All TV Advertisers Can Now Tap Visual IQ to Measure TV Advertising’s Impact on Business Outcomes
NEEDHAM, Mass. – Visual IQ, the leading cross channel marketing attribution software provider, announced enhancements to its TV Attribution offering, part of the award winning IQ Intelligence Suite. The upgrades, which allow advertisers to upload their own TV impression and cost data into Visual IQ’s robust platform for modeling, will provide more advertisers with the tools they’ve been lacking to measure TV advertising’s immediate impact on digital responses, such as leads, sales, website visits, and other digital brand engagement activities.
“The ability to model their own data will arm all marketers, regardless of their television advertising strategy, with the insight they need to understand TV advertising’s impact on driving actual digital responses.”
The enhancements to TV Attribution are the latest upgrades to IQ Envoy, a core product within the IQ Intelligence Suite that calculates TrueMetrics™ that reflect the true impact every marketing channel and tactic has on achieving marketing goals. TV Attribution uses a multi-dimensional modeling approach to calculate the TrueMetrics produced by your TV advertising and each of its specific dimensions (network, program, DMA, daypart, spot length, pod position, etc.). TV advertisers can use these granular insights to analyze the true impact of TV on triggering a business outcome within weeks of a spot airing, to adjust creative rotations by network or program based on performance, and to inform their TV buy negotiations.
The new capabilities augment Visual IQ’s existing TV Attribution solution, which leverages advertisers’ granular TV impression data from Rentrak, a provider of worldwide consumer viewership information, to measure TV’s impact on digital responses. While data provided by Rentrak is perfect for advertisers who invest heavily in national TV buys and do not have access to their own TV impression data, the enhanced solution now extends to advertisers who invest more in local TV buys, as well as long-form TV advertising, such as infomercials.
“Advanced attribution has made it much easier for advertisers to understand TV performance – a historically difficult channel to measure against a business outcome. Prior to TV Attribution, TV buyers were limited to measuring the reach of their ads via Gross Rating Points (GRPs),” said Manu Mathew, co-founder and CEO of Visual IQ. “The ability to model their own data will arm all marketers, regardless of their television advertising strategy, with the insight they need to understand TV advertising’s impact on driving actual digital responses.”
The new TV Attribution features are available today. To learn more about TV Attribution or the IQ Intelligence Suite, please visit visualiq.com.
