About this update from Nestle S.a.
Nestlé leading adoption of the AI-powered integration that brings creator content into the center of global paid media operations—helping brands leverage high-performing creator media at scale. LOS ANGELES & LONDON & VEVEY, Switzerland, April 30, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CreativeX, the system of control for creative, content, and media, and CreatorIQ, the global operating system for creator-led growth, today announced an industry-first integration — developed in collaboration with Nestlé — to unify creator marketing and paid media workflows under one system.

CreativeX research found that in 2025, 28% of creator ad spend on Meta was effectively wasted when branding failed to appear within the first three seconds of a creator video. This is an infrastructure problem — and it's exactly what this integration is built to solve.
