“There is no doubt video consumption on mobile devices is increasing rapidly. This opens new fronts for advertisers and their agencies, and we have seen a proliferation of experiments with video content, formats, and delivery,” said Renaud Ménérat, President of the Mobile Marketing Association, France. “The ability to understand how, when and where the video content is consumed is key to ensuring the relevance of this communication channel, while delivering maximum value to content creators distributors. Within that context, the launch of Comscore’s multiplatform video measurement solution is a much-needed addition to the mobile industry.”
"Comscore recognises the importance of accurate, standardised measurements in our industry," said Emilie Chau, Head of Display & Programmatic at Artefact. "With the launch of Video Metrix Multi-Platform, we have consistent metrics with which we can finally understand where and how our target audience consumes video content."
