TiVo Ads has selected Happydemics as its official brand lift measurement partner across Europe to analyze ad performance. This integration provides advertisers with independent feedback on television home screen and digital campaign effectiveness.
Why it matters
Brands are increasingly demanding third-party evidence of media investment outcomes to ensure creative resonates with target audiences. By integrating this feedback during active campaigns, advertisers can reallocate budgets toward high-performing assets.
This partnership spans the entire European region for all TiVo Ads digital and television home screen inventory. The scale of the integration aims to provide independent performance evidence for advertisers compared to legacy, non-independent reporting methods.
