Comscore’s Television and Digital Measurement Will Help Agency Create New Targeting Products

Reston, VA, October 24, 2017 -- Comscore today 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.

“With Comscore’s television data, we match our industry-leading consumer profiles and create custom models for our clients to use towards television buys,” said Scott Tranter, Partner at 0ptimus. “By matching Comscore’s television and digital data with 0ptimus custom modeled audiences, we are able to target on a more individual basis across traditional and digital content.”

“0ptimus has been a close partner since Comscore’s early days in the political vertical,” said Comscore’s Chief Revenue Officer Chris Wilson. “We look forward to continuing to work with 0ptimus in this expanded relationship to help them create new products that better define and target voters.”
