Data Science Firm Civis Analytics Extends Partnership with comScore

RESTON, Va., March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- comScore today announced data science firm Civis Analytics will extend its licensing of comScore viewership data. Civis uses this data to create custom audiences, which go beyond traditional age and gender demographics, to offer its commercial, political and non-profit clients greater targeting capabilities for their TV advertising campaigns. comScore viewership data also grants Civis' Media Optimizer clients the ability to analyze TV engagement of these custom audiences on a more granular level and then optimize their total advertising spend.

"comScore data has powered Civis' ability to deliver advanced TV buy recommendations to our clients across the public and private sectors," said Steven Baumgartner, vice president of sales at Civis Analytics. "By providing us with unique reach and frequency results by audience and ad buys, comScore not only helps us validate the efficacy of our analytics approach, but also enables our clients to deliver more personalized and targeted TV ad campaigns for both national and local markets."

"Civis has been a long-time user of comScore," said Pamela Baratta, vice president of political sales at comScore. "We look forward to continuing our work with the firm – providing it with our local television data to inform and enhance its clients' advertising efforts."
