The FINANCIAL — comScore, Inc. on June 3 announced the availability of daily reporting of unduplicated audience, viewability, and validation metrics for mobile campaigns.
These enhancements to comScore’s existing mobile campaign measurement offering bring mobile advertising into alignment with what is currently available for desktop display and video campaigns through comScore vCE. With comparable reporting and metrics for both mobile and desktop campaigns, media buyers and sellers now have a comprehensive view of digital campaign performance. This allows them to holistically plan, measure, evaluate and optimize digital campaigns, and to compare campaign delivery performance to that of traditional media, like TV, according to comScore, Inc..
“Marketers are increasingly focused on cross-media campaigns because they understand that holistic planning can radically improve efficiency in delivering against their target audiences,” said Anne Hunter, senior vice president at comScore. “This unified daily reporting of mobile and desktop ad performance will enable brands and agencies to more effectively manage the unduplicated ad performance across both platforms. With the addition of ad validation it finally allows comparison of mobile to other media, such as TV, and to better optimize their marketing mix.”
Enhancements to vCE Drive Multiple Benefits for Buyers and Sellers
Daily, Unduplicated Audience Metrics including validated reach, frequency and GRPs for mobile campaigns allow for cross-media comparability. Learnings from a vCE Mobile Charter study involving 10 clients influenced the enhancements made to the demographic reporting available on June 3.
In-App and In-Browser Mobile Ad Performance is now available, providing measurement on iOS and Android across smartphones and tablets. Learnings from the work done through the comScore Mobile Authorized Tagging Partners program, first introduced in November 2014 with more than 10 network tagging partners, influenced the enhancements made to the quality and granularity of data available for in-app mobile campaigns through vCE.
