Netflix Had Greatest Ad-Exposed Reach in April while Best Day Travel Delivered Highest Number of Advertiser Impressions

Mexico City, Mexico, June 17, 2013 – Comscore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today released the latest insights on the display advertising market in Mexico from its Comscore Ad Metrix service launched in March this year. The breakthrough service offers advertisers, agencies and publishers comprehensive insights into where display ad impressions appear online, the demographic composition of the audiences reached, along with traditional advertising metrics such as reach/frequency and GRPs.

Results from the debut report found that 22 billion display ads were delivered to the Mexican online population during April this year. Netflix, Inc. led with the largest advertising exposed population in April 2013; while Best Day Travel and Microsoft Corporation ranked as the top display advertisers with each delivering more than 300 million impressions.

Comscore Ad Metrix provides actionable insights for advertisers and agencies to optimize display ad campaigns, while supplying publishers with important third-party validation to support ad sales efforts.

Key product features include:

  • Measurement of display ad impressions based on delivery to actual people, as opposed to cookies or spiders.
  • A full range of advertising metrics that provide insights into ad spend, share of voice, ad clutter, ad-exposed audience, reach/frequency and GRPs.
  • View of the actual creative used by advertisers, including information such as ad type and size.
  • Insights into socially-enabled and socially-published ads.
  • Granular classification that provides the ability to analyze advertising at the brand, category or product-level.

With the launch of Ad Metrix in Mexico in March, Netflix, Inc. ranked as the biggest advertiser during that month with 463.8 million display ad impressions delivered, reaching more than 18 million people. “As the digital agency of record for Netflix in Latin America, having a tool like Comscore Ad Metrix is critical for optimizing our advertising placement strategies.” said Gaston Taratuta, IMS Internet Media Services, President and Founder, whose company is Netflix's digital agency for the region. “The availability of important media planning metrics such as demographics, reach, frequency and GRPs, in addition to detailed views of advertising creative and competitive intelligence, helps ensure that we can make sound placement decisions based on a trusted data source.”
