Principles

Principles

The advertiser community has identified four prioritised, buy-side needs from cross media measurement. These needs are balanced by critical, advertiser supported, industry requirements. This balanced set of needs should form the basis for the design and implementation of ideal solutions.

Origin will be working to the framework published by the WFA. This sets out a ‘North Star’ ambition And a set of principles to guide the evolution of any measurement system:

About

Origin is designed to address the needs of advertisers, who need to understand the true coverage of campaigns across digital and broadcast platforms.

 They point out the lack of either a standardised approach to video and display measurement or a common measurement approach across media, including broadcast TV.  ISBA created Project Origin, intended as a blueprint for a global initiative designed by advertisers to capture the value of advertising across media in a constantly changing consumer environment, aligned with the WFA principles. It has convened advertisers, platforms, broadcasters and media agencies in an unprecedented collaboration to drive this work.
