And Cardlytics was born. Today, the company describes itself as a commerce media platform powered by publishers' first-party purchase data, with access to nearly 215 million customers and visibility into half of all card-based transactions in the U.S. and a quarter in the U.K., seeing approximately $5.8 trillion in annual consumer spend.
