605 in action

Our solutions are built on industry standard data

Multi-source viewership

Multi-source household level viewership data is received on a daily basis - Including Digital and Addressable

Deterministic

Utilizing our identity spine, all data is cross-walked and ID’s are matched back to persistent 605 household ID’s

Time Shifted Viewership

Our tech stack, scale, unbiased and neutral methodology is our guarantee to quality solutions for our clients

Nationally Represented

Data is weighted, corrected for biases and projected to represent the national US TV household universe

Big data infrastructure with the scale for reliable attribution

Built on top of our rigorous measurement infrastructure is our attribution offering. That employs a rigorous methodology that takes additional steps into account at a level expansive enough to ensure the detection of virtually any treatment effect large enough to provide ROI calculators - across platforms.

Outcomes Data

Enabling clients to onboard their 1st - 3rd party data or using one of our data partnerships to quantify objectives like sales, location visits or website visitation.

Matching

Using our proprietary, multi dimensional matching algorithm, we match each exposed household to unexposed households closest in proximity.

Estimation

By approximating experimental conditions in research design, discretion over parameter choices of the estimation technique is removed, thereby minimizing human bias and promoting parsimonious models.

Adjustments

Any remaining differences are analyzed via our proprietary algorithm to ensure that the significance is based on approximated causality instead of correlation biased effects.

Every day our system processes
large amounts of data
