Meet The Disruptors: Jonathan Kriner, Director, Marketing | TVision

Where do you see more opportunities for disruption within your industry?jonathank

TV has a viewability problem, which, as an industry, we’ve historically ignored because there was no way to truly measure it. The IPG Media Lab reports in recent research that 29% of all TV ads are not viewable – meaning they air to an empty room. For a $70 billion TV industry, that represents a huge amount of waste. With access to new TV performance metrics like TV Viewability and Attention – data-driven brands will evolve how they plan, measure, and optimize their TV campaigns, beyond simply ratings. The way TV ads are valued will change, which is a huge disruptor for an industry that is ready to evolve.

What would you define as a successful, disruptive partnership with an ad/marketing agency?

At TVision, we measure how people actually watch TV. Our agency partners – representing some of the world’s largest advertisers – use our person-level, second-by-second data to create and optimize more effective ad campaigns based on real viewability. Truly disruptive agencies are using our Viewability, Attention and privacy-safe audience data to identify the best performing TV content  to optimize their clients’ ad spend – eliminating millions of dollars in waste for their brand clients. With TVision, these agencies are better equipped to measure campaign wear-out, ad effectiveness, competitor performance, and viewer engagement — giving them a leg up on the competition, and helping to build their client’s business.
