Methodology and Sample: CrossMedia Research™

• Based on potential exposure to campaign Using responses from consumers as to their media

consumption across multiple channels it is possible to build up individual media consumption profiles. This profile is then matched with the booked media plan (provided by the media agency), OTS (opportunity to see) scores are generated for each respondent in the respondent base.

• Respondent level statistical modelling From collecting digital and traditional media exposure

we create a “single source” respondent base from which it is possible to derive incremental reach and other cross media analysis.
