"A critical ingredient to reporting unduplicated audiences across platforms at scale is having census-level big data assets that provide enough common touchpoints to determine audience overlap," said Serge Matta, comScore President of Commercial Solutions. "comScore's two-year focus on investing in, and building out, this massive, unmatched data is now enabling us to turn multi-platform complexity into actionable data for our clients. The granularity of our mobile data is second to none and will serve as the bedrock of our ability to deliver value to clients as they navigate the dislocation created by mobile platforms."

The benefits of leveraging substantial sample sizes from comScore's multi-platform data sources include:

• Accurate determination of cross-platform audience overlap across multiple device types.
• The ability to scale multi-platform reporting to an expanding number of media devices without the sample size constraints of using a single-source panel.
• Detailed reporting of media consumption for a large number of media properties within each media universe.
• Enhanced geographic reporting of audiences and campaign delivery by local market.
• Improved ability to perform statistically reliable campaign analysis for multi-variable audiences (e.g. health-conscious females 18-44 with kids)

"De-duplicating audiences across multiple device platforms has been one of the most significant recent metrics challenges facing publishers and advertisers in a medium where screen-independent digital solutions are proliferating. comScore's Media Metrix® Multi-Platform represents a big step in the right direction: MMX has provided us with a much improved understanding of AOL's large and unique video- and mobile-centric audience segments."
