Omnicom Media Group and NBCUniversal Partner to Deliver Transformational CTV Reporting Capability

Omnicom Media Group the media services division of Omnicom Group Inc and NBCUniversal are partnering to deliver program-level reporting at scale across the network’s streaming platforms. This first-to-market capability leverages NBCUniversal’s NBCUnified Access (previously known as Audience Insights Hub) privacy-minded clean room technology to give advertisers visibility into where their ads are delivered and whether the content aligns to brand values information that is critical to spend decisioning but has not been available for CTV media buys until now.

“Connected Television is rapidly becoming the primary channel for consuming long-form video, surpassing time spent watching traditional broadcast and cable television – yet its growth as an advertising medium has been hampered by its inability to provide the same level of control, transparency and safety for brands as its traditional counterparts,” says Kelly Metz, OMG Managing Director for Advanced TV. “For that reason, NBCUniversal’s program level reporting capability is a game changer. Not only will it have transformative impact on planning and buying across NBCUniversal’s streaming properties – it also marks a watershed moment for the category by  changing the CTV investment conversation from buying the audience for the platform to buying  the audience for the content.”

With this capability, NBCUniversal is delivering on key priorities from the CTV standards published in 2021 by OMG’s Council on Accountability and Standards in Advertising (CASA) – a collaboration of OMG agencies, clients and media partners committed to enhancing quality control and transparency for advertisers across social, SSP, retail and CTV channels. Working with the leading streaming partners – including NBCUniversal – CASA is enabling capabilities that will drive category growth by making CTV a more effective and safer investment for brands.

“The future of streaming depends on media owners standing behind the value of their content,” says Dominick Vangeli, NBCUniversal SVP/General Manager for Advanced Advertising & Partnerships. “And at NBCUniversal we fully stand behind our content and believe that brand safety and quality are inextricably linked, which is why we are creating this new capability in partnership with OMG.”
