november 19, 2019 - Nielsen to split in two - source (LesEchos)

  • Nielsen has split in two, with Global Connect focusing on consumer marketing analysis on the one hand and Global Media on media audience measurement on the other.
  • Global Media is more profitable (3x more), requires fewer employees (15,000 vs. 37,000 for Global Connect) and offers better margins. The objectives of these players are therefore different.

  • Revenues of $1.56 billion, ahead of expectations
  • Sale of Global Connect for $2.7 billion to private equity firm Advent International.
