comScore announced that data science firm 0ptimus will comprehensively match comScore’s television ratings and digital measurement with 0ptimus’ nationwide custom modeled audiences. Such matching will allow 0ptimus more in-depth political targeting on an individual basis across all marketing channels including TV and digital.

0ptimus, which works with political campaigns and brands to help find key audiences and target media placement, has been a long-time user of comScore, having utilized comScore local television data to develop analytics for election races. With the expanded partnership, 0ptimus will now rely on comScore’s television and digital footprint to match consumer profiles of individuals in homes to gain a full household audience measurement.
