Advertisers All Over the World, Including U.S. DTC Brands, Leveraging Partnership as a Gateway into the European Market
EDINBURGH, N.Y. & LUXEMBOURG — TVSquared the global leader in TV attribution, and RTL AdConnect, the international Total Video sales house of RTL Group – a leader across broadcast, content and digital – have partnered to provide RTL AdConnect’s global advertisers with always-on proof of performance across more than 150 TV channels and BVOD (broadcaster VOD) platforms throughout Europe. This marks the first time a media owner has launched a European TV attribution initiative for advertisers.
“Brands that want to expand from U.S. into Europe can take advantage of RTL’s massive broadcast and digital footprint, and measure the same-day impact of those single- or multi-country campaigns via TVSquared’s global platform.”
RTL AdConnect’s global advertiser base can now leverage TVSquared’s always-on attribution platform to understand the same-day performance of campaigns airing across RTL’s broadcast channels, which reach 160 million consumers in 12 countries each day. From a single platform, advertisers can evaluate TV performance by day, daypart, creative, program, station and region. Working with RTL AdConnect, they can use those insights to inform optimizations that will maximize business-specific KPIs, including sales, website traffic, search, app activity, call center/SMS response and more.
“This partnership brings together the best of TV’s reach and campaign performance,” said Stéphane Coruble, Managing Director, RTL AdConnect. “Brands that want to expand from U.S. into Europe can take advantage of RTL’s massive broadcast and digital footprint, and measure the same-day impact of those single- or multi-country campaigns via TVSquared’s global platform.”

By partnering with TVSquared, RTL provides the real-time, transparent performance analytics that digital-native DTCs have come to expect for all media channels, including TV.
