✅🖥️ AdExchanger (10/11): “Paramount’s move represents a serious shake-up because TV publishers that use Nielsen alternatives (like VideoAmp, iSpot and Comscore) typically do so in tandem with Nielsen, which has been the foundation of TV ad measurement for decades. In this case, however, Paramount and Nielsen failed to come to an agreement in time for their contract renewal. Despite the strong sentiment, a break from Nielsen’s services isn’t ideal for Paramount. Advertisers and media buyers have leaned on Nielsen ratings since the 1950s. That (fact) has been spurring a lot of conversations on LinkedIn lately. On the one hand, Paramount could be a trendsetter. “If Paramount is able to do business using VideoAmp without [a financial] downside, then other programmers will naturally start considering making the same move,” media measurement vet – and VideoAmp’s former chief measurability officer – Josh Chasin observed on LinkedIn. “This is a critical moment.” Chasin was commenting on a post written by Marshall Cohen, an industry vet and media and marketing consultant. Cohen notes that Nielsen keeps its service fees high not simply out of stubbornness, but because its business model doesn’t leave much room for negotiation. If Nielsen lowers its prices for one client, according to Cohen, they have to lower prices for everyone. “This,” he argues, is very difficult with private equity owners, who don’t understand the business [and just] want better returns.” Still, Cohen writes, it’s likely a renewed contract will – eventually – put an end to the contentious standoff between Paramount and Nielsen. “Rarely, if ever, does a media company go without Nielsen ratings for very long,” Cohen says.” ⬇️ #measurement #streaming #lineartv #ctv #ott #tvos #acr https://lnkd.in/eNaWgx7W

The shift to #CTV is transforming television advertising.  With 75% of the US population watching #OTT video, and cord-cutter households now surpassing traditional pay TV, CTV offers a unique opportunity for advertisers.  The rise of free ad-supported TV (#VOD & #FAST) and performance-driven CTV ads allows for targeted, measurable campaigns.  Success stories from MNTN highlight significant improvements in metrics like cost-per-visit, conversion rates, and return on ad spend.  As CTV adoption grows, its impact on TV advertising will only increase. https://lnkd.in/d9rPKYuB
