MediaRadar Integrates Independent comScore Data into its Ad Sales Intelligence Platform

NEW YORK, NY—May 15, 2017—MediaRadar, the leading intelligence platform for media ad sales team, today announced that it will incorporate comScore data into its Ad Sales Intelligence platform. comScore is the cross-platform analytics company that precisely measures audiences, brands and consumer behavior. With the partnership, MediaRadar will analyze independent comScore data and distill key insights that will benefit ads sales professionals. By providing MediaRadar insights and third-party data via one solution, MediaRadar will continue to deliver unparalleled ad sales intelligence to publishers.

“We’re excited to work with comScore to bring additional insights to our clients,” said Todd Krizelman, CEO & Co-Founder of MediaRadar. “Our users will now have access to more information than ever before, including audience demographic and advertising usage behavior which will further help our clients drive new leads, deliver more compelling sales pitches and, ultimately, close bigger deals with advertisers.”

”We’re pleased to be working with companies like MediaRadar to provide advertisers and publishers with independent, robust and granular data that can be used to make buying and selling decisions,” said Kelly Barrett, vice president of corporate development at comScore. “As the industry moves away from buying and selling ads based solely on age and gender, this advanced demographic data is critical when planning, negotiating and executing ad sales.”

With this collaboration, comScore data will be available to MediaRadar publisher customers through the Ad Sales Intelligence Platform, providing a more unified and granular view of intelligence. Key benefits of the collaboration include:

  • Access to Third-Party Data: comScore audience demographic and behavior data – across mobile web and online display– will be available within MediaRadar
  • New Recommendations: MediaRadar’s advanced artificial intelligence technology will analyze comScore data, making recommendations to ad sales personnel and helping them win advertisers
  • Greater Convenience: “Single sign-on” functionality will make using the two systems – comScore and MediaRadar – seamless, easily going from one platform to the other

MediaRadar is a cloud-based platform using data science to provide advertising sales intelligence on more than 3.1 million brands across eight media channels. The platform distills multimedia ad sales data into specific, actionable recommendations, brand analysis, prospecting reports, and more. Ad sales professionals, management and research teams use these insights to more effectively and efficiently pursue qualified leads, create high-performance sales pitches, and close more deals.

For comScore customers, the new features will be available to MediaRadar subscribers in Q2 2017 and seamlessly integrated into MediaRadar’s intuitive UI. This service will be included at no additional cost for existing clients of both services.
