comScore Demos Available in Mediaocean Platforms for 2018 Upfronts
NEW YORK, June 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mediaocean - the leading software provider for the advertising world, and comScore, today announced that comScore demographic data will be available within Mediaocean's Spectra DS national buying systems for the 2018 Upfronts. comScore is currently available in Spectra OX (national and local) and DS (local) buying systems and will continue to be enhanced to support the integration.
Mediaocean and comScore have been working closely to integrate comScore's demographics data into Mediaocean's end-to-end media management systems - from research, through stewardship and posting. Combined, agencies will have an alternative data set to advance audience buying (or targeting) capabilities that advertisers, having found success in digital, are now demanding from linear TV. "TV media buying is evolving and agencies are looking to use larger, more diverse sets of data to plan and optimize linear TV buys for Upfronts – the largest portion of advertiser budget," said Bill Wise, CEO, Mediaocean. "As an open and neutral software provider, it is critical that we give our agency clients access to more than just panel-based data sets, and allow them to use preferred data partners and alternative currency methods." "We have worked very closely with Mediaocean to integrate our TV measurement into their buying platform," said comScore Chief Executive Officer Gian Fulgoni. "This integration establishes comScore as a currency for the major ad agency holding companies, independent agencies and media buying services." The integration is available today within Mediaocean's Spectra OX and DS local broadcast systems, with additional DARE capabilities being released in fourth quarter 2017, and full support for Spectra DS National in first quarter 2018.
