NEW YORK, NY – August 7, 2014 – Marketing technology company Unruly today announces it is has partnered with Nielsen to offer a 100% audience guarantee against Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings™ to help advertisers deliver greater efficiency, from planning to in-flight campaign optimization to audience guarantees and post-campaign analysis.

Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings measures the true audience of a digital ad campaign by combining Nielsen panel data with aggregated, anonymous demographic data from digital data providers. Using this unique hybrid approach, Nielsen is able to measure online advertising campaigns of nearly any size, running nearly anywhere on the web. Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings has seen swift adoption by many large brands as it allows them to use the same metrics for TV and digital video advertising.

Unruly’s In-Stream format already delivers cost-effective, mass reach to over a billion connected consumers watching video content across the Open Web. And now with Unruly and Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings, advertisers can be assured that their social video ads were not just viewed, but were also seen by their desired audience within Nielsen’s dataset,” said Richard Kosinski, president, Unruly US.
“Advertisers continue to struggle to keep pace with the evolving landscape associated with programmatic exchanges. Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings provides clients with a deeper understanding of where their ads are being watched and provides an additional layer of comfort to assure they’ve delivered against their targets to reduce wastage and deliver higher ROI,” added Kosinski.
