Comscore Media Metrix Multi-Platform Reviews & Insights

We use Comscore Xmedia within the media department of our agency. We basically use it to get a total audience view of measurement across multiple platforms. Ideally, we like to see platforms/buys holistically versus separated out by platform. This is a great tool for not only planning, but also reporting and delivery potential.

Comscore is one of the leaders in the space when it comes to cross-channel planning/reporting tools. They are priced less premium compared to other providers who have the same capabilities. I like how there is a single identifier for users where we can measure holistically across different media channels for publishers.

The core use of comScore Xmedia was chiefly centralized and department-owned while concurrently being utilized by various stakeholders from across the organization. Public-facing, brand-approved insights gleaned from the platform were primarily leveraged and evangelized by one or two key departments.

The ability to drill-down locally is incredibly insightful. As mobile and other channels continue to improve, so has the platform and its accompanying reporting features. Data could be released in a more timely fashion so the numbers are more current and in-line with real-time viewership.
