Wizzard To Use Nielsen Data To Verify Podcasts
Wizzard calls the agreement a "landmark event" for its recently formed ad sales unit, Wizzard Media, which will be able to use Nielsen//NetRatings data to verify the scope of audiences for participating podcasts.
"Our adoption of the Nielsen//NetRatings solution is a landmark event that brings a new level of accountability to podcast ad sales," said Chris Spencer, chief executive officer, Wizzard.
"It will elevate our participating publishers' podcasts to an entirely new level of consideration by advertisers and agencies as a viable, measured tool for reaching highly targeted, opt-in consumers," he added.
"Third-party measurement is absolutely essential to the future of podcast advertising," said Page Thompson, chief executive officer North America for OMD, a leading media agency. "From a media planning standpoint, it is critical that we have credible data from a known source. This will help us evaluate podcast advertising alongside other forms of measured media."
Wizzard Media was created in April to harness the Wizzard network, encompassing more than 8,000 podcast publishers.
