Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (NYSE: ZETA) has entered into a strategic partnership with Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR), sending shares of both companies higher following the announcement.

The deal, revealed on June 23, centers on developing a shared AI infrastructure layer that integrates customer and operational intelligence with marketing execution across enterprise clients.

Both companies are working toward new benchmarks for agentic marketing by linking Palantir’s AI infrastructure to Zeta’s data assets and intelligent decision-making capabilities.

The partnership arrives as Zeta continues to build out its broader technology ecosystem, positioning itself as a central player in the rapidly evolving enterprise AI marketing space.

Ahead of the partnership announcement, Zeta had already been making moves to expand its platform, revealing on June 18 the rollout of its Athena product to agencies ahead of the Cannes Lions 2026 Festival.

The company noted that converting new technology investments into real-time intelligence remains a persistent challenge for agencies as they develop and adopt emerging tools and partnerships.

Athena is built on Zeta’s proprietary identity graph, known as SuperGraph, which generates customer insights by evaluating signals drawn from approximately 245 million individuals.

The platform is designed to identify opportunities and deliver optimal recommendations by combining agency data with the SuperGraph, while also enhancing performance across the entire customer lifecycle.

Zeta Global provides enterprises with consumer intelligence and marketing automation software on a global scale, operating the Zeta Marketing Platform and its Consumer Data Platform, known as CDP+, for unified customer profiles.

The company’s broader product suite includes Zeta Messaging, integrated data management, enterprise-scale delivery infrastructure, and consumer data support services.

ZETA shares rose 6.15% following news of the Palantir partnership, while PLTR climbed 5.28%, reflecting investor confidence in the commercial potential of the combined AI marketing offering.

Despite the positive market reaction, Zeta Global has previously been flagged by short sellers as one of the ten worst-performing artificial intelligence stocks trading under $30, underscoring the divided sentiment surrounding the company’s long-term outlook.
