Data Science Firm Civis Analytics Extends Partnership with comScore

comScore announced data science firm Civis Analytics will extend its licensing of comScore viewership data. Civis uses this data to create custom audiences, which go beyond traditional age and gender demographics, to offer its commercial, political and non-profit clients greater targeting capabilities for their TV advertising campaigns. comScore viewership data also grants Civis’ Media Optimizer clients the ability to analyze TV engagement of these custom audiences on a more granular level and then optimize their total advertising spend.
