Why Measure Outdoor Advertising

Outdoor advertising accounts for less than 5% of total ad spend due to lack of a reliable audience measurement system. – ACNielsen

In spite of tremendous growth, outdoor advertising is undervalued

Rates will go up by 50-100%, matching local TV rates with the introduction of accurate measurement tools

video analytics technology accurately captures, tracks and analyzes faces, generating real-time audience data:

How many How long Who (Gender, Age group, Ethnicity) What did they see (Sync with playlist) Opportunity to See (OTS) total footfall

Statistical Sampling

For statistical sampling it is sufficient to install iCapture on 5%-20% - applicable for networks with no less than 100 screense.g. - network with 500 screens, installation on

80 screens is sufficient - network with 30 screens must install on

all 30 screens For PROM feature, iCapture must be

installed on each individual screen

Vision

TruMedia will do for out-of-home advertising, what Nielsen did for TV advertising.

If the 20th century was known in marketing circles as the

advertising century, the 21st may be the advertising

measurement century.
