Dentsu and CreatorIQ, the global operating system for creator-led growth, announced a first-of-its-kind data partnership integrating dentsu’s proprietary audience strategy and insights platform, dentsu.Audiences, with CreatorIQ’s next-generation, AI-enabled platform. The integration allows brands to directly match target audience attributes with creator, follower or viewership audience data, eliminating guesswork, and helping marketers identify the most impactful voices for every campaign. Through the partnership, dentsu clients across creative, media and CRM will gain access to dentsu’s creator database, powered by CreatorIQ. Brands can identify and evaluate creators at scale, which includes micro- to macro-creators with accounts across every social media platform, all mapped directly against customized target audience data and intelligence. As creator ad spend approaches $44 billion, the partnership eliminates one of the industry’s most persistent inefficiencies—the disconnect between how brands define their audiences and how they select creators to reach them. Media strategies are built around precise audience definitions, but creator selection has largely operated separately, relying on follower counts, engagement rates, and category fit rather than direct audience overlap with the brand's actual target. By embedding creator profiles, inclusive of creator audience data, into dentsu.Audiences, dentsu clients can now select creators the same way they buy media: starting with who they need to reach, and working backward to find the right voices to reach them. The combination of dentsu.Audiences and CreatorIQ unlocks access to a vast pool of creator profiles, enabling more precise, data-driven creator selection and campaign planning. The industry-leading partnership creates true interoperability as dentsu teams can now seamlessly access their CreatorIQ database, together with first-party and proprietary dentsu.Audience data, all within the dentsu.Connect connected ecosystem from planning to activation and measurement. While the integration is focused on the US, the CreatorIQ partnership extends globally. CreatorIQ’s advanced capabilities in creator discovery and vetting, campaign execution, and performance analysis, fueled by the Creator Graph™’s11 years of creator data, bring a new level of sophistication to creator identification and evaluation. CreatorIQ transforms fragmented data into structured, AI-ready intelligence that brands can act on at every stage of a creator program. Dentsu clients across sectors including travel, CPG, and health are already testing the partnership. This partnership will be integrated into the tech stack that powers dentsu Social and comes on the heels of dentsu’s relaunch of 360i in the U.S.—an AI-native, social-first solution to help brands navigate an advertising environment increasingly shaped by algorithms, creators, social platforms, and AI-driven discovery.

ITN announced a new initiative to further expand its programmatic local linear TV platform by integrating Comscore's advanced and qualitative data into the ITN NXTv Programmatic Hub. Comscore's audience segments enable advertisers and media sellers to apply advanced household-level consumer and demographic insights to local TV. As an alpha partner to the NXTv Programmatic Hub, dentsu is helping accelerate this next phase of innovation which is advancing audience-based programmatic activation in local linear TV by applying Comscore-provided advanced audience segments directly in campaign execution. Through this integration, ITN continues to modernize how local broadcast inventory is activated using impression-based programmatic workflows aligned with the broader video ecosystem. At the center of the initiative is a data store within the ITN NXTv Programmatic Hub. Powered by Comscore advanced and qualitative audiences, the data store includes more than eight hundred lifestyle and behavioral segments. As part of the initial rollout, dentsu will leverage these capabilities to execute programmatic local linear TV campaigns using custom audience segments. The integration preserves broadcaster control while simplifying impression-based buying for local linear TV—expanding value for both local TV and digital buyers and helping stations protect and grow share of investment. The NXTv Programmatic Hub enables users to: Activate programmatic local linear TV using Comscore lifestyle and behavioral audience data across activation and post-campaign reporting. Create and manage custom Deal IDs informed by Comscore advanced data. Execute detailed programmatic buys through an integration with Magnite's ClearLine enabling activation across linear television. Monitor delivery in unified dashboards across linear and digital video. ITN's programmatic infrastructure, Comscore's audience intelligence, and dentsu's sophisticated approach to activation are leading the industry to reduce friction and improve accountability across the local TV supply chain. This initiative strengthens local linear TV by adding programmatic intelligence, automation, and transparency to its unmatched reach. Next, ITN will extend these capabilities to enhanced deal structures, advanced analytics dashboards, and AI buyer-to-seller agents to translate natural language prompts for streamlined submissions, bidding, and delivery.

Dentsu has bolstered its Asia-Pacific leadership bench, appointing Sumit Kohli as head of investment - APAC, as the network sharpens its focus on disciplined, outcome-driven media spending in a volatile advertising market. Kohli, a media veteran with nearly two decades of experience, steps into the role after an 11-year stint at Publicis Media, where he most recently served as APAC executive director, investment, accountability and partnerships. His mandate at dentsu is clear: align investment decisions more tightly with client priorities while delivering measurable, high-impact results. Based in Singapore, Kohli will steer regional investment strategy across both digital and offline channels, with a strong emphasis on accountability, transparency and performance metrics. His appointment comes as agencies face mounting pressure from clients to justify every rupee spent amid shifting consumption patterns and the rapid rise of data-led media buying. At Publicis Media, Kohli led initiatives around measurement frameworks and ROI-driven planning, working across key markets including Singapore and Thailand. He also handled marquee clients such as Coca-Cola, Samsung, Mars-Wrigley and LVMH, building long-term partnerships and driving efficiencies in media investment. Earlier stints at MediaCom Singapore, VivaKi and MEC saw him cut his teeth across planning, trading and negotiation, managing 360-degree media mandates and scaling digital spends for key accounts. He began his career as a media planner at Percept, steadily moving up the ranks as the industry pivoted towards integrated, cross-platform strategies. Kohli's move underscores dentsu's push to double down on strategic investment leadership as advertisers demand sharper returns and greater accountability. With media fragmentation accelerating and digital commanding an ever-larger share of budgets, the battle is no longer just about reach-it is about precision, performance and proof. In that race, dentsu is placing its bets on Kohli to turn every media rupee into a measurable advantage.

Dentsu and BranchLab announced a strategic partnership designed to redefine how healthcare brands identify and reach healthcare consumers and providers. Through this partnership, dentsu's proprietary data integrates with BranchLab's Pathwai platform, a neural network-based modeling system that uses anonymized data to create audiences for healthcare marketing within demographic datasets. Together, they transform dentsu's data into healthcare-relevant, targetable segments that are anticipated to perform as well as, or better than legacy, medical claims-based targeting methods. Pathwai reinvents audience design with an agentic self-serve interface that can transform any demographic database into privacy-conscious healthcare targeting segments using an entirely new application of Deep Learning AI. The platform enables dentsu to design, activate, and measure healthcare consumer, caregiver, and healthcare professional audiences based on historical results from anonymized health outcomes such as a diagnosis, prescription fills, procedures, patient care, and much more. The result is a scalable, privacy-conscious approach that is anticipated to unlock the value of dentsu's data for healthcare marketing, enabling nationwide audience activation, improved qualified reach, and incorporation of brand first-party data into the modeling process. BranchLab builds brand-specific neural networks on anonymized clinical data to model and predict data patterns that indicate likely target audiences within demographic datasets. Its deep learning architecture translates millions of anonymous real-world patient journeys into privacy-conscious audience segments that can be activated across media channels, including streaming and addressable TV, programmatic, social, and digital media. Key benefits of the dentsu–BranchLab partnership include unlocking new value from dentsu data, predictive targeting, supervised AI learning, and design for HIPAA-compliance and nationwide use. This launch marks the foundation of a long-term initiative, with future phases expanding the integration across dentsu's product suites to unify health intelligence across the marketing ecosystem.

The consolidated organic growth rate for the nine months of FY2025 was broadly in line with the expectations announced in August. While the Japan business exceeded expectations, the international business fell short. Based on these factors, the consolidated organic growth forecast for FY2025 remains at circa 0%, as revised in August. By region, the organic growth rate for Japan has been revised upward from circa 3% to circa 4%, while the international business has been revised downward from negative circa 2% to negative circa 3%. There are no changes to the forecast for the Americas and EMEA.

Accordingly, the full-year operating margin forecast is revised from circa 12% to the 13% range. Following the upward revision of underlying operating profit, operating profit on a statutory basis was revised from an operating loss of 3.5 billion yen to an operating profit of 17.6 billion yen.

Once profits from business, progress on asset sales and other relevant factors have been comprehensively evaluated, the appropriate level of shareholder returns will be determined and announced.
