Exhibit 99.1

Zeta Global Announces Intended Share Purchases by CEO and members of Senior Leadership and Board of Directors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA), the AI-Powered Marketing Cloud, today announced that David A. Steinberg, Zeta’s Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO, members of the Company’s leadership, and members of the Board of Directors intend to purchase shares of Zeta’s Class A common stock on Monday, November 18, 2024.

 

Taken together, these intended purchases by Steinberg and other members of Zeta leadership in their personal capacity and the directors represent approximately $3 million of Zeta’s Class A common stock.

 

“Last week’s ‘report’ was filled with false claims and objectively wrong information about Zeta Global,” Steinberg said. “Members of the Board, Company leadership, and I are showing our confidence in our Company’s integrity by making these purchases.”

 

“We will not allow untrue claims to derail our forward momentum that has delivered strong results for shareholders over the last three years.”

 

“I believe the current share price is undervalued,” said Steinberg, “and I am bullish about our future.”
