Ibexa Unveils AI Orchestration Engine and Unified Platform at Summit
Ibexa's Lisbon Summit showcased a unified digital experience orchestration platform built around trust, governance and composability. CEO Bertrand Maugain announced that five existing products — Raptor CDP, Actito, Qualifio, Quable and Cohesivo — now operate under the larger Ibexa brand and a single orchestration engine. Executives unveiled an Orchestration Engine AI layer with governed AI agents, an AI Signature for tracing agent decisions and confidence scoring, the Cohesivo CMS rebrand, new integrations, a translation hub and additional AI capabilities. Nestlé's Anna Rosàs Bresca discussed continuous customer journeys and the importance of unified data. The company emphasized a European approach to AI, highlighting digital sovereignty, transparency and human oversight. Customer use cases were presented by ADAC, CEVA, NAOS, Money Expert and others, while Ibexa Awards recognized Imerco, Nestlé, Synolia and RTBF.
Ibexa's unification of five Martech brands under a governance-focused AI orchestration engine is a notable DXP/MarTech platform evolution, but it is a niche vendor event rather than an industry-wide shift.

Nestlé and NBA announce global multi-year partnership
Nestlé has announced a multi-year international partnership with the National Basketball Association (NBA). Starting January 2027, the Milo, Nescau, and Nesquik brands will serve as official NBA partners across 21 markets on four continents, with the Philippines joining in October 2027. This is described as Nestlé's largest international brand collaboration to date. The partnership includes youth programs like Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA, NBA Basketball School, and NBA 3X, as well as activations at NBA events. Notably, the collaboration extends to retail with NBA-branded packaging, point-of-sale promotions, and sweepstakes. This fits Nestlé's strategy of consolidating its marketing efforts on fewer, larger platforms, reducing supported brands from over 400 in early 2024 to around 150 in 2026, while increasing marketing investments.
Consumer Healthcare Brands Embrace CPG Media Strategies
Consumer healthcare brands are increasingly adopting CPG-style media strategies to adapt to shifting consumer behavior and regulatory changes favoring OTC drugs. OTC sales rose to $58.2 billion in 2025, and the FDA has signaled openness to more prescription-to-OTC switches. Opella, spun out of Sanofi, exemplifies this trend, investing heavily in retail media, creator marketing, paid social, and search, with 60% of media investments now in digital channels. The company has built an 85-person in-house team using generative AI for creative production and brought programmatic and search in-house to boost ROI. Other companies like Kenvue and Hims & Hers are also adopting similar approaches. The shift brings challenges, including navigating retail media frictions and balancing long-term brand building with measurable performance, a balancing act CPG marketers already struggle with. AI search is also emerging as a key gateway to health information, requiring brands to monitor LLM citations.
Nestlé Confirms Annual Targets Ahead of Q3 Results
Nestlé has reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance ahead of its nine-month sales report on October 22. The consumer goods giant expects organic sales growth of 3-4%, an improvement in operating margin, and a free cash flow above CHF 9 billion. In Q2 2026, organic growth reached 3.7%, driven by 1.8% real internal growth and 1.9% pricing. The company anticipates a more moderate price evolution in the second half as prior increases lapse. The 'Fuel for Growth' program achieved CHF 1.7 billion in cumulative savings by H1, targeting CHF 2 billion for the year. Marketing spend increased to 8.9% of sales in H1, a 30 basis point rise, and is expected to be maintained. Regional performance varied: Americas grew 2.8%, Asia/Oceania/Africa 6.5%, Europe 1.5%, Nespresso 3.4%, and water/premium beverages 6.6%. Currency headwinds are expected to negatively impact reported sales by around 3% in 2026.
