Cross-Media-Währung wird Realität mit Nielsen ONE

Das Unternehmen plant die Einführung einer einzigen Messlösung im 4. Quartal 2022

New York, NY – Dec. 8, 2020 – Today, Nielsen (NYSE: NLSN) announced its plans to launch a single, cross-media solution to drive more comparable and comprehensive metrics across platforms. Nielsen’s transformative cross-media solution, called Nielsen ONE, will evolve the current metrics that underpin the more than $100 billion video advertising ecosystem using a phased approach. The company plans to launch its single measurement solution beginning in fourth-quarter 2022 with the intention to fully transition the industry to cross-media metrics by the Fall 2024 season.  

More so than ever, consumers today have virtually endless choice in terms of platforms on which to watch their favorite video content. Nielsen data shows that between March and August 2020, U.S. adults spent 12.2 trillion minutes with digital, 11.1 trillion minutes with linear TV and 2.8 trillion minutes streaming—and these numbers continue to exponentially grow. As audiences move seamlessly between linear, streaming and digital, advertisers are demanding a single, deduplicated view of their audiences across all platforms and mediums. Concurrently, publishers want to provide more ad options for buyers and improve the overall viewer experience.

"Angesichts der sich schnell entwickelnden Landschaft und des sich ständig ändernden Verbraucherverhaltens ist es nicht mehr akzeptabel, die Videopläne unserer Kunden isoliert zu betrachten", so Doug Ray, CEO von Dentsu Media. "Cross-Media-Messungen sind von größter Bedeutung, um die Reichweite über alle Plattformen hinweg mit der richtigen Frequenz zu maximieren. Wir freuen uns über das Engagement von Nielsen für eine einzige Messlösung und ein einheitliches Rahmenwerk, das die Vergleichbarkeit von TV und digitalem Video fördert, damit unsere Kunden ihr Geld besser einsetzen und den ROI maximieren können."

With Nielsen ONE, advertisers and publishers will be able to transact using a single metric across linear and digital that is trusted, independent and standardized across the industry. With a single, deduplicated number, marketers will have visibility into total video consumption regardless of platform or device. Marketers will also benefit from a better understanding of unique audiences, the ability to better understand frequency and reduce double counting, inflated metrics and advertising waste. Nielsen ONE will also underpin the company’s outcomes solutions, thus enabling the industry to optimize media plans and maximize performance across platforms. 

“With Nielsen ONE, we are delivering a single, comparable metric for TV and digital that will provide video consumption across all platforms, services and devices. For media buyers and sellers, this means better monetizing their assets and maximizing their investments,” said Karthik Rao, COO, Nielsen. “Today’s announcement marks a major milestone for Nielsen as we put our cross-media vision into motion. We’ve made significant enhancements over the last year to turbocharge the tech and data science required to make an industry wide cross-media solution a reality.”

"Die medienübergreifende Messung ist eine Chance für eine ganze Generation und eine der schwierigsten Herausforderungen, die unsere Branche zu lösen hatte", sagte Ben Jankowski, SVP, Global Media bei Mastercard. "Es gibt schwierige technologische Fragen, aber auch einen sehr realen kulturellen Wandel, der stattfinden muss und der Sender, Plattformen und Vermarkter dazu ermutigt, eng zusammenzuarbeiten, um die Produktivität auf breiter Ebene zu steigern. Bei der medienübergreifenden Messung ist es umso wichtiger, dass wir unabhängige Dritte wie Nielsen und Prüfer wie das MRC haben, die uns dabei helfen, eine gemeinsame Quelle der Wahrheit im Meer der konkurrierenden Interessen zu finden und eine sehr verwirrende Landschaft zu navigieren."

Nielsen has already begun transforming its audience measurement solutions to increase resilience and flexibility. As previously announced, Nielsen is future-proofing its digital measurement, evolving its National TV currency to include addressable measurement and expanding connected TV (CTV) coverage to include additional smart TV manufacturers und digital video platforms in 2021. Starting in fourth-quarter 2022, Nielsen will release parallel cross-media ratings that will deliver metrics at subminute intervals for individual ads and content, providing greater comparability across platforms and ad models, along with expansive campaign reporting. Nielsen expects this measurement will ultimately become the foundation of the cross-media buying and selling process, succeeding the current form of TV and digital measurement no later than the Fall 2024 season.  

“Today’s fragmented measurement landscape makes planning, implementing, and validating cross-platform campaigns overly complex and increasingly less predictable,” said Adam Gerber, Global Chief Media Officer, Essence. “As we shift to addressable models, prioritize reach, and optimize to outcomes, it’s critical that we develop and adopt consistent, single-source measurement solutions. Nielsen’s new cross-media approach is an important step in delivering the confidence and transparency that advertisers require to support holistic campaigns.” 

Jede Innovation, die dazu beiträgt, den tatsächlichen ROI medienübergreifend zu erfassen, insbesondere plattformübergreifend, um ein konsistentes Reporting zu schaffen, damit die Nutzer nicht ihre eigenen Hausaufgaben bewerten müssen, erhält von IPG Mediabrands ein "Daumen hoch". Wir freuen uns darauf, mit dem neuen Produkt von Nielsen für alle Medien die gleichen Standards in Bezug auf Leistungsnachweis und Transparenz zu setzen", so Daryl Lee, Global CEO, IPG Mediabrands.

Nielsen has begun unifying its technology platform to help make its audience measurement products more interoperable, flexible and scalable.  This solves for cross-media measurement by embracing a “ONE” mindset to modernize its panels, platforms and products. 

• ONE Platform: Nielsen has developed a unified, cloud-based platform that allows easy integration and normalization of big data sets including automatic content recognition (ACR) data and return path data (RPD), as well as direct integrations with digital platforms and CTV providers.  It will also be underpinned by a flexible technology stack which enables large scale models using machine learning techniques and algorithms to more quickly deliver true comparability and consistency across sources. 
• ONE Panel: Nielsen will unify its gold-standard panels and meters into one single-source, geographically representative panel that will gather viewing across devices including TV, CTV, mobile devices and computers. The Nielsen ONE panel underpins its new ID resolution system to validate audiences and deduplicate exposures across ads and content.  
• ONE Product: Nielsen is simplifying its TV and digital solutions portfolio into a single cross-media product that provides reach and frequency metrics by delivering a holistic, deduplicated view of both content and ad performance regardless of screen, device or platform. A key component of this solution is a new proprietary technology that will measure every single ad on linear TV at the subminute level to account for exact commercial minutes.

Nielsen hat das Grundgerüst für die Bereitstellung ganzheitlicher, medienübergreifender Metriken für alle Videos entwickelt und legt weiterhin das Fundament, das die Ergebnismessung untermauert und Werbetreibenden hilft, ihren ROI zu maximieren. Da Nielsen die Technologie- und Backend-Infrastruktur sowie den Zugang zu umfangreichen Datensätzen besitzt, wird das Unternehmen rasch neue Produkte, Funktionen und Dateneinblicke auf den Markt bringen, die die Qualität und Kontinuität seiner Messdienste aufrechterhalten und sich an die laufenden Veränderungen in der Technologie- und Datenschutzlandschaft anpassen.
