Julien Rosanvallon will address these issues alongside Marianne Le Vavasseur, Digital Director at Kantar Media, during the roundtable discussion “ What Are We Really Measuring?”.

His presentation will provide an opportunity to discuss MediaReach, the system developed by Médiamétrie to address a major market challenge: measuring the performance of video advertising campaigns across different screens—from linear television to digital platforms—in a standardized way.

MediaReach, a common advertising measurement standard across all video environments

Faced with fragmented user behavior, advertisers, agencies, and media buyers need a consolidated view of their campaigns’ performance, regardless of the delivery environment.

MediaReach was designed to meet this need and enable the measurement of video campaigns across all relevant screens and environments.

Rather than relying on a single indicator, the system is based on six common metrics, ranging from valid impressions to 100% completed impressions, including the various viewability viewability The definition of viewability tells us when an ad delivered to the screen can actually be considered visible to the user. An ad that is counted as delivered is not necessarily visible to the user. Find out more quartiles at 25%, 50%, and 75%.

This approach provides a standardized view of a campaign’s performance—particularly in terms of contacts, reach reach Reach is the term used to describe the reach achieved by a medium, publication, advertisement or campaign. It corresponds to the number of users reached and is therefore quantitative data. Reach plays a key role in measuring return on investment. It is used to determine whether or not the communication is effective. Whether for a website or a social network, reach corresponds to the proportion of the Internet user population or the audience reached by the site or network over a set period.
