Lack of hard data and projectable
measurement solutions
Old-fashioned measurement
tools don’t meet the industry
needs or drive business
decisions
Measurement services only
available in silos
No comprehensive view of the

Even though in today’s world the reach
by time of the day might not fluctuate
that much (people are active with
apps/web all the time), there are
differences in terms of how many
different devices, or with what level of
engagement (session lengths)
consumers interact with properties
Why multi-screen – so what?
Use mobile as the go-to-action
with e.g. locations & calls
Leverage desktop for search &
research
Make sure consumers complete
e-transactions when they feel
good about that (in office/home)
12. Which device platforms and models you should use for
advertising to different segments?
What time of the day works best for each device platform
or digital channel?
What is the actual reach you can target by using multiple
touchpoints, e.g. mobile apps enhancing desktop display
advertising? What are the most efficient bundles?
What properties and publishers over-index in your target
demographics, and which channels work best for them in
maximizing ROI?
What Are The Key Questions In
The Multi-Screen World?
