MELBOURNE, Australia, March 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

--Incremental Reach Reporting Measures Impact of Broadcast Video-on-Demand 
Advertising Alongside Linear TV 

ENGINE Media Exchange (EMX), ( https://enginemediaexchange.com/ ) a leading 
end-to-end technology platform and programmatic solution, and Samba TV ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3473996-1&h=1918947875&u=https%3A%2F%2Fsamba.tv%2Fbusiness&a=Samba+TV 
), a leading global provider of omniscreen advertising and analytics, today 
announced a new partnership delivering incremental reach measurement to 
advertisers in Australia to identify audience duplication and incremental reach 
opportunities across linear TV and broadcast video on demand (BVOD).

"As the advertising landscape rapidly shifts to CTV, marketers benefit from 
understanding the true reach and engagement offered by BVOD advertising," said 
Michael Zacharski, CEO of EMX. "By partnering with Samba TV to bring true reach 
and frequency capabilities to our advertisers, our on-Screen measurement 
product now makes it possible to compare BVOD and linear TV campaigns 
simultaneously to significantly improve campaign results."

According to Samba TV's State of Viewership Report ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3473996-1&h=3226201279&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samba.tv%2Fresources%2Fq421-state-of-viewership-report&a=State+of+Viewership+Report 
), 95% of all linear TV advertising impressions in Q4 of 2021 were served to 
the same 55% of Australia's households. This stark oversaturation of a 
shrinking audience further demonstrates the pressing need for advertisers to 
leverage first-party partners to understand the true reach of their campaigns 
and identify incremental audiences.

The partnership integrates extensive, privacy-compliant first-party television 
viewership data provided by Samba TV with EMX's leading proprietary data 
platform. The integration allows advertisers to quickly and accurately assess 
the full impact of their TV media buy and identify opportunities for more 
effective incremental reach while eliminating waste and duplication.

"By partnering with EMX, we have been able to leverage unique audience 
targeting capabilities across all BVOD channels as well as receive some of the 
most detailed brand impact measurement insights that we have ever generated off 
an omnichannel campaign," said Ben Lynch, Partner, Noisy Beast. "If this wasn't 
enough the partnership between EMX and Samba TV provided our client (Suzuki) 
with clear and valuable insights into the incremental reach opportunity that 
BVOD provides linear TV activity."

"Having been at the forefront of the CTV revolution in Australia, Samba TV has 
been a driving force behind the need to measure and amplify Total TV 
advertising through a scalable, programmatic solution," said Samba TV Managing 
Director Yasmin Sanders. "This partnership with EMX ushers in elevated insights 
that allows the industry to understand true incremental reach across linear TV 
and BVOD platforms to better optimise their broader omnichannel marketing 
insights."

With massive disruption in both linear TV and cookieless reporting and 
measurement, brands are struggling to integrate the siloed tools, metrics and 
strategies across environments. EMX and Samba TV's partnership solves for the 
disconnect between BVOD and linear TV by effectively linking these buys 
together, providing clients with enhanced reporting.
