Comscore Campaign Ratings Now Integrated Into Basis Technologies for Comprehensive Cross-Channel Incremental Reach Measurement

Comscore’s ad measurement technology enhances campaigns activated through the Basis advertising automation platform

Basis Technologies, a global provider of media automation and programmatic advertising solutions, announced an integration of Comscore’s omnichannel ad measurement solution, Comscore Campaign Ratings (CCR), into Basis platform. Comscore is a trusted partner for planning, transacting, and evaluating media across platforms. Users of the Basis advertising automation platform can now easily access Comscore’s deep person-level insights for campaign measurement, validation, and optimization at the individual market level.

Advertisers face significant challenges in demonstrating the value of CTV advertising. They often need to negotiate separate agreements with third-party measurement vendors to assess impact when running campaigns on CTV or other streaming platforms via programmatic ad platforms. Additionally, comparing these outcomes to the performance of the same campaign on linear TV channels adds another layer of complexity. Comscore and Basis Technologies are empowering marketers to measure the incremental reach of CTV, OTT, and digital advertising alongside their linear TV ad buys in an automated manner.

The combined Basis Technologies and Comscore offering should help shed light on this just in time for the 2024 General Election.”
