ComScore has launched a new tool offering brands free data on whether their online ads are actually being viewed.
The ComScore Viewability service, which was revealed overnight, claims to allow brands to understand whether their online and video ads are actually viewable on desktop or mobile.
The question of viewability has emerged in recent months as a key one for marketers, who are keen to better understand whether their digital budgets are being spent wisely.
“Viewability is critical, but for too long it has dominated industry discussion at the expense of other metrics that also really matter,” said Dan Hess, executive vice president of products at ComScore in a press release.
He added: “We think it’s time to make viewability a table stake for digital advertising, and move the market forward to a broader realm of more meaningful ad measurement across platforms.”
The product will becomes available around the world this northern summer as a free, self-service offering.
