This opens new fronts for advertisers and their agencies, and we have seen a proliferation of experiments with video content, formats, and delivery,” said Renaud Ménérat, President of the Mobile Marketing Association, France. “The ability to understand how, when and where the video content is consumed is key to ensuring the relevance of this communication channel, while delivering maximum value to content creators distributors. Within that context, the launch of Comscore’s multiplatform video measurement solution is a much-needed addition to the mobile industry.”
