NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solve Media (www.SolveMedia.com), the leader in guaranteed, performance-based online branding, today announced its collaboration with comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, to launch a first-of-its-kind method to accurately measure online advertising in a native manner. Native Insights research is collected in the flow of a user’s experience, similar to native advertising, and allows advertisers to leverage unbiased results into actionable insights in order to optimize their digital campaigns.
An online survey conducted by Solve Media revealed that brand marketers and market research professionals are dissatisfied with the current state of digital campaign research. 40.6% of online marketers reported feeling that online surveys take too long to show results. In addition, 60.6% of market research professionals believe sample groups are heavily biased. Native Insights research was developed to address these issues.
Solve Media’s Type-In network of over 6,000 publishers, across multiple verticals, creates an ideal setting for Native Insights research. Key benefits include:
- Survey Targeting – the ability to create and target specific audiences by brand preference and demographics.
- Brand Lift – by presenting users with brand attribution questions on a control versus exposed basis, Native Insights natively measures awareness, perception and purchase intent targets.
- Creative Optimization – advertisers using Native Insights can quickly determine changes in perception and sentiment on a per creative basis, and optimize messaging accordingly.
- Publisher Specific Targeting – by limiting the audience to a specific site or group of sites, advertisers can hyper-target an audience type.
Solve Media’s Native Insights research tool leverages a unique methodology that aligns with comScore’s rigorous standards and benchmarking requirements. In early studies, this approach has proven to be 200 times more effective at generating survey responses, and four times faster at data collection, when compared to traditional, non-native research methodologies. As a result, Solve Media now optimizes digital campaigns faster and more efficiently. In addition, by presenting research questions in the flow of a user’s experience, Solve Media eliminates the “natural born clicker” effect, which can sometimes produce user bias in online advertising research.
“We are proud to work with comScore. Together we are changing the way agencies, marketers, and publishers measure campaign effectiveness data,” said Ari Jacoby, CEO of Solve Media. “We guarantee performance for brand campaigns, and we’re excited to turn brand data into actionable insights in order to deliver campaign success in a faster, more economical, and efficient manner. “
“We’re pleased to play a role in bringing this new application of online branding effectiveness measurement to the market,” said Bryan Goski, Director of Marketing Solutions at comScore. “By organically integrating with the flow of the user experience, ‘Native Insights’ has shown the ability to quickly deliver superior sample sizes and help advertisers evaluate campaign effectiveness almost immediately.”
