ActiveProspect is sharpening its position in the evolving MarTech stack with a clear structural shift. The company has rebranded its recently acquired Verisk Marketing Solutions business as InfutorData, signaling a strategic split between compliance-driven lead generation and data-powered identity intelligence.
The move follows ActiveProspect’s December 2025 acquisition of Verisk Marketing Solutions from Verisk Analytics, backed by Five Elms Capital. It’s less a cosmetic rebrand and more a repositioning play aimed at clarifying how marketers navigate two increasingly intertwined—but operationally distinct—challenges: consent and identity.
The combined business now tops $100 million in annual recurring revenue, putting ActiveProspect in a stronger position to compete in a market where compliance, data quality, and identity resolution are converging fast.
At the core of the announcement is a simplified operating model.
ActiveProspect will continue focusing on the opt-in lead generation ecosystem—its traditional stronghold. That includes tools for TCPA compliance, lead certification, filtering, and partner orchestration. In an era of tightening privacy regulations and litigation risk, that’s not a small niche; it’s a necessity.
InfutorData, meanwhile, becomes a standalone identity and data intelligence arm. Its remit is broader: identity resolution, data enrichment, and marketing intelligence for brands, data providers, and platforms.
The split reflects a growing reality in B2C marketing. Consent and identity may be connected, but they require different infrastructure, different data models, and often different buyers within the enterprise.
The timing is notable.
Marketers are under pressure from multiple fronts: stricter privacy laws, signal loss from cookies and mobile identifiers, and rising customer acquisition costs. At the same time, expectations for personalization haven’t gone away.
That tension is pushing companies to invest in two parallel capabilities:
ActiveProspect is effectively aligning its business around those twin needs.
Its core platform ensures that leads are consented, compliant, and auditable—critical in a world shaped by TCPA enforcement and evolving privacy frameworks. InfutorData extends that value by helping marketers actually use that data more effectively once it’s captured.
The Infutor name isn’t new—it has a two-decade history in the data and identity space. Bringing it back suggests ActiveProspect sees brand equity in separating its identity business from its compliance roots.
CEO Steve Rafferty framed the move as an expansion of the company’s founding vision: building a marketing ecosystem grounded in consent and transparency. The difference now is scope. Instead of focusing solely on lead generation, the company is positioning itself across the broader data lifecycle.
That’s a crowded space, with established players in identity resolution and data onboarding already competing for enterprise budgets. But ActiveProspect’s angle—linking compliance-grade data collection with downstream identity intelligence—could resonate with organizations trying to connect governance with growth.
InfutorData’s capabilities center on making customer data more usable and trustworthy.
Its platform links identities across channels, improving match rates and helping marketers build more complete customer profiles. That, in turn, supports better targeting, reduced fraud, and more efficient acquisition strategies.
In practical terms, this means:
For marketers navigating signal loss and fragmented data ecosystems, those capabilities are quickly becoming table stakes.
ActiveProspect’s restructuring mirrors a wider trend in MarTech: specialization within integration.
Vendors are increasingly breaking out distinct capabilities—compliance, identity, analytics—into modular offerings while still promising interoperability. The goal is to give enterprises flexibility without sacrificing cohesion.
It’s also a response to buying behavior. Different stakeholders—legal, marketing, data teams—often control different parts of the stack. A dual-brand approach can make it easier to sell into those silos while maintaining a unified backend strategy.
With InfutorData, ActiveProspect is making a calculated bet: that the future of B2C marketing hinges on balancing two forces—strict compliance and sophisticated identity intelligence.
By separating those functions while keeping them strategically aligned, the company is aiming to serve both sides of that equation without forcing customers into a one-size-fits-all platform.
Whether that model scales will depend on execution—and on how well marketers adapt to a landscape where knowing your customer increasingly depends on both permission and precision.
