Ensure sponsorship success

Measure sponsor value in all of its forms. Go beyond traditional media measurement - our consumer insight tools can also tell you if awareness and affinity generated by a sponsorship is translating to key brand drivers that lead to new business.

Drive partner value by making brand exposure clear and credible, with our proprietary image recognition software. Track the source, duration and quality of each and every brand exposure across TV, press and social. Convert exposure into value with our Brand Impact Score, assessing each brand exposure on five critical metrics: frequency, duration, size, location and degree of clutter.

  • TV exposure
  • Press coverage
  • Digital content
  • Partner awareness
  • Brand perception impact
  • Consideration uplift
  • Asset & partnership valuation
  • Brand fit analysis
