RESTON, Va., April 20, 2005 – Comscore Networks today announced the introduction of two breakthrough research solutions to meet the demands of marketers seeking to understand and maximize the return on their investments in interactive media. These services include Comscore Campaign Metrix, which comprehensively evaluates the effectiveness of online media campaigns, and Comscore Online Video Ratings, a new service to objectively measure performance among competing providers of online video content.
Integrated, Comprehensive Evaluation of Online Media CampaignsComscore Campaign Metrix meets the continuing industry need for improved research on advertising effectiveness, in order to maximize return on growing media investments. Based upon Comscore’s global consumer panel, Comscore Campaign Metrix fuses passively observed media exposure and consumer behavior with self-reported attitudes and intentions.
Comscore Campaign Metrix allows marketers to monitor exposure levels for all types of online marketing vehicles, such as display advertisements, microsites and streaming video, and use survey instruments to determine post-campaign brand awareness, recall, affinity and purchase intent. Additionally, Comscore Campaign Metrix can include analysis of pre- and post-campaign behavior to determine if marketing stimuli impacted consumers’ online activity, such as likelihood to search for a particular brand or visit a specific site.
“The industry continues to call for deeper insight into the effectiveness of ad campaigns—beyond basic shifts in intent and attitudes,” comments Peter Daboll, CEO of Comscore MMX. “By combining proven advertising evaluation methods with our integrated view of consumer intentions, attitudes and behavior, we can now deliver measurement and analysis to drive meaningful improvement in campaign strategy and ROI.”
