605 PLATF0RM is a web-based application that enables advanced measurement and analysis of TV programs and advertisements across linear, over-the-air, DVR, and set-top box VOD. It capitalizes on 605’s multi-source TV dataset comprised of set-top box and smart TV viewership data covering more than 21 million households in the United States that is aggregated, deidentified, and privacy compliant. Using what 605 describes as an Identity Layer (or the highly specific attributes of the 21 million households it measures) 605 PLATF0RM users can select, activate, and target first- or third-party audience segments or datasets while protecting customers’ personal information. This includes providing clients the ability to bring their own digital content and ad campaign data for additional cross-screen insights, planning, and attribution capabilities.

605 PLATF0RM’s easy to understand, web-based dashboard supports planning, posting, measuring, and analyzing programming or advertisements based on demographic, intent, psychographic, purchase, or CRM audience segmentation. PLATF0RM empowers customers to move beyond the existing limitations in measurement by allowing them to analyze all time-shifted viewership across live, DVR, and STB VOD – covering recent viewership or going as far back as two years.

605 PLATF0RM is currently used by wide range of brands, agencies, and programmers, including Discovery and AMC Networks, for advanced TV planning, measurement, and analytics.
