ITV’s Got the X-Platform Factor

ITV’s got the X-Platform Factor is ITV’s award winning research study, the principle objective of which was to address a key business challenge: how in a multi-platform world, can ITV understand audience movement around platforms & touchpoints, developing a content strategy for our programmes that could be delivered profitably. Our multi-faceted approach blended qualitative and proprietary quantitative research with syndicated data and has so far won the prestigious Best Research & Insights 2011 award from the Association of Online Publishers and Best Consumer Insights 2010 from the Market Research Society.   

The research gave us insights which enabled us to:

  • Measure a TV programme brand’s total cross media consumption: using a single source, validated against existing media research currencies 
  • Understand the cross media choices consumers are making and, more importantly, why 
  • Understand and quantify the benefits, beyond audience reach, cross platform distribution brings ITV, its audiences and its advertisers 
  • Identify the opportunities for ITV to extend its reach, engagement of audiences and programming return on investment and what it needs to do to take advantage of these 
  • The research created immediate business impact and now forms a cornerstone in our multi platform planning.

Please contact your sales representative for more information.
