Nielsen, a global audience measurement, data, and analytics, has collaborated with JioStar to provide advanced analytics solutions for its newly launched OTT platform – JioHotstar ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).
Nielsen will establish a data pipeline to measure the effectiveness of advertiser campaigns on JioHotstar properties, leveraging its in-depth expertise in audience measurement and first-party data. The initiative will offer advertisers and agencies enhanced insights to optimize campaign performance and effectiveness during the highly anticipated IPL 2025.
Under this engagement, Nielsen will deploy advanced tools such as Nielsen ONE Ads (erstwhile Nielsen’s DAR – Digital Ad Ratings) and the newly developed Volumetric and Reach Analysis on the Platform to provide insights into viewership and ad performance on the JioHotstar Platform. The metrics will be accessible through the Nielsen One dashboard, enabling advertisers to gain valuable insights including impressions, clicks, campaign reach and on-target reach delivered by their campaigns on JioHotstar.
Ishan Chatterjee, Chief Business Officer, Sports Revenue, SMB & Creator, JioStar, said, “Through our association with Nielsen, we aim to redefine how advertising on Digital/ OTT is measured and delivered across India’s most iconic entertainment and sports properties.
