Nielsen and digitalAudience announce data measurement collaboration for open web measurement in Northwestern Europe

Nielsen, a global player in audience measurement, data and analytics and digitalAudience, an Amsterdam-based Data Collaboration and Cleanroom platform, has announced their cooperation to power open web measurement in key international markets in Northwestern Europe.

digitalAudience will help fuel Nielsen’s demographic data starting with the Netherlands. The two companies have plans to expand their relationship into more markets in the region during 2023.

Nielsen will integrate demographic data provided by digitalAudience into the Nielsen Identity System to provide more scope and accuracy in Nielsen’s digital ad measurement for the open web, connecting digital impressions to demographics across millions of devices. Advertisers and publishers can use Nielsen Digital Ad Ratings with confidence knowing that the solution is aimed towards appropriately assigning and deduplicating audience demographics across mobile and PC platforms when a digital ad is viewed.

With this initiative, Nielsen and digitalAudience will further strengthen the industry’s ability to maintain independent measurement across platforms where availability of third party identifiers is on the decline.

Cecilie Westh, EMEA Leader, JIC Measurement, Nielsen: “Our cooperation with digitalAudience further scales Nielsen’s Identity System in Northern Europe, with The Netherlands as an important first market to benefit from this relationship. It also showcases our commitment to independent measurement and marketplace interoperability, facilitating an open ecosystem for the media industry, with audiences de-duplicated across multiple platforms. We continue to evolve our technologies and introduce innovative methodologies in the area of audience measurement. Key regional players such as digitalAudience further enable us to accelerate on this mission.”

Ruben Niet, CEO, digitalAudience: “We are thrilled to work closely with Nielsen in this important area for our industry Connecting our valuable data sources to Nielsen’s existing data, further strengthens the industry’s ability to maintain measurement across digital channels in a cookieless world within our markets”.
