The media multiverse continues to expand, from new platforms to the erosion of cookies. At the same time, consumers are demanding more of brands, examining their campaigns with a closer eye, and calling out when something doesn’t resonate.
With increased pressure, media fragmentation and the ever-heightening battle for attention, research insights are critical tools in a marketer’s arsenal. However, many marketers feel there is not enough clarity in measurement. Kantar’s Media Navigator report reveals 67% of marketers think it’s tough to assess their digital campaign effectiveness, given blind spots in available measurement and 82% of advertisers want to take more control over their media spend (48% strongly agree).
To be able to drive higher ROI from media spend and operate with confidence, marketers need stronger, rigorous measurement signals, clearer understanding of what is driving impact, and confidence in the quality of data they are basing future spend on.
One way to ensure higher confidence in insights is through prioritizing measurement partners who have achieved badged status through rigorous vetting and meeting high standards of criteria.
TikTok’s Marketing Partners Program is one such program, which endorses experts in measurement on its platform with the aim of helping brands better understand the impact of advertising on the platform.
In a recent announcement, Kantar's LIFT was verified by TikTok as providing the highest standards of measurement excellence and serving as an independent source of truth of TikTok's ability to drive marketing outcomes. As a badged partner for Brand Lift measurement, Kantar Lift enables TikTok advertisers to quantify ad impact on brand lift metrics such as Ad Recall, Awareness, Attitude, and Favorability.
