CONWAY, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Acxiom® (Nasdaq: ACXM), the data foundation for the world's best marketers, today announced its partnership with GSTV to provide advertisers with people-based measurement that will effectively quantify the impact of video advertising delivered through GSTV.
The partnership leverages Acxiom’s leading analytics practice and identity resolution technologies to connect audiences and transaction data in a privacy-compliant Safe Haven® environment for analysis of fuel station video advertising campaign performance. This solution allows marketers to better understand GSTV audiences to optimize campaign messaging and targeting decisions that ultimately enhance consumers’ experiences with the brands they love.
“The growth of non-traditional digital media channels has brought to light the need for more effective tools to measure campaign performance at the customer level,” said Chandos Quill, VP of Global Data and Strategic Alliances at Acxiom. “With this unique new offering from Acxiom and GSTV, marketers can now measure at a granular level how GSTV campaigns contribute to key performance indicators, such as customer acquisition, spending and lifetime value.”
The partnership helps brands and advertisers manage the complexities of marketing measurement at the individual level, enabling more acute insights. Acxiom Analytics provides a comprehensive set of capabilities for thorough measurement of GSTV campaigns, including robust reporting and incremental lift analysis, increased speed to insights and greater opportunity for campaign optimization via this direct channel.
The new offering helps brands determine whether customers were exposed to GSTV ads through person-based location data available via the LiveRamp® IdentityLink™ Data Store. Leading identity resolution technologies are then used to unify anonymized location and transaction data for a complete customer view.
The novel measurement approach allows marketers to assess the impact of GSTV’s unique video platform and control for other media exposure, enabling marketers to demonstrate the value of their GSTV media spend. It will also improve targeting and optimization by leveraging measurement insights for subsequent campaigns.
“GSTV is an addressable digital video platform that now reaches 1 in 3 American adults monthly. But reach is only part of the story – it’s quantifiable impact that matters to marketers,” said Eric Sherman, Senior Vice President of Insights and Analytics at GSTV. “Our partnership with Acxiom Analytics enhances our ability to measure the impact of advertising on GSTV, while deepening our commitment to advanced data solutions. We’re thrilled to be launching this joint offering and are excited about our initial collaborations with leading automotive and financial services brands.”
