Nielsen New Zealand - Solutions - Products & Services - Media Research

In an increasingly complex media environment, marketers must target carefully and precisely, to achieve efficiency in expenditure relative to communications goals and objectives.
Nielsen Media Research is the industry currency for media expenditure measurement covering all key advertising media: TV, newspapers, magazines, radio, cinema, outdoor, online, addressed mail and unaddressed mail.
Using AIS, marketers can monitor who is advertising (from both an overall company view to the specific brands being supported), where they are advertising, and how much is being spent, all based on industry rate cards.

Imagine you are about to commit a large amount of money to a media-based campaign. How much should you budget in any given medium to not only match, but ideally surpass the competition in share-of-voice, impact, reach and frequency?

Who’s advertising, where? What are they spending, and what are they getting for their money? You need to know.

That’s where AIS comes to your aid. With comprehensive, objective input on recent and current advertising/promotional activity in virtually all media, from TV to cinema, billboards to maildrops.

Nielsen Media Research’s Advertising Information Service sets the New Zealand industry standard for advertising spend and volume monitoring. It tells you exactly where the smart – or not so smart – money’s going.

Duplication Report
Duplication reporting allows a comparison between advertising content for two groups of media. The result is a report of the advertising that has occurred in both groups of media during the selected date range.
Duplication Report Example

New Business Report
New Business reporting allows the advertising content for a group of media within a specified date range to be compared with that of another date range within the AdQuest Explorer database. The result is a report of the new advertising active within the specified "New Business" date range, which was inactive during the specified “Base” date range.
New Business Report Example

New-Lost-Stable Report
This report compares a New Business date range with a Base date range for an Client/Product selection, and categorises advertisers/products into one of three groups – new business, lost business or stable business. New business is that activity which occurred in the New Business date range but not in the Base date range, stable business is that which occurred in both, and lost business is that which occurred in the Base date range but not in the New Business date range.
New-Lost-Stable Report Example

New Business Exception Report
Similar to the Exception Reporting System, New Business Exception reporting allows the advertising content for a group of Media to be compared to the advertising content for another group of Media. The result is a report detailing the advertising, which has occurred in this first group of Media but not in the second group and which occurred within the New Business Date Range, but not within the Base Date Range.
New Business Exception Report Example

Burst Reports
A burst report summarises advertising bursts for a dictionary selection, providing expenditure, GRPs/Tarps, Duration, incidence, share, key number, day part and station details.
