LG Ad Solutions Partners with Akkio to Unlock Real-Time Intelligence from ACR Data
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LG Ad Solutions, a global leader in advanced advertising for Connected TV and cross-screen devices, today announced a strategic partnership with Akkio, the AI-first platform built for media companies, to radically modernize how its customers interact with LG Ad Solutions industry-leading ACR (automatic content recognition) data—enabling faster, deeper insights into real consumer behavior at scale.
ACR data, captured directly from LG's Smart TV glass, provides one of the most powerful views into genuine human behavior in media. ACR is commonly acknowledged as one of the most important datasets for the future of television. It reflects what viewers are actually watching, skipping, or engaging with—moment by moment.
However, the size and complexity of ACR data has historically made it difficult to access and interpret quickly. With Akkio, that barrier disappears. LG Ad Solutions clients can now process 1.45 terabytes of ACR data in minutes, not days—transforming what used to be a manual, time-intensive process into a real-time intelligence layer accessible to all.
'We built this partnership around a core belief: that what happens at the glass is a real-time window into consumer behavior—and ACR is our conduit to that,' said Julian Zilberbrand, Global Head of Data Solutions at LG Ad Solutions. 'But with a dataset this massive, it's not just about having access—it's about making it usable. Akkio allows our customers to ask questions of the data in natural, intuitive ways and get immediate answers. It's how we modernize access to one of the richest behavioral datasets in the media.'
Akkio's AI infrastructure allows advertisers to chat across all of LG Ad Solutions' vast consumer data sets instantly, in an intuitive, conversational way—shifting the dynamic from tactical reporting to strategic insight.
This evolution delivers tailored client instances for each brand, built on cloud infrastructure with enterprise-grade privacy and security. It empowers brands to make real-time, data-driven decisions, optimize campaigns with greater agility, and drive performance on the largest screen in the home.
"This partnership isn't just about making data easier to access–we're fundamentally changing who gets to participate in data-driven decision making," said Jon Reilly, Co-Founder and CEO of Akkio. "We've designed Akkio so that anyone can have a natural conversation with massive datasets and get actionable answers in minutes, not days. This is more than a technology integration; by combining deep, insightful data with consumer-grade ease of access, we're enabling LG clients to move at the speed of business."
Akkio's AI-first platform enables LG Ads Solutions customers to explore data conversationally without any technical expertise, prompt engineering, or AI knowledge. This democratization transforms entire teams and organizations, allowing anyone to gain strategic insights from AI-enabled data regardless of their technical background. This partnership is not just a leap in processing speed—it's a fundamental shift in how ACR data is experienced, understood, and applied.

Forget JBL, This LG 5.1.1 Soundbar Bundle Hits Its Best Price Yet Only at Best Buy
One thing a lot of us forget when looking at a good home theater setup is the audio side of things. It's all good and well going out and buying the shiniest and most powerful television you can find, not to mention the dopamine hit from doing so, but you should always put some time and budget into treating your ears as well. See at Best Buy One of the simplest ways to do this without too much hassle is to get a soundbar, but even better than that is to get a soundbar that works with rear speakers and a subwoofer. As luck would have it, we've found an incredible bundle from LG that does just that, and it's currently $200 off (-40%). Music To Your Ears This bundle comes with a lot, so let's go through it. The main thing you're getting is the soundbar, which can sit just in front of your TV and then blast sound out to help fill your room with the audio from whatever you're watching. That's not all you're getting though, because you're getting two rear speakers and a subwoofer to make sure that every single rain drop will be felt, not just heard, and every single thing you watch will become a genuine experience. It manages to create 3D spatial sound, which means that you'll feel you're right in the middle of every scene, and maybe even develop a weird habit of checking over your shoulder. It's all wireless too, which means that you just don't need to stress about threading wires throughout the room, and you can just put the speakers where they'll be best, or at least where your kids can't get to them. These all work with games as well, and can handle up to a 120Hz refresh rate to make sure that you're hearing everything in line with how you're seeing it. The LG Soundbar App can let you customize everything you're hearing too, so if you always feel like you need a little bit more bass in whatever you're watching or listening too, then you can just adjust that yourself. Finally, if you're someone who did go out and buy yourself a nice LG TV, then this'll pair with it so easily it'll feel like fate. Even without that though, the set-up isn't going to cause anybody any stress, no matter what TV you have. That's a lot of power for just $300, so make sure you grab it before the deal runs out.

Israel launches 'preemptive' strikes on Iran
Israel carried out "preemptive" strikes against Iran on Friday, targeting its nuclear plant and military sites, after US President Donald Trump warned of a possible "massive conflict" in the region. Explosions were heard Friday morning in the Iranian capital, state TV reported, adding that Iran's air defence were at "100 percent operational capacity". Israel declared a state of emergency, with Defence Minister Israel Katz saying that retaliatory action from Tehran was possible following the operation. "Following the State of Israel's preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future," Katz said. Oil prices surged as much as 6 percent on the strikes, which came after Trump warned of a possible Iranian attack and said the US was drawing down staff in the region. "I don't want to say imminent, but it looks like it's something that could very well happen," Trump told reporters at the White House Thursday when asked if an Israeli attack loomed. Trump said he believed a "pretty good" deal on Iran's nuclear programme was "fairly close", but said that an Israeli attack on its arch foe could wreck the chances of an agreement. The US leader did not disclose the details of a conversation on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but said: "I don't want them going in, because I think it would blow it." Trump quickly added: "Might help it actually, but it also could blow it." A US official said there had been no US involvement in the Israeli strikes on Iran. -- 'Extremist' -- The United States on Wednesday said it was reducing embassy staff in Iraq -- long a zone of proxy conflict with Iran. Israel, which counts on US military and diplomatic support, sees the cleric-run state in Tehran as an existential threat and hit Iranian air defences last year. Netanyahu has vowed less restraint since the unprecedented October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Tehran-backed Hamas, which triggered the massive Israeli offensive in Gaza. The United States and other Western countries, along with Israel, have repeatedly accused Iran of seeking a nuclear weapon, which it has repeatedly denied. Israel again called for global action after the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) accused Iran on Wednesday of non-compliance with its obligations. The resolution could lay the groundwork for European countries to invoke a "snapback" mechanism, which expires in October, that would reinstate UN sanctions eased under a 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by then US president Barack Obama. Trump pulled out of the deal in his first term and slapped Iran with sweeping sanctions. Iran's nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, slammed the resolution as "extremist" and blamed Israeli influence. In response to the resolution, Iran said it would launch a new enrichment centre in a secure location. Iran would also replace "all of these first-generation machines with sixth-generation advanced machines" at the Fordo uranium enrichment plant, said Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, far above the 3.67-percent limit set in the 2015 deal and close, though still short, of the 90 percent needed for a nuclear warhead. bur-hmn/tym
