Nielsen Digital Ad Ratings is a necessary measurement tool for online campaigns as it enables advertisers and agencies to improve the on-target reach of their digital media, particularly at a time when ad-fraud is such an issue in the industry. The advertisers we have run DAR campaigns with, in the UAE have seen significant improvements in efficiency at reaching the right target audiences, said Sarah Messer, Director Media – Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan, Nielsen.
As more people watch video across digital platforms and devices, Nielsens comprehensive measurement of YouTube through Digital Ad Ratings is crucial to providing a complete picture of media consumption. This is particularly important for a country like the UAE since YouTube viewing is a large share of video advertising spends. We are proud to be able to provide the market with an independent view of the audience for advertising on YouTube in the context of the wider viewing landscape, she added.
