UnrulyEQ’s testing solution UnrulyEQ Max draws on a decade of video data and over 2.2 million viewer reactions to videos to provide deep analysis of the metrics that matter.

This partnership underscores the importance of video in today’s media mix, ensuring a higher level of emotional engagement for clients across all industries, while also reassuring them of the highest possible level of brand safety,” Katie Allen, Regional Director, Multimedia Sales, Dow Jones.
The deal is the latest sign of closer collaboration between Unruly and Dow Jones, both owned by News Corp. Unruly and Dow Jones also recently signed an exclusive partnership making the video ad tech company the only platform to deliver outstream video ads across its digital media properties.
Unruly’s EMEA MD Jason Trout said: “We’re excited to strengthen our relationship with Dow Jones with this new partnership. The deal means advertisers across Italy, France and Switzerland will now be able to access Unruly’s data-powered video marketplace, polite ad formats and unique emotional data services, helping them to better engage audiences on brand safe, premium sites.”
