We consume more media content on more channels and through more devices than ever before. And with the speed of technology, there’s always another disruption around the corner to change the way we choose to enjoy content.

Our media-measurement solutions help identify what channels attract which audiences. Our team has devised state-of-the-art technologies and rigorous methodologies to track who is watching what, where, and how they engage with content. You’ll be able to evaluate who is consuming what content across different media, platforms and devices, and know what the audience thinks about that content.

GfK measures the media people consume and helps brands improve the performance of their campaigns. We create industry trading currencies for television, print, radio, out-of-home, online, and mobile—and for cross-media measurement. GfK owns media operations in over 25 markets across the world—evidence of the quality of our solutions and the reliability of our technologies. Many of the world’s biggest brands plan, buy, and maximize their media based on GfK’s audience measurement.

We can also combine our world class media measurement technologies with passive purchase behavior data to close the loop on advertising campaign effectiveness. We have a range of solutions across the campaign lifecycle to help you build campaigns that reach your consumers and drive results.

Our approach - one size doesn’t fit all

2020_egta_insight_hybrid_measurement_500

The aim of our measurement is to follow the user on all devices for a 360 degree understanding of viewing consumption. To deliver it, we have developed a modular approach that measures viewing behavior across all devices reported in our panels. All these measurements are combined in our central One Media Platform, enriched and, if necessary, supplemented with census data and/or third party data.

We use different approaches ranging from the traditional - where one agency wins the tender and collects, processes and reports all the data - to the scenario where an agency provides some of the data; and finally, to where we connect the data built on collaboration, partnership and trust - not just between the industry and agencies - but also between different agencies. Key to all of our contracts are common principles: transparency of methodology, flexibility in approach and thinking, and adaptability to create a solution that works for each unique market. This increasingly means collaboration with other research agencies, data providers and other third-parties, an approach that has worked well for us.
