🏆 With less than week to go until the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off, it's the perfect time for our head of insight & research, Alex Maude, to talk to Performance Marketing World about the match-winning stories our data tells. "We’ve examined Ozone’s cross-publisher view of audience content consumption in preparation for the World Cup. The clearest finding is this: tournaments don’t amplify the football season. They replace it." You can read Alex's piece here: https://lnkd.in/eE_TvTTP In addition, you can check out all of our insights on our special 'Pick Your Side' online hub. Whether you love the beautiful game and are a Footbally Faithful, or whether you want to be a blissfully unaware Football Free, there are insights there for everyone: https://lnkd.in/erNpwa54 Thanks to Joseph Arthur for the coverage.

Earlier this month we threw quite the party to launch our new product. Balloons, the lot. 🎈 This week, despite our best web searching to avoid any clashes, we've had to change the name. We'd love to tell you what it was called, but, you know, legals. What we can tell you is that falling back on a wordy product descriptor wasn't going to cut it. So we did the obvious thing: found the best word quietly sitting inside it, and made it the hero. Meet Access. Our audience addressability and content classification solution. Yes, it's almost an acronym. Almost. Same product, same capability, just a different name. We've now convinced ourselves it's a better one anyway. Sometimes the best thing that can happen to a name is a fresh start 🩵 Find out more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eTz4xyFn
