Nexxen Slashes First-Party Data Onboarding Time to Under 24 Hours
Event summary
- Nexxen launched a new first-party data onboarding capability in its DSP, reducing activation time to under 24 hours.
- The feature integrates audience validation against Nexxen’s enhanced Unified Identity Graph, improving match rates and household scale insights.
- Unified Identity Graph expansion by nearly 100% globally through integration of offline signals like hashed emails (HEMs).
- Self-serve workflow within Nexxen DSP eliminates operational friction in programmatic activation.
The big picture
Nexxen’s move addresses a persistent pain point in programmatic advertising: the slow, complex process of activating first-party data. As privacy regulations tighten and third-party cookies disappear, advertisers increasingly rely on their own customer data for targeting. The company’s enhanced identity graph—combining online and offline signals—positions it to capitalize on this industry shift, though execution will depend on proving tangible performance improvements.
