TECH TALK
With the industry moving away from third-party cookies, Nielsen is rolling out an approach that shifts to privacy-centric, people-based identifiers for attribution. Identity Sync is a non-campaign specific tag that doesnt depend on device IDs or the browser ecosystem, enabling always-on, real-time collection of advertiser data associated with individuals, the devices they use over time and the online actions they take. In addition, it allows Nielsen to build deterministic matches between consumers and their ad exposures using persistent identifiers as the connector to each conversion event. Early findings have shown that shifting from a cookie-based solution to Nielsens solution provides more accurate marketing measurement. Nielsen noted Barcel Hotel Groups use of the Identity Sync provided a significant view of the customer journey. With Nielsens innovative approach, we were able to take into account all measurable interactions along our customers journey and uncover waste to better allocate spend in the future, said Johanna lvarez, Adtech, Analytics & Attribution Manager at Barcel. The level of accuracy that Nielsen was able to produce using persistent identifiers was unmatched, and we feel more empowered than ever to make better marketing decisions as the industry moves away from cookies.
TV Squared and Experian have teamed to offer deterministic TV ad measurement to media publishers, agencies and advertisers. TVSquareds technology will power the combined linear TV ad measurement offering, and Experians data and identity assets will be integrated into the ADVantage platform to provide more robust audience insights for advanced TV campaigns. Experian is the gold standard for marketing data that advertisers want to leverage and measure against, said Bob Ivins, Chief Strategy Officer, TVSquared.
