Publicis Groupe completed its $2.2 billion acquisition of LiveRamp, enabling a split of LiveRamp's tools into standalone and integrated tiers under an FTC consent order. The FTC requires five years of continued access to LiveRamp's standalone products with compliance audits and dispute mediation to protect customer data neutrality while allowing Publicis to develop integrated AI and data infrastructure services.
