Nexxen Launches ‘The Pivotal Electorate’ Report, Sharing Key Insights on Hispanic/Latine Voters Ahead of U.S. Election
Linkedin Icon-xtwitterlogo-black Leveraging its proprietary Discovery platform, Nexxen has unearthed unique data on the Hispanic and Latine electorate in swing states and across the U.S. New York, October 1, 2024 – Nexxen, a global, unified advertising technology platform with deep expertise in video and Connected TV (“CTV”), has conducted original research utilizing its proprietary Discovery tool to reveal insights into the types of online content with which Hispanic/Latine voters in swing states like Arizona and Nevada, as well as across the U.S., are engaging. This in-depth analysis offers a unique view into the interests and media consumption habits of one of the country’s most influential voter blocs ahead of the 2024 election. The study, conducted using Nexxen Discovery, delves into the preferences of U.S. adults aged 18+ who identify as Hispanic/Latine. With data drawn from a diverse array of sources – including proprietary user web panels, ad exposure, TV viewership, bid streams and first-party data – Nexxen Discovery has identified key trends that may be shaping the political landscape for Hispanic/Latine voters. Key findings include: Hispanic/Latine voters in Arizona prioritize gun control, immigration and reproductive rights more than other hot-button issues, while those in Nevada are more heavily focused on the recent rise in COVID-19 cases and price-gouging The ways Hispanic/Latine generations consume content vary drastically – Boomers+ prefer in-depth analysis, Millennials gravitate towards simplicity and Gen Z is drawn to sensationalism While sports content is at the top of the list to find the 25+ demographic, the younger generation is more likely to be reached on fandom and fantasy sites “Recognizing the rich nuance of our population is more important than ever, especially in today’s complex political landscape,” said Sham Mathis, Director of Research at Nexxen. “A blanket strategy simply won’t work when we consider the diverse backgrounds, experiences and beliefs that shape people’s perspectives, including their political leanings. By diving deeper into the data – as we’ve done in this report – we can uncover critical insights that allow advertisers and campaigns to connect with voters on a more personal level. Ultimately, we believe understanding these nuances is key to delivering impactful and resonant messaging.” Nexxen Discovery provides insights that enable marketers and political campaigns to better understand and connect with target audiences, including the Hispanic/Latine community.

Methodology For this report, Nexxen conducted data analysis that explored distinct segments of the adult 18+ population, such as age and race/ethnicity. Custom audiences were built to allow for deeper analysis of each segment. The audience in this report is a custom group designed for Nexxen Discovery insights. It consists of US adults aged 18+ of Hispanic/Latine ethnicity. More specifically, this audience was built using Nexxen’s standard methodology, focusing on over-indexing topic areas for the Hispanic/Latine electorate. By identifying top phrases and keywords from specific websites in the audience’s native language (e.g., Spanish) and predicating the audience was built on engagement behavior, Nexxen was able to achieve a geographic and political balance. Census data also helped ensure the audience accurately represented that of the U.S. Hispanic/Latine demographic. Insights were derived from Nexxen’s proprietary audience discovery technology, Discovery. Discovery data is based on online user consumption/engagement and comes from wide-ranging online sources, such as: proprietary user web panels, ad exposure and TV viewership, bid streams and first-party data.

As political ad spend faucet opens, CTV media stands to be a major winner
Partner Spotlight with Raphael Rivilla
We recently sat down with Raphael Rivilla, Chief Media Officer, from Marcus Thomas to discuss their award-winning campaign with Troy-Bilt. Read more of our conversation below: Congratulations on your big Digiday Content Award win for Best Interactive Content Piece for Troy-Bilt’s “Low, Slow and Mow” campaign! Voice-to-Action (VTA) is a fresh innovation in CTV which is just starting to get traction with brands; what excited you most about using VTA for this campaign? Marcus Thomas and Troy-Bilt have always leveraged new technology as part of our test and learn budgets. We were the first Outdoor Power Equipment company to leverage Watson’s AI when it first came out, so when we heard about this new extension of CTV as a way to distribute our Low, Slow, and Mow recipe content, then it was a no-brainer. We could literally send our recipes to interested consumers from the CTV prompt. Can you speak about how you collaborated with Nexxen Studio on developing your creative assets? Marcus Thomas media and creative leads worked together with the Nexxen Studio team to ensure the holistic look and feel of the Low, Slow & Mow campaign was captured in the Voice-to-Action CTV unit. The branded frame was refined to ensure the animation and introduction of the voice invocation was cohesive with the Troy-Bilt brand asset, resulting in a comprehensive viewing experience for consumers with this first-to-market approach. In partnership with both Nexxen Studio & Say It Now, Marcus Thomas also provided creative direction on the script for the Alexa skill which ultimately redirected viewers to the landing page to view additional recipes. When we heard about this new extension of CTV as a way to distribute our Low, Slow, and Mow recipe content, then it was a no-brainer. When we heard about this new extension of CTV as a way to distribute our Low, Slow, and Mow recipe content, then it was a no-brainer. Your campaign obviously resonated with audiences, so what was your approach to ensuring that this creative was activated programmatically in a way that would achieve your desired results? We have specific target audiences for Troy-bilt so we ensured that our CTV spots targeted these audiences while layering in audiences that engaged with voice-assistants. What is one piece of advice you’d give to other agencies when they plan cross-platform campaigns? Think about the value exchange and the consumer journey and how you can deliver content of value, first. Second, make sure the content can be modular so it can be distributed and shared across various formats. The addition of AI in platforms to customize your existing content to dynamically fit platforms and audiences makes it even easier now.
