Isba’s cross-media measurement plan is too big to not work. But advertisers are restless and frustrated. 

The proven power of TV and the level-playing field argument are pretty compelling reasons to participate in Origin’s cross-media measurement solution, writes the ISBA-backed initiative’s CEO.

In brief: Origin, the UK’s cross-media measurement initiative, has issued a RfP to identify potential vendors to create industry television ad logs for UK commercial TV channels.

If TV broadcasters choose to be excluded, they will miss the opportunity to shape how their medium should be planned.

One of the UK’s biggest TV broadcasters has criticised landmark proposals to put an ad levy on advertisers in order to fund Origin, ISBA’s cross-media measurement initiative.

Despite advertisers being in “violent agreement” that Origin should happen, the practical problems of making it reality also came to the fore.

BARB’s CEO reflects on the progress it and Project Origin have made without the participation of the online platforms.

The IPA and ISBA have launched a survey into marketing effectiveness with the aim of benchmarking the culture of agencies and brands.

What does BARB think of ISBA’s new cross-media measurement initiative, and how will the audience research body’s progress in measuring the viewing of online video affect the future of the project? CEO Justin Sampson explains.

ISBA’s Project Origin has completed the first stage of its assessment of the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA)’s proposed technical framework for cross media measurement.
