MUMBAI: US media research company Nielsen and Zenith Media Services have announced that Zenith will incorporate data from a broad suite of Nielsen measurement services into its advertising planning and ROI analyses, enabling it to offer unique insight into advertising performance across the "three screens" of television, internet and mobile devices.

 

The agreement, which includes the first subscription to The Nielsen Out-of-Home Report, a service of Nielsen & Integrated Media Measurement Inc (IMMI), gives Zenith Media a package of measurement-related planning and analytical tools.

The services being adopted by Zenith Media are all part of Nielsen's Anytime Anywhere Media Measurement (A2/M2) initiative, which was launched by Nielsen in response to the expansion of TV programming to a variety of digital platforms. A2/M2 will allow Nielsen and its clients to "follow the video" to multiple media delivery systems, both inside and outside the home.

 
Zenith Media vice chairman Peggy Green says, "We believe that it isn't about linear television anymore. It is about following video content, content that can be viewed out of the home, on the net and on-mobile devices. We believe that Nielsen's skill in media research will help us understand the depth and breadth of audiences across multiple platforms. This is just one step we are taking to master the new world of video content."

Nielsen US EVP (client services) Sara Erichson says, "The rapid development of digital technology now allows people to watch television whenever they want, wherever they want and on whatever screen they want. Now more than ever, our clients need new tools to understand how people are consuming media so they can improve the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We are delighted to work with Zenith Media, which, by availing themselves of this most comprehensive suite of services, will be at the cutting edge of advertising planning and analysis."

The Nielsen Out-of-Home Report will give Zenith Media access to an all-electronic cell phone-based service that provides metrics for television viewing that occurs outside of the home in bars, hotels, airports and other locations. The service will provide programme, time-period, and market break reports to help clients understand and analyse the out-of-home audience.

Nielsen Online recently launched this service to measure and identify the amount of television and other video programming being viewed over the internet. This syndicated online video measurement service combines patented panel and census research methodologies to provide an accurate count of viewing activity and engagement paired with in-depth demographic reporting.
