About comScore/PMB Fused Database
Since 2010, comScore and Print Measurement Bureau (PMB) have released a joint
product offering that links Canadians‟ online media habits with print readership and
other media consumption data, along with product and brand usage, all in one, single
database.
The comScore and PMB databases were combined using a state-of-the-art,
sophisticated data linkage technique to ensure that the audience data from the two
original databases are retained as well as the extensive PMB product and brand usage
data. The fused database is released twice per year, in spring and fall, and is available
exclusively to PMB members and comScore Canada clients.
The following examples use the Spring 2011 fused database to demonstrate the unique
analyses that can be created using the comScore/PMB fused database.

As more dollars shift to digital in 2012, the industry will require greatertransparency and standard metrics for campaign measurement
Digital advertising spend in Canada is expected to total 2.6 billion in 2011*. Brands invest in digital advertising with the
expectation that their campaigns are being delivered and seen by their target demo, in geography, with the intendedreach and frequency, in a brand safe environment.
To better understand the current state of display ad delivery online, comScore conducted a U.S.-based charter study inDecember 2011 involving 12 national brands, 3,000 placements, 381,000 site domains and 1.7 billion ad impressions.Across all charter campaigns measured, 31 percent were delivered but never seen by a consumer, 4 percent weredelivered outside the desired geography and 72 percent of campaigns had at least some ads running next to contentdeemed “not brand safe” by the advertiser.
These findings, which are surprising to many, shed light on the need for greater accountability and transparency in thedigital advertising delivery market. In 2012, we’ll likely see far greater adoption of tools that help to validate ad deliveryacross a variety of key dimensions, such as visibility, audience targeting, geographic delivery, brand safety and fraud.These tools will allow advertisers to course-correct while a campaign is in-flight, thus helping to ensure ads aredelivered to their intended audience and that they actually have the chance to make an impact. Inherently, this will allowfor more confidence in this medium as an advertising channel and better overall advertising ROI. Ultimately, this type ofvalidation will help digital reach its full potential.
A separate Canada-based charter study is currently in progress with 4 major brands. The goal of the research is toeducate the Canadian market with local insights relating to digital ad delivery and validation.

Social is quickly moving from a supporting role to a key pillar inmonetizing digital
Social Media began as a platform to communicate and interact with others locally and globally. It has matured into a
driving force for brands, commerce, social change, idea sharing, news, current events and advertising.
In Canada, Social Media is the #1 category in terms of delivered ad impressions. The power of social led by companieslike Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are changing the way that Canadians communicate and share information onlineand offline. Additionally, it is opening a world of opportunity in the way that brands communicate with the market,providing a first-of-its-kind platform for a more engaging and candid conversation with consumers. Overall, SocialNetworking is a prime example of how interactive tools can change society. The power of social, and more so the powerof like, are driving consumer behavior and retail experiences.
The depth of engagement across all ages is significant, and a sign that social remains extremely relevant andsomething to continue to watch in 2012. Social Media’s potential for mass reach and power of persuasion are key
reasons why we see increased advertising opportunity through the use of paid impressions as well as socially-enabledadvertising. Its popularity on mobile devices is further expanding its reach and influence in daily life. The world is gettingmore social by the second, and brands can reap the rewards of this evolving consumer behavior.
Mobile is becoming a major channel for consumption of news

Smartphone adoption is expected to eclipse the 50 percent mark of Canadian mobile subscribers in 2012. As the mobile
audience reaches this significant landmark, amidst the growing level of mobile content consumption with existingsmartphone subscribers, marketers need to recognize mobile as an important channel for advertising and brandpresence.
Specifically, smartphones are beginning to impact the traditional sales funnel. The process of making a purchasingdecision may occur over multiple screens, for example researching products on the smartphone while out and about,before finally making the purchase online or in person. In order for marketers to successfully compete in this multi-dimensional world, they must strategize the best ways to reach consumers at every step of the funnel, which should
now include mobile.
Additionally, it is important to acknowledge that smartphones are becoming a significant part of consumers’ everyday
lives. Not only are they used for voice communication, but Canadians are increasing their usage with data, textmessaging, instant messaging, QR code scanning, shopping and much more. Over the past year we have seenamazing growth in usage on mobile devices as it pertains to: Weather, Online Banking, Social Networking, Retail,Sports, Video Content, E-Mail, News/Information and Deals/Incentives. This points to mobile’s ability to deliver timely
and relevant information to Canadians at the power of their finger tips. Consumer usage in all age groups are evolving,and it is essential that carriers, content providers, agencies and advertisers ready themselves for even moresophistication with mobile among the Canadian population in 2012. Whether through mobile advertising, mobile-enabledwebsites or mobile applications, it is going to become critical that marketers ensure they have a presence in the mobilearena in order to stay competitive.
Mobile is becoming a major channel for consumption of news,information and entertainment, as well as an agent for e-commerce
