In the latest episode of the NDA Meets podcast, NDA Editor Justin Pearse sits down with Travis Clinger, Chief Connectivity & Ecosystem Officer and GM, International at LiveRamp.

In this episode, we discuss Travis’s dual role leading global connectivity and international growth for LiveRamp, roles that have him clocking thousands of air miles while shaping the future of data collaboration across continents. With almost a decade at LiveRamp, Travis has been at the heart of some of the company’s most groundbreaking developments, including the launch of its Authenticated Traffic Solution (ATS), a response to the demise of third-party cookies.

We talk about how LiveRamp’s vision has evolved from enabling first-party data activation to powering a new era of safe, scalable data collaboration between brands, publishers, and retailers, through tools like clean rooms and new AI integrations. Travis explains how data collaboration has moved from an abstract concept to a practical, performance-driving solution embraced by pioneers like Boots.

Travis also gives us a global perspective on marketing innovation, highlighting the nuanced differences between the US and European markets, and the potential for emerging regions like the Middle East to leapfrog older data strategies.

​In the latest episode of the NDA Meets podcast, Editor Justin Pearse sits down with Richard Davis, Co-Founder & CEO at 51toCarbonZero.

We discuss how companies in the media and markerting industry continue to make huge stides towards decarbonistion on the path to net zero, despite recent moves in the US.

"There is distinction between news headlines and what real people think. In the US the 80 million consumers who are passionate about this topic are still passionate about it," he said. "There is no slowdown in what companies are doing on the ground, maybe just a reduction in talking about it from a PR point of view."

Crucially, we talk about how companies in this space can take their first steps on this journey and how to imbue a sense of accountability to ensure successful transformation strategies.

"The biggest challenge if not a technical one but a behavioural one," he said. "The underlying challenge is a a behavioural one, both among the workforce and from the top."
