Article #1:
Nielsen announced its integration with Scarborough’s consumer lifestyle and product purchase data of Nielsen’s cross-media measurement platform, “Nielsen Media Impact.”
As a gentle reminder, Scarborough conducts annual surveys of American consumers’ lifestyle, media usage, and product purchasing preferences. Joe Mandese, author of MediaPost article, compares the acquisition with GfK’s MRI and Simmons which conduct similar annual surveys. The databases are leveraging their media planning hooks to create more utility for other media research database, he adds.

Quoting Amy Gesenhues in her article in MarketingLand.com, Verizon medias new ad transparency tool provides reach cost insights and forecasting capabilities. Verizon Media has rolled out a new tool for its DSP users offering more transparency into the programmatic ad platform. The tool, said Verizon Media, is designed to give advertisers a comprehensive view of the programmatic landscape — showing reach and cost analysis by channel (display, CTV, DOOH, audio, etc.), ad format and exchange. It also provides forecasting insights. This feature will allow media buyers to see in-depth performance metrics, cost analysis for each channel, format and exchange and even forecasts based on those insights to inform their campaign strategy, creative and targeting optimizations.

Larissa Faw covers in her article on MediaPost how the mobile internet usage is reaching 800 hours a year. The mobile internet has expanded the amount of time people spend consuming media each day, reaching an average of 479 minutes, according to Zenith’s latest Media Consumption Forecast. 479 minutes represents 7.93 hours which is projected to increase to 495 minutes a day by 2021. That’s and increase to 8.25 hours a day. Larissa quotes Jonathan Barnard, head of forecasting, Zenith “Mobile internet technology has expanded both the amount of time people spend with media and what counts as media,” he says. “Media now means comparing prices on the high street, sharing jokes with friends and booking your next holiday, opening up new opportunities for brands to connect with consumers.” Despite so, Online usage growth is slowly decreasing now that most people in the developed world who want a mobile device have one, and ownership is becoming common in developing markets.
