Integration Would Bring Together Innovid’s Ad Serving Infrastructure with Nielsen ONE to Simplify & Improve Ad Measurement

Nielsen, a global leader in audience measurement, data, and analytics, and Innovid (NYSE:CTV), an independent advertising platform for the delivery, personalization, and measurement of converged TV across linear, CTV, and digital, today announced their collaboration with the aim to bring simplicity and enhanced enablement to ad measurement. By leveraging Innovid’s ad serving infrastructure to access Nielsen ONE, Nielsen and Innovid would provide a seamless workflow, ultimately driving greater usability and coverage for cross-media ad measurement.

Nielsen has been at the forefront of driving cross-media audience measurement, and through Nielsen ONE is providing the industry with a deduplicated view of ads and programs across linear, streaming, and digital. The companies are teaming up to evaluate a ground-breaking zero-touch workflow that would let the industry, including advertisers and agencies, benefit from Nielsen ONE reporting seamlessly. The simplified workflow would increase measurement quality, reduce operational workload, and allow Nielsen ONE customers to leverage Innovid’s full coverage of the streaming universe.

Bringing together the leader in cross-media audience measurement with Innovid’s unique framework and unprecedented view of the CTV and programmatic universe would enable efficiencies as well as bring greater scale and coverage to Nielsen ONE. Ultimately, the companies aim to provide the industry with a holistic, comprehensive view of cross-media ad campaigns.

Nielsen and Innovid will be testing the technical integration in the coming months.
