BEIRUT - Monday, November 18th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE) In 2014, GfK will start delivering daily data on television
audiences in Lebanon. Details on the new system and its analytic
solutions were presented to the members of the Lebanese Joint Industry
Committee (JICMR) on November 15th. In addition to the JIC members, the
meeting was also attended by a large number of professionals from
Lebanese TV stations and from leading media agencies and media buyers.
GfK
will bring a new system for television audience measurement (TAM) to
Lebanon – one that uses state-of-the-art technology to measure live and
time-shifted TV consumption. The service is based on an electronic
system called TV Logger, which is installed in several hundred homes
across the country. The sample of the participating households was
founded on a recently conducted extensive establishment survey that
covered over 4400 household, to guarantee an accurate and in-depth
picture of TV usage in Lebanon.
During the presentation, GfK
shared detailed information on the establishment survey, as well as the
technical specifications of the TV Logger system, and quality assurance
parameters. Especially interesting for the participants was the
reporting and media planning software Evogenius. The software is part of
the new offering and enables detailed analysis of the media usage data
provided by GfK. Additional modules for advertising planning offer the
ability to forecast TV viewing behavior for optimized campaigns,
together with tools for post-analysis reporting.
Tomas Krasny,
Regional Lead for GfK’s Audience Measurement activities in CEE-META
region, commented: "We are delighted that we had the opportunity to
present our new offering and about the positive feedback we received.
Our new television audience measurement system in Lebanon is the latest
initiative of GfK Media Research Middle East (GfK MRME) and part of the
regional implementation of our global strategy. GfK is proud to bring
its 40 years of experience in audience measurement to the country.”
Tarek
Ammar, Member of the Board of GfK MRME, added: "For almost one year, an
international GfK team worked hard to support us with the technological
set-up, and their expertise helped us to make our regional vision a
reality. Our TAM system will bring a high degree of reliability and
transparency for the market. We will not stop here and, in the near
future, you will see much more such initiatives in the region.”
