Nielsen signs first NASCAR race team
As a pioneer in sponsorship measurement, Nielsen’s Sponsorship Scorecard service provides a “ratings service" to capture and report consumers’ exposure to brands advertised during each event, using an impression based metric. Sponsorship Scorecard empowers the sponsorship industry to fully actualize its potential for reaching consumers in a way that is both meaningful and unavoidable. Moreover, this highly sophisticated service provides the industry with a currency framework that enables the valuation process of sponsorships, as opposed to using a pre-determined set market value.
Beyond reporting household and demographic impressions, Scorecard also tracks number of occurrences and duration for each sponsor. All video and audio mentions are recorded and the location of each occurrence, such as the car’s front hood or pit road, is noted. Sponsorship Scorecard also distinguishes between sponsorships that appear in a stadium, arena or track and ones that are digitally inserted onto the screen.
