Google accepts Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings™ tags Nielsen Online Brand Effect™ to include viewability brand lift metric
SYDNEY: 2 JULY, 2014 – Nielsen, a leading global provider of information and insights into what consumers watch and buy, has today announced expansions to its online campaign measurement solutions, expanding the online industries reach and resonance capabilities in two important ways.
Firstly, Google have certified Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings™ as an approved vendor for audience verification services in Australia, for all ads running on YouTube, Google Display Network (Google’s display-only ad network), and AdX (Google’s ad exchange).
“We are thrilled to have Google accept our tags,” said Monique Perry, Head of Nielsen’s Media Industry Group. “The addition of Google in Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings allows our clients to capture more of their digital campaign audiences and delivers better clarity on campaign performance – it’s a big step for the online industry.”
Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings provides next-day results on how many people saw an online campaign. It also delivers demographics and confidence that the ad was actually viewed. Since launching in the Australia market 12 months ago, Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings has tracked over 400 campaigns, with each campaign averaging 11 million impressions.
Secondly, Nielsen today announced globally the launch of a new viewable brand lift metric for its existing advertising resonance solution, Nielsen Online Brand Effect™. This enhancement allows marketers and media sellers to better understand and optimise viewability’s impact on their campaign brand lift.
“Nielsen Online Brand Effect has developed a best-in-class solution for measuring and optimising brand advertising effectiveness online,” commented Perry. “By fully integrating metrics which shows whether people are likely to have actually seen the ad on screen, with metrics that show the brand impact of those ads, Nielsen Online Brand Effect enables marketers and media sellers to better assess viewability as a function of advertising effectiveness.”
These announcements, both of which are available in the Australia market as of this week, follow a number of recent strategic advancements by Nielsen which reflects its focus and commitment to provide their clients and the industry, with best in class measurement and insights.
