-- Comscore introduces its advanced audience planning tool in India, going 
beyond demographics, while leveraging Kantar data

Comscore, a trusted partner for planning, transacting, and evaluating media 
across platforms, today announced the introduction of its Plan Metrix 
Multi-Platform product to the Indian market. This solution combines consumer's 
desktop and mobile behaviour with detailed information about their lifestyles, 
interests, attitudes and demographics for a unified digital view.

Leveraging this comprehensive view of consumer behaviour, marketers can 
generate stronger multi-platform media plans, identify advanced audience 
segments, and reach consumers across different platforms to achieve better ROI. 
In parallel, publishers can better demonstrate the value of their 
multi-platform audiences and can generate competitive comparisons.

Plan Metrix taps into Comscore's strategic partnership with Kantar that allows 
both companies to provide an enhanced digital media planning service to their 
clients. The product combines best-in-class New Indian Consumer survey (NICS) 
data from Kantar with MMX(R) Multi-Platform digital measurement from Comscore.

"As audiences increasingly gravitate towards the digital medium, it has become 
imperative for brands to sharpen their online targeting, to reach the right 
audiences. Kantar's New Indian Consumer Survey (NICS) offers an unmatched 
profiling of audience segments on demographic, lifestyle and product usage 
characteristics. Kantar and Comscore have come together to create a data 
fusion-based product which combines Kantar's NICS and Comscore's MMX 
Multi-Platform to provide a holistic and comprehensive view of digital 
audiences for sharper profiling and targeting" said Puneet Avasthi, Director, 
Specialist Business, Insights Division at Kantar.

Plan Metrix reports more than 300 different attributes in India across a range 
of lifestyles, interests, and activities, including automotive, beauty, 
electronics/computers, financial, food & beverage, health, home & living, 
retail & apparel, sports & leisure, travel and more. 

"We are delighted to introduce Comscore Plan Metrix Multi-Platform in India, 
giving our clients more advanced audience segments that are better aligned with 
how digital media is analysed and planned today." said Joris Goossens, EVP APAC 
and EMEA, at Comscore. "Our global partnership with Kantar has already had a 
massive impact and now as we move forward in this key market, we are confident 
we will be able to enhance our client's consumer targeting and digital media 
planning capabilities."
