Claritas PRIZM Premier vs. Comscore Ad Metrix

• Nielsens account managers are amazing. I could brag about my account rep forever.
• Get onsight training, it helps the process start at lightspeed.
• Importing external information into consumerpoint is tricky, but super fast once it is learned. I'm pretty tech saavy and I did it wrong initially. Formatting is finicky. That's part of why the onsight training is so great.

Ad Metrix is well suited for teams that are directly tied to sales teams as well as teams that use DMP and other platforms to help target and retarget specific users for ads or site visits/views.

It may not be as useful if the organization is not targeting specific users or isn't interested in their consumption habits and what competitors are focusing on.

• Segmentation.
• Media targeting and buying.
• Behavioral research.
• Purchasing behaviors.

• Site Analytics data - ComScore puts all of the stats you need in an easy to read dashboard. I don't need to search around like I do in Google Analytics to find out who is visiting my client's site, where they are browsing, how long they are engaging with the content. It's also really easy to integrate conversion data alongside website analytics. The webpage heat maps are also an awesome way to look at where people are engaging with the client's webpages.
• Infographics, charts - I love how easy it is to pull a client ready chart that I can insert into a presentation for the client to show various stats pertaining to their campaigns (e.g. most visited pages, most viewed videos, MoM stats on orders/revenue/average order value.
• Report Builder - Makes it simple to pull reports on site analytics that I can easily add filters to. I can get all the data I need in one report. I do a lot of presentation building for the clients on a monthly basis. This makes it more efficient for me to pull out sharable insights.

• I would like better projections for micromarkets, such as non US Census metro areas.
• Organic segmentation can be very time consuming, but it always is.

• Deeper measurement in mobile, social and SVOD/OTT
• Major networks are not included (e.g. Turn DMP)
• Reach/frequency tool only allows for input of demo guarantee targeting

It can be expensive, but the strategic insights you get from it are unreal. It is one of those products that we now wonder what we did without it. Segmentation is a must in whatever business and PRISM makes it significantly easier. We reviewed several synthetic and organic segmentation methods, including ESRI and k means clustering analysis, and PRIZM is by far the best.

The staff is available pretty quickly for questions, but are not really around in-person to meet with me and my team. They are able to solve my problems online and do work sessions as needed via skype.

They're both fairly similar in relaying data for us on our viewers. We've used comScore longer and are able to compare specific data to one another as well as competitor sites

• Definitely a return on investment. We have been able to make much better use of our media buys. We have seen conversion rates skyrocket because of the targeting we were able to do.
• Our media buys were much more cost efffective. An example is the TV listing pages of the newspaper was cheaper than the front page for certain segments.
• It has helped support expansion into a new market for our health insurance products.
• We are able to design products based on the populations needs and behaviors rather than what someone heard.
• We were also able to map risky health behaviors across our service area and target the unhealthy by zip code.

• I have not used the tool long enough to determine myself, but my understanding is the team has been able to drive growth and sales significantly through the use of the tool.
