IRI and Alphonso Combine Industry's Largest TV Data Set With Consumer Shopping Data for Cross-Platform Sales Attribution MeasurementTV data company Alphonso and IRI® today announced a partnership through which the companies will work together to provide advanced TV measurement solutions to brands seeking better ways to understand the true impact of their TV and digital advertising. Real-time TV audience viewership data from 34 million U.S. households will now inform ad measurement reporting provided through IRI Lift™, a media measurement solution that integrates IRI's vast point-of-sale, frequent shopper, causal and media exposure data to empower marketers to fully understand actual in-store sales-lift impact of ad spend in real time throughout a campaign, rather than only after. By combining Alphonso's granular TV ad-occurrence data from more than 200 broadcast and cable networks with IRI Lift, IRI can now track consumer purchases back to precise TV ad exposures and help its clients understand the impact of TV campaigns as well as the overall impact when combined with digital ad campaigns. Alphonso's ad-occurrence data is indexed in real time, giving IRI immediate access to viewership insights for every ad airing on TV as well as which households have been exposed to them, designed with privacy protections built in. The speed with which Alphonso data is ingested and indexed enables rapid reporting for brands that can now accurately pinpoint the households most likely to respond to their advertising. Ashish Chordia, chief executive officer for Alphonso, said, "Working with an industry leader like IRI, Alphonso TV data can now create a powerful connection between specific TV ad creatives and specific consumer product purchases. It's a challenge that has left marketers in the dark for too long - did my TV ad perform in driving sales of my product? Which creatives are moving the most products on which networks? Pairing our TV data with IRI's consumer shopping data, we can now answer these questions." "When a potential customer is interrupted by ads selling things they have no interest in, their time is being wasted," said Nishat Mehta, president of the IRI Media Center of Excellence. "However, when an ad is precisely matched to its target market, the experience of seeing that ad is completely different. As digital ads become more relevant, Alphonso and IRI set out to understand how we could similarly improve consumers' experience with TV media. We are excited to work with Alphonso to ensure that TV ads engage consumers with information they can use." IRI, a global leader in big data and analytics solutions and services for consumer, retail and media companies, is the newest partner leveraging Alphonso's rich TV audience data, one of the largest TV data sets in the industry. Alhonso TV data already powers TV ad campaign insights for thousands of brand marketers across all brand categories through its Alphonso Insights SaaS (News - Alert) product, freely available at insights.alphonso.tv.
