  • Why Initial Standard Will Be Two Steps Forward For Out-of-Home by Joe Mandese (Planning & Buying Insider on 05/07/2024)

    @Ed Papazian: These are good questions. I've been aksing many of them myself vis a vis the U.S. JIC's push to certify multiple new alternative, but non-MRC accredted currencies to do exactly that: "Why bother"..."chaos"...etc. But that is exactly what is happening.With the exception of Comscore, none of the certified alternative currencies are MRC accredited for audience measurement.

    @Ed Papazian: What buyers and sellers agree to use for making their deals may or may not have anything to do with MRC accreditation and/or standards. Ultimately, it's between the buyers and the sellers.

    @Kym Frank: That's a question for the MRC, but I imagine it would look similar to how they do it for other media. Go to https://mediaratingcouncil.org/accreditation/digital, click the "sevices by metric" tab, click "expand all," and you can see all the footnoting there.

  • U.S. Consumer Time Spent With Media Fell For First Time In 2023 by Joe Mandese (MediaDailyNews on 05/01/2024)

    @Ed Papazian: Here's PQ Media's definition:"Ad-supported media are considered to be those platforms that generate over half of its revenues from advertising, while conversely consumer-supported media are considered to be those platforms that generate over half of its revenues from consumer spending on media. The lines have blurred, such as newspaper advertising cratering over the last decade, while circulation declines less deep; while most of mobile and internet spend was generated by consumer spend on access (broadband, wi-fi, etc.) versus the advertising behemoths that Facebook and YouTube have become."Readers should interpret that however they want, but it's a definiiton that has been used conistently for decades -- including by Veronis, Suhler & Associates before PQ Media -- to plot the shift in media economic models over time.The truth is many media have multiple revenue streams these days, and always have.The analysis is a way to look at where the perponderance is coming from.

  • MRC Issues Finalized OOH Media Standard, This Phase Excludes Audiences by Joe Mandese (MediaDailyNews on 04/26/2024)

    @Barry Green: A) The MRC doesn't audit publishers, per se, though it does occassionally audit proprietary measurement services of some very big publishers who want to seek accreditation for grading their own homework.Publishers still are audited by other independent trade groups such as the Alliance of Audited Media.B) The MRC is not overpaid.Based on nonprofit tax filings to the Internal Revenue Service, the MRC's gross receipts were about $2.6 million in 2022 (the last year data is available for).By comparision, the gross receipts of comparable nonprofit trade groups are:Alliance of Audited Media: $16.6 millionGeopath: $14.4 millionIAB: $35.8 millionANA: $61.0 millionThe costs associated with conducting audits are the fees paid to their party auditors. Those fees are not paid to the MRC.It's 100% up to measurement services whether they seek MRC accreditation, conduct audits, etc. It is not compulsory, and many measurement services operate successfully without MRC accreditation. In fact, most of the "currencies" certified by the U.S. JIC currently are not accredited.AAM ($16.6 Million)Gross Receipts: ANA ($61 million)

    George Ivie: Thank you for the visceral marketplace example, and for explaining how phase 1 is a building block toward a workable common denominator.

    @Tony Jarvis: Do tell, what are the flaws?

  • Three -- Or Four -- Planning & Buying Issues Worth Arguing About by Joe Mandese (Planning & Buying Insider on 04/18/2024)

    @Ed Papazian: We're talking about two different things in this thread. I was only responding to your comments about universe estimates when I referred to your TV centricity, not to outcomes-based measurement. Apologies if that wasn't clear.But all your comments affirm the goal of my column, which was to see if these are planning & buying issues worth arguing fruitfully about.I'd love to know what others think.And I'd love to know if there are other issues you think would be worth arguing about at MediaPost's upcoming summit on the subject.

  • Three -- Or Four -- Planning & Buying Issues Worth Arguing About by Joe Mandese (Planning & Buying Insider on 04/18/2024)

    @Ed Papazian: I think you're missing the point, because you are thinking in a TV-centric way. The point is the industry would be shifting from a TV-centric -- or a digital-centric -- way of thinking about the media universe to one based on the actual population.Whatever the margins of difference might be vis a vis a medium's universe (including ones yet to come, ie. the metaverse, Web3, who knows what), the point is creating an indivdual persons-centric framework based on the population of people who use media.That is the goal of the new standards.Adding this link so you can see the MRC's crossmedia measurement standards framework:https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.mediapost.com/uploads/CrossMediaMeasurementStandards.pngThe point isn't to create a new crossmedia universe, but to shift from a media-centric framework to an individual persons framework.

  • Three -- Or Four -- Planning & Buying Issues Worth Arguing About by Joe Mandese (Planning & Buying Insider on 04/18/2024)

    @Ed Papazian: Historically, TV audience estimates were derived based on the percentage of total TV households that are viewing television during a given period (households using television % = household rating). Ditto for PUTs (persons using television) % = # of persons viewing TV.The new cross-media measurement standards call for real, individual people projected to the total U.S. population (or relevant geo), not TV or digital populations.
