The Interactive Advertising Bureau, the Association of National Advertisers, and the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A’s) used the IAB’s Fourth Annual Leadership Meeting, Ecosystem 2.0: The People vs. Data at La Quinta Resort & Club in Palm Springs, Calif., to announce an initiative called Making Measurement Make Sense, which is aimed at developing digital metrics and cross-platform measurement solutions to improve marketing and ease media-management decision.
Management-consulting firm Bain & Co. and strategic-advisory firm MediaLink will support the initiative introduced by the IAB, the ANA, and 4A’s.
The trade groups said the three primary objectives of Making Measurement Make Sense are: defining standard metrics and measurement systems that are transparent and consistent to simplify the planning, buying, and evaluating of digital media; analyzing the current digital measurement situation from a business perspective; and driving industry consensus around the solutions.
