The product, AdMeasure, gives the average audience size for any magazine ad that takes up more than a third of a page, across nearly 650 consumer magazines tracked by the company. Categories Archives Popular ■ ■ ■ Advertising, Marketing & Media Issues ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Rather than focusing simply on a magazine’s total readership, ■ AdMeasure claims to measure how many readers actually saw the ad, along with how many took action as a result of seeing it. ■ ■ ■ ■ The measurement raises magazine advertising measurement to the level of TV and the internet in terms of granularity, the company says. AdMeasure’s print ad ratings are derived from: MRI’s Survey of the American Consumer, a standard for measuring the average issue audience of consumer magazines; the Issue Specific Readership Study, which measures readership for individual issues of magazines; and MRI Starch. “We use our national study to statistically determine what reader variables drive ad readership and then project the MRI Starch data so they reflect an issue’s actual audience profile. Then we overlay the Starch ad readership scores with Issue Specific audience levels to create print ad ratings,” explains Kathi Love, pres and CEO of MRI. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Behavioral Marketing (95) Branding (751) Business-to-Business (203) Buying (2224) Campaigns of Note (951) Creative Issues (457) Integrated/Cross-Media/Convergence (748) Media Department (1171) Online Networks (876) Personalization (40) Pitches/Wins/Losses (167) Planning (6242) PR (52) Remnant Space (10) Spam/Spyware/Intrusive (55) Targeting Technologies (169) Business Environment ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ MRI bought GfK Starch in July 2008, at a time when advertisers were asking for more specific magazine readership data. The acquisition occurred amidst the Magazine Publishers of America’s call for proposals for a new magazine ratings system, which some felt was a direct challenge to MRI to expand its research offerings, writes MediaPost.

It, too, will measure consumer recall as well as action taken in response to ads, but the services differ in their methodology, Adweek reports. The American Magazine Study will be unveiled in 2010. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Related categories: Print, Measurement/Analytics, Magazines ■ ■ Related Entries ■ Wealthy (178) Women (575) ■ Youth (628) Media Options & Channels ■ Get free media planning headlines every business day in your inbox.
