What Access Intelligence does
Access Intelligence aggregates niche B2B audiences around specialist editorial brands and converts that attention into commercial revenue. It creates value by producing sector-specific content, newsletters, awards, memberships and conferences, then selling sponsorship, advertising, exhibition access, tickets and premium information products to companies that want targeted reach, lead generation and market visibility within those communities.
Category differentiation
This is a B2B media and events portfolio company, not an access management or cybersecurity provider. It owns specialist publishing and conference brands rather than selling enterprise software as its core product.

Workweek Launches Newsletter Platform and Ad Network
Email & Newsletter · Recorded impact score: 3/5
Workweek, a vetted social networking platform for industry professionals, launched a built-in newsletter platform powered by its proprietary ad network. The platform hosts five vertical communities (healthcare, HR, financial services, marketing and ecommerce) and restricts membership by role and seniority. Workweek said its ad network has a CPM of roughly $50, uses AI to generate persona-specific ad copy, and allows creators to set advertiser blocklists. The company claims it can identify about 81% of newsletter subscribers by name and employer and provides advertisers with publication IDs and audience targeting data (but not exact newsletter identities). Workweek also open-sourced an AI model to filter bot clicks and offers multi-touch attribution reporting that ties employee-level ad exposure to purchase events.

Nielsen Updates Measurement to Reduce Bias
Measurement · Recorded impact score: 4/5
Nielsen is rolling out upgrades to its Big Data + Panel video measurement currency, slated to go live by the end of August 2026, aimed at reducing measurement bias by better representing Spanish‑language households, improving co‑viewing measurement, and integrating survey inputs more tightly with its legacy panels. The company will add data from the American Community Survey and the National Hispanic Enumeration Survey to better identify Spanish‑speaking households, expand use of wearable devices to measure co‑viewing, and accelerate incorporation of ARF’s DASH TV Universe Study data — including adding DASH into its Gauge report. Brian Fuhrer, Nielsen’s SVP of product strategy and thought leadership, framed the changes as efforts to remove bias and get closer to real viewing behavior.

Agentic AI vs Supply-Path Optimization in Media Buying
Programmatic Media Buying · Recorded impact score: 2/5
Andrea Kwiatek, director of strategic partnerships at independent agency Goodway Group, told AdExchanger that while the industry is excited about agentic AI, supply-path optimization (SPO) remains a practical priority. Goodway Group is testing agentic media-buying agents by feeding them campaign briefs to compare buyer and seller agent recommendations and to verify whether agents can be constrained to approved buying paths. Kwiatek stressed the need for transparency, rigorous partner validation, and third-party verification to ensure AI-driven buying does not become another opaque black box. The interview highlights agency responsibilities to vet partners and protect client outcomes while experimenting with new agentic infrastructure.

Pinterest Names Jason Fairchild GM of Programmatic & Affiliate
CTV / Programmatic · Recorded impact score: 2/5
Pinterest expanded the role of tvScientific CEO and Co‑Founder Jason Fairchild, naming him General Manager of Programmatic and Affiliate as the company pushes more programmatic CTV inventory. The title change follows Pinterest’s acquisition of performance‑focused CTV startup tvScientific less than a year earlier; tvScientific will continue to operate as an independent business and Fairchild remains its CEO. Pinterest said it plans to fold tvScientific’s capabilities into its Performance+ ad product, and Fairchild described Pinterest’s audience signals as high‑intent data valuable for performance advertising. Pinterest aims to scale availability of its audiences through programmatic and affiliate channels and to prove cross‑channel outcomes, particularly for streaming TV where attribution is more challenging. Fairchild characterized CTV as an expanding opportunity for performance‑oriented advertisers, though still in the early stages.
- Pinterest expanded Jason Fairchild’s title to General Manager of Programmatic and Affiliate.
- Jason Fairchild remains CEO and Co‑Founder of tvScientific, which continues to operate as an independent business.
Liquid Death Prioritizes Incrementality to Measure Sales
Measurement · Recorded impact score: 2/5
This AdExchanger Talks podcast features Benoit Vatere, Chief Media & Digital Commerce Officer at Liquid Death, discussing the brand’s approach to measurement. Vatere argues CPG sales largely occur at retail checkout and that channel-specific metrics like ROAS are insufficient on their own; he links ROAS to new-to-brand metrics as a proxy for incrementality. Liquid Death focuses marketing toward light and lapsed buyers rather than only superfans. The piece also notes the brand’s partnership with performance-marketing platform Ibotta for always-on incrementality testing and raises the prospect that agentic AI could change grocery shopping dynamics between consumers, brands and bots.
- The piece is a podcast interview with Benoit Vatere, Chief Media & Digital Commerce Officer at Liquid Death.
- Vatere says most CPG sales still happen at the register rather than online and measurement must connect media to physical sales.
