Derek Dubner, Co-CEO of IDI, stated, “The acquisition of Fluent is transformative, placing IDI in an enviable position of leveraging our advanced data analytics in support of multiple industries. While our team has built the leading organizations within the multi-billion dollar risk management space, our goal has been to apply our technology to consumer marketing, opening up our addressable market by orders of magnitude. Fluent’s business, management, and employees are now a vital piece of IDI’s growth and we believe this acquisition provides significant value for our shareholders.”

Ryan Schulke, CEO of Fluent, added, “While this acquisition serves as further confirmation of Fluent’s success in driving exceptional value and ROI within the digital marketing space, we believe joining the IDI family opens up an exciting new chapter for our business. We feel IDI’s data fusion and big data analytics will greatly accelerate growth, creating a truly differentiated company within the industry.”
