Nexxen International Ltd. has launched a new predictions report focused on the 2026 U.S. midterm elections. The report utilizes Nexxen's proprietary data to analyze voter behavior, particularly among "news-avoiding voters," offering insights for political advertisers. It highlights that a significant portion of the electorate avoids traditional news but remains politically engaged, consuming content through entertainment, social platforms, and audio, which Nexxen's unified platform helps advertisers target.

Nexxen International Ltd. and L2 Data announced a strategic partnership to introduce VoterMatch, a new solution for political advertisers. VoterMatch aims to enhance understanding of voter reach and frequency by integrating Nexxen's log-level data with L2's comprehensive National Voter File. This collaboration is expected to provide more precise reach visibility, improved frequency controls, and stronger optimization inputs, allowing campaigns to make smarter decisions and maximize ad spend efficiency.

Nexxen announced the next evolution of its nexAI platform, introducing interoperability capabilities that allow external AI agents to connect via open protocols like Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A). This transforms nexAI into an open AI operating system spanning DSP, SSP, and DMP, enabling customers to integrate Nexxen's data and capabilities into their own AI workflows. The launch also includes new agent-powered workflows for reporting, troubleshooting, campaign QA, and audience research, emphasizing transparent and human-governed AI.

The partnership also offers select brands exclusive experiential activations, such as in-person match attendance, through Hisense's FIFA World Cup sponsorship, addressing the increasingly fragmented viewing behavior around major sports events.
