Media Analytics Integrates Inscape ACR Data, Launches SMARTview &

SMARTlink TV Measurement Solutions

West Chester, PA, August 24, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Media Analytics Integrates Inscape ACR Data,
Launches SMARTview and SMARTlink, a Measurement Service for Direct Response TV Advertising

Media Analytics combines its proprietary ad tracking platform and data cloud with Inscape Smart TV
data to deliver granular audience viewership, engagement and attribution for direct response TV
advertising across Linear TV, VOD, SVOD and OTT

Media Analytics today announced its SMARTview and SMARTlink measurement services - a suite of
syndicated services that measure census-level data of household viewing of direct response advertising on
television screens, and analyzes downstream consumer cross-screen behavior and engagement in real
time. Media Analytics' cloud-based platform leverages a proprietary real time TV Tracker ad curation and
detection technology and combines it with Inscape's connected-TV data platform to produce a
comprehensive look into viewing behaviors on connected TV screens.

As viewing consumption for premium video content spreads across traditional linear TV, VOD, and OTT,
audiences become more fragmented and difficult to track and measure, which in turn limits the ability of
marketers and agencies to know the true cross screen reach, ad exposure, and attribution. All while brand
executives are receiving campaign performance data in real time via their online advertising, creating a
level of escalating frustration with the lack of speed, granularity, and consistency across offline channels
like TV.

Media Analytics SMARTview & SMARTlink solutions address this issue by providing the ability for
brands, agencies, and anyone else in the TV advertising industry to measure the level of TV viewership
and all associated attribution elements, and on-the-fly follow their online behavior directly to the brands
website to know deterministically the role each ad exposure had in driving consumer engagement and
conversion, thus delivering true ROI measurement.

We are now able to determine the true value of each ad unit within each campaign as well as the value of
each audience segment across TV and mobile, tablet, and desktop, stated Jeff White Media Analytics
CEO. Direct marketers can see if they are indeed reaching the highest value prospects at the optimum
frequency and they can understand viewer migration to the web for further brand engagement. White
went on to say, The days of applying rudimentary probabilistic matching models, such as TV spot
occurrence with Website traffic spikes, is a thing of the past. Using primal metrics like ad spend to
determine media reach and effectiveness can finally be laid to rest along with the buggy whip.

A year ago we set out to find sources of TV viewership data that were complementary to our own 1st
party data generation engine. We had three criteria: volume, variety, and velocity utilizing industry best
practices, said White. Inscape was the only provider that could deliver on all elements. They deliver
clean data, in near real-time at scale from more than millions of connected TVs where a consumer has
expressly opted-in. When you ingest this volume of data at this velocity and variety, two things matter,

receiving consistently clean data and having the ability to ingest hundreds of millions of data points and
know how to rapidly process and store them on the fly. Inscape takes care of the first requirement and we
take care of the second. Without this level of technical prowess you are relegated to using the same
manual error prone csv file-based workflows that every brand, ad delivery network, and media agency
utilizes today.

"Media Analytics is the kind of innovator we look to partner with," said Jodie McAfee, Inscapes Senior
Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "With a 25-year history in direct-response TV reporting, it knows
how to handle data professionally and the company is taking a smart approach to optimizing Inscape data
to shepherd performance based ad-buying in new and interesting directions. As we continue to grow our
panel size and significantly expand our capabilities, we look forward to sharing in this success with
Media Analytics.
