Measuring the Audience is the key

“In the long term, TV networks desire a measurement system that will help them to monetize nonlinear TV ad inventory, as well as provide a holistic understanding of viewer behavior.” – eMarketer 2017

HybridTV offers completely new tools to measure the audience on a large scale. Gathering information about viewing patterns, most popular shows and average view times on house-hold level, with millions of contact points, hasn’t been possible before.

Combining the extensive audience data with 3rd party platforms to drive advertising adds unrivalled benefits for TV advertisers.
