Metrics and KPIs Quality and Audiences
• Agreed core set of effectiveness KPIs, e.g. brand awareness / purchase intent • Better understanding of how online channels can work in combination with other
media for branding campaigns • Integrate data from online audience surveys with other media surveys to provide
cross media evaluation • Standardised post campaign verification of achieved reach and frequency as
originally planned • Industry wide accepted online measurement currency for planning and trading
Measurement in Europe: advertiser priorities
• Online audience measurement should integrate with and enhance other established metrics, such as net reach, frequency and GRP levels
• Audience metrics should be combined whenever feasible with data identifying the impact on achieved brand KPIs, such as awareness, brand affinity, and purchase intent
• Results should primarily be compatible with other domestic media currencies, and secondly with online audience surveys across markets
• For example, target definitions should be compatible by demographic and/or lifestyle segments and have consistent survey universe definitions (and weighting) across media channels
• Exposure measurement should take into account the viewability of display or video ads to deliver realistic opportunity to see (OTS) outcomes

US Market Snapshot l Slowly, viewability issues being resolved
● Oversight by MRC ● Marketplace factors
l Overall, volume of deals (in impressions and/or dollars) with viewability guarantees still relatively low
l Multiple rates and hybrid guarantees may be the “new normal” l Viewability being closely monitored by buy side even when
guarantees not in play
MEASUREMENT STANDARDIZATION: VIEWABILITY AND BEYOND

MRC’s Mission Statement
§ To secure for the media industry and related users audience measurement services that are valid, reliable and effective
§ We do this by: § Setting Standards § Conducting Audits to Verify Compliance with Standards.
Key Goals of 3MS 1. Make the foundational metrics for digital
measurement more directly comparable to those used in other media (Desktop Viewability Guidelines issued June 30, 2014)
2. Once accomplished, establish ways to more
effectively measure digital advertising’s contributions to brand building, both alone and in combination with advertising in other media. • Foundation of #1 must be in place to properly do #2.
MRC Digital Measurement Path
Currency Based on Served Impressions
Currency Increasingly Based on Viewable Impressions, with Improving Filtration for Invalid Traffic
Currency Based on Viewable, Human-Valid Impressions, In-target for Audience Characteristics
Prior to June 2014 Today Goal – Prepared for Cross-Media
MRC Worked to Reduce Marketplace Friction § Ongoing use of the MRC accreditation process to promote adoption of best practices in viewability measurement processes o Measured rates have improved significantly
• MRC has completed 3 phases of vendor reconciliation work designed to isolate all material causes of discrepancies • Led to updated Version 2.0 of Guidelines, issued by MRC on August
18, 2015
Forthcoming MRC/3MS Projects – Anticipated Timing
§ Detection and Removal of Invalid Digital Traffic from Measurements o Final Release expected late Sept/early Oct. 2015; integrating with TAG efforts
§ Mobile Viewability Guidelines o Interim Guidance Issued May 4, 2015 o In-Process – Expected Timing: Public Comment Q4 2015/Q1 2016
§ Audience Based Currency (Digital and Cross Media) o In-process — Expected Timing: Public Comment Q1 2016; Interim Guidance sooner
§ Engagement Metrics for Marketers • Expected to Initiate in 2016
• Digital Ad Effectiveness Research Improvement • As vendors step forward for auditing
US Market Snapshot
l Market awaits full vendor implementation of new MRC guidelines
l To complete viewability implementation, need T+C’s addendum and billing workflow and systems
l Desire to build more momentum behind the rest of 3MS as well as mobile measurement
Lessons Learned: The US Case
l Currency change is really hard l It takes much more than a village
● Empirical investigation – data, data, data ● Building consensus at all levels ● Ad tech expertise at every step of the journey ● Deal makers across the ecosystem
● Absent the deal makers, currency change devolves into posturing and negotiating
l Expect the unexpected: markets operate freely no matter how well you plan and execute against plan
