For the first time, Comscore reports Colombia measuring browser and app audience activity on mobile devices
Bogota, Colombia, March 19th, 2015 – Comscore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, announced the Beta launch of Mobile Metrix® in Colombia for reporting on app and browser audiences on smartphones and tablets. Mobile Metrix helps publishers demonstrate the size and value of their mobile audiences, and helps media planners and buyers better evaluate advertising opportunities on mobile devices. Mobile Metrix was the first service of its kind to enter the market in the U.S. and it has since expanded to other Latin America markets in 2014 including Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Argentina.
“With so much digital media activity in Colombia occurring on smartphones and tablets, it’s critical to account for mobile audiences. With the launch of Mobile Metrix, Comscore is bringing insights into the consumption and behaviors of mobile audiences for the first time to the Colombian market.” said Alex Castro, Comscore Director Sales for Colombia. “This is a huge step to represent consumer internet usage in Colombia across multiple platforms and devices. Now, publishers will be able to get credit for these valuable audiences and media planners and buyers will know which apps and mobile websites are attracting their target audiences’ attention.
As part of Comscore's commitment to a global roll-out for Mobile Metrix, this version of Mobile Metrix in Colombia leverages census-based methodology by Comscore that enables in-market mobile measurement without the need of a traditional mobile panel. The output delivers person-centric measurement for all tagged mobile web properties and applications, making it crucial for publishers with a need to quantify and monetize their mobile audiences to participate in this tagging process.
