketplace before they reach the DSP, adding another revshare fee on top of the DSP’s own.

With Hightouch, media networks onboard audiences directly to DSP marketplaces without paying a second marketplace fee. Match Booster, Hightouch’s data onboarding solution, expands audience size and extends reach to households with one click. Audiences are available in hours, not weeks. Automated consent management ensures opt-outs and data deletion requests are honored across every marketplace listing.

Key capabilities

  • Warehouse-native audience building: Non-technical users build audiences from purchase data, ML model scores, and consent flags without engineering support.
  • Direct DSP marketplace listings: List audiences on DSP marketplaces like The Trade Desk and Yahoo DSP without routing through a secondary marketplace.
  • Match Booster: Expand audience size and extend reach to all people, devices, and households with one click.
  • Granular listing management: Grant and revoke advertiser access, set CPM and percentage-of-media rates, and manage public or private listings from one place.
  • Automated consent management: Opt-outs and deletion requests sync automatically across marketplace listings.

“Self-service offsite media got a reputation for thin margins because data onboarders made it that way,” said Ian Maier, General Manager of AdTech at Hightouch. “But the underlying model is sound: list your audiences, let advertisers self-serve, collect CPM fees. We just let it work the way it was supposed to, direct data onboarding with no additional fees.”
