MediaAlpha Inc., a customer acquisition marketplace for the insurance industry, announced a four-year extension of its agreement with The Zebra, an insurance comparison site.

As part of the agreement, MediaAlpha also is expanding its exclusivity across all paid auto and home insurance listings. This new deal furthers the relationship between the two companies, which dates back to 2015, and gives auto and home insurance carriers advertising in the MediaAlpha marketplace exclusive access to The Zebra’s audience of monthly users.

The Zebra enables consumers to compare quotes from multiple insurance carriers simultaneously. By working with MediaAlpha, The Zebra is able to complement the insurance comparison shopping information it already provides with targeted listings from carriers.
