MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Ace Metrix™, the new standard in analytics for television and video advertisers, introduced Ace Metrix POLITICS™, real-time measurement of the effectiveness of campaign, issue, and advocacy ads. Ace Metrix POLITICS is the industry’s first platform to provide deep, actionable analytics on breaking ads within hours of their initial air-date. This groundbreaking responsiveness, coupled with large samples of over 500 potential voters, creates an unprecedented view of the political landscape by delivering insight into the performance of their own campaigns, as well as their competitors. This data allows clients to determine what ad to invest in, what competitor messages to respond to, and what messages are resonating with voters. That campaign-critical data is accessed via the industry’s most advanced and intuitive web based platform. Further, the company’s mobile applications ensure data availability out on the campaign trail, whenever an ad breaks. The result is the timeliest and most comprehensive set of advertising performance measures available to campaign managers, media strategies, associations and pollsters.
“In a rapid fire political and media environment, gaining immediate, reliable insight regarding the efficacy of campaign messaging has real, far reaching consequences for a campaign or issue,” said Jonathan Symonds, EVP of Marketing at Ace Metrix. “Because we score every ad with national implications we are uniquely qualified to tell clients what attacks worked, what attacks didn’t, what messages are resonating with Independents, what ads and messages are resonating with the base and who has the upper hand on critical issues like fairness. Having built a repository of over 400 ads since March of 2012, we are confident that this platform can deliver the same impact for campaigns and associations as it has for our expansive roster of Fortune 500 clients, which collectively represent 25% of the top national television advertisers.”
Ace Metrix has partnered with Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group (CMAG) for the acquisition of its content. CMAG’s advanced capture technologies and experienced analysts deliver the most reliable, comprehensive source of political content available – a critical part of the equation for Ace Metrix POLITICS.
“We are delighted to be working with Ace Metrix in this space,” said Elizabeth Wilner, vice president of CMAG. “Their proprietary methodology, exceptional usability, deep analytics and speed complement CMAG’s comprehensive analysis of placement, spend and role in the ad mix – providing an indispensable tool for any media strategist – campaign or cause.”
