Nexxen U launches 'Data for the Converged Media World,' building on program momentum and industry demand. Award-winning educational series helps media teams turn convergence into performance, leveraging expertise from Tastemade, Omnicom Media and A+E. NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Nexxen, the advertising technology platform powered by unique data and media, announced today a new module from its flagship education initiative, Nexxen U.

First launched in January 2025, Nexxen U provides foundational training to media professionals, supporting them as they navigate the complexities of our converged industry, like siloed planning and disparate measurement frameworks.

Given this success, Nexxen U won two Convergent TV Awards and was shortlisted at the Digiday Content Marketing Awards in 2026.
