Nielsen kicked off Advertising Week with a new look. The measurement company unveiled a brand campaign that “represents a commitment to innovation and the company’s role and purpose of powering a better media future for all people.” Following the sale of its Global Connect business in March 2021, Nielsen is now focused on delivering digital-first and global-first media solutions in measurement, audience outcomes and content services. “The rebranding marks a new Nielsen both inside the company and out, with a strategy hyper-focused on the global audience and the changing media environment,” said Jamie Moldafsky, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer. “Nielsen’s core values of inclusion, courage and growth, along with its clear strategy, will power the company’s transformation as we partner with the industry and our clients to help them better understand how evolving audiences consume media and find content.”

Sinclair is working “to determine what information the data contained and will take other actions as appropriate based on its review.”
