NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
(NASDAQ:PERI) announced today that , the creator of cross-platform Synchronized Digital Branding for the world’s most prominent brands, and TVadSync, a leading TV data and analytics company that is relied upon by marketers, agencies and broadcasters, will be partnering together.
Through this partnership, brands will now be able to combine custom and one-to-one quality ACR (Automated Content Recognition) TV viewership data, with Undertone's premium reach, and award-winning digital creative. Undertone and TVadSync will enable brands to engage TV viewers through their entire digital journeys, at a large scale.
“With Synchronized Digital Branding as the centerpiece of our offering, we are continually looking to expand its reach and delivery. Our partnership with TVadSynch is an essential step in that mission” said Dan Aks, President of Undertone. “Our brand and advertiser clients are hungry for the precision and real-time retargeting that the combination of Undertone and TVadSynch will deliver. Our partnership will drive the full-funnel engagement required in an increasingly fragmented view environment.”
Today's US consumer is no longer a single-source viewer. They watch an average of 3 hours and 35 minutes of TV every day, which is broken up by a whopping 6 hours and 35 minutes of digital time*. Sophisticated marketers are well-aware of this behavior, but struggle to create consistent messaging that bridges this fragmented behavior.
This struggle is solved by the Undertone and TVadSync partnership, by connecting user-level TV data from 18 million households - which is a significant scale - and using that data to trigger addressable ads on second-screen devices in real time.
Importantly, in a world of over-promise and under-delivery, Undertone and TVadSync offer advertisers and brands a first-in-class, multi-touch attribution methodology - providing the value of cross-channel synchronization from TV to digital.
“We have long sought to find a digital partner to complement the power of our large and growing TV database together with our enhanced analytics capabilities,” said Ronan Higgins, founder and CEO of TVadSync. “Undertone is precisely that partner. We make TV an ‘intelligent medium’ - and when you leverage that data and those insights into what people are watching, and fuse them with Undertone’s proprietary digital synchronization, something entirely new is created. The combination of TV’s emotive power and digital’s full-funnel capabilities will give marketers the synergy they have been hungry for.”
