MRC Issues Digital OOH Standards: Step Toward Unifying Digital, Analog
Joe Mandese, March 16th, 2017
The worlds of “digital” and “physical” media converged a little more this week as the industry’s media ratings authority issued long-awaited standards for measuring the audiences of digital out-of-home media. The 42-page standards document, which was published Wednesday by the Media Rating Council, define a standard framework for third-parties, including syndicated audience measurement firms, to develop methods and products that can be audited and accredited by the MRC.
“Adherence to these standards, coupled with a rigorous audit process, will help ensure quality audience measurement of digital place-based media with increased transparency, thereby benefitting the buy-sell process,” the MRC said in a statement announcing them.
