Of all the challenges some traditional media has experienced in recent years, it appears that radio has relatively escaped the disruption caused by the digital revolution, and in fact may be benefitting from it. According to Marketing charts and Nielsen, radio reaches more people in the U.S. than any other medium, with an estimated total […]
We recently noted that Facebook is partnering with third-party data providers to provide better quality data around the interaction between their platform and television. Now, both Nielsen and comScore are sharpening their measurement tools to provide data that marketers may not necessarily associate with either outfit.

O.k., we’re being a little facetious with that headline. It’s probably not much of a secret that cross-platform campaigns, which deliver a constant message across a variety of channels, perform better than single-channel campaigns.
