DoubleVerify & Comscore Partner To Develop Industry-First Cross-Platform Audience & Verification Measurement Solution

Measurement leaders announce joint product effort to offer advertisers an exclusive cross-platform measurement solution to solve for growing challenges in the media ecosystem

DoubleVerify, a leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, and Comscore, Inc., a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, announced a preferred partnership between the two measurement leaders to develop a best-in-class, integrated media quality verification and audience measurement solution to allow advertisers to seamlessly measure the impact of their full media plan.

“The industry is simultaneously facing three key megatrends: the search for more accurate deduplicated audience measurement, the mainstream emergence of streaming, and evolving privacy standards”

With this partnership, DV and Comscore will work jointly to power a new measurement solution that combines data from the DV Authentic Ad^™, a proprietary, MRC-accredited metric that verifies ads are fully viewed, by a real person, in a brand-suitable environment, and within the intended geography, with Comscore Campaign Ratings, Comscore’s industry-leading, cross-platform audience measurement solution offering deduplicated reach and frequency across TV, connected TV (CTV), desktop, and mobile. By combining the power of the DV Authentic Ad^™ and Comscore’s 15 years of measuring audiences across screens, the joint solution aims to allow advertisers to view campaign results across platforms, knowing the audiences were free of invalid traffic, delivered in-view and to the right geography and brand environment.
