According to Scott Hagedorn, chief executive of Hearts & Science, traditional, panel-based approaches to TV measurement are old-school technology designed for old-school media. He goes on to further share, Mobile and Streaming create a problem as nearly two thirds of this consumption isn’t being captured by traditional measurement platforms. According to Hagedorn, “if it can’t be measured, it can’t be properly targeted or planned against as part of a cohesive, cross-platform campaign.”
