Monetizing Media: Advertising Analysis and Research

The media business in the 21st Century is inextricably interwoven into the fabric of human society across world civilization. The age of using basic media-measures (such as GRP, Reach and Frequency) to identify media performance are not entirely over, but have evolved enormously in calculation and importance during the last decade of “digital.” The past, however, is not forgotten because techniques for measuring the popularity of Carol Burnett are still being used worldwide to qualify audiences to advertisers and determine performance of the media plan. The future, too, is also very clear. Digital advertising is the format through which, potentially all advertising, will be delivered in the future regardless of location, format, or screen/canvas/page-size. In these edges - where old media meets new media - massive innovation and reengineering is occurring from using data to create profit from advertising offline, online, and nonline.

Tying Demos to Ad Dollars: Best Practices & Set Top Box Data

TV Set Top Box (STB) data has long held the promise of measuring new forms of advertising, including addressable and interactive. STB data has the potential to deliver transactional datasets with census-like sample sizes.

To address this key challenge, comScore undertook a major research initiative to explore methods to attribute demographic information to STB viewing data. This session will provide a detailed description of the methodologies, identify the challenges and provide solutions for each issue.
