- “ESPN is excited to be working with Nielsen and Adobe as an early advisor for this initiative,” said Artie Bulgrin, Senior Vice President Global Research and Analytics ESPN. “We have a close working relationship with both companies as we are deeply invested in cross-platform measurement. One of the challenges in digital measurement has been the lack of alignment between site analytics and syndicated measurement data, and we will be working with Nielsen and Adobe to help resolve this.”
- “This partnership between Adobe and Nielsen signals yet another important milestone in automating the media industry,” said Matt Seiler, global CEO at IPG Mediabrands. “The ability to provide metrics to measure audiences accurately, allowing IPG Mediabrands to better allocate marketing dollars, across every major IP device is an important step in our quest to automate 50% of our media buys by 2016.”

As cross-screen viewing permeates all marketing, measurement needs to encompass television, desktop personal computers and mobile platforms, and this new relationship between Nielsen and Adobe will hopefully drive that,” said Kate Sirkin, EVP and global research director of Starcom MediaVest Group. “The partnership looks particularly interesting as a way to help measure the total viewing of a television show across digital platforms.”
