Audience Profile is a planning tool that aims to change the way marketers identify which 9Now programs or Nine websites most efficiently reach their target audience, while Audience Explorer is a new and enhanced dashboard utilizing Nine’s first party data for campaign measurement.

“The next generation of Nine’s data insights and measurement tools bring rich campaign reporting and insights to the world of BVOD and publishing,” said Ben Campbell, Nine’s director of advertising & data products. “We are excited to bring these to market and look forward to introducing digital audio soon.” 

The platform will provide greater insights into audiences and be a game changer for people-based marketing solutions. For example, marketers can select Women 35-49 and be able to make informed decisions around which Nine shows and websites deliver that audience with the greatest reach and efficiency.

Alternatively, the interactive dashboards can be used to profile audiences of a show or site such as 100% Footy NRL; filter by index and see exactly which audiences most highly index against that content.

Sitting alongside Audience Profile will be Nine’s new and enhanced Audience Explorer campaign measurement dashboard, which will help brands better understand more about the users who saw their campaigns. The platform allows clients to access key metrics including delivered spend plus impressions, average CPM, unique user reach and cost per reach, with new charts plotting the metrics day-by-day throughout the duration of the campaign. 

Marketers can filter by uniques to see a detailed profile of audiences exposed to the campaign or filter by click through rate to understand who engaged.

The announcements were made during today’s Big Ideas Store session, with the panel consisting of ADMA’s head of regulatory & advocacy advisory Sarla Fernando, ThinkPremiumDigital general manager Venessa Hunt, Nine’s director of advertising & data products Ben Campbell, and Nine’s director of audience and automation Jordan King.
