RSMB have started the fusion work of the latest Route dataset with the Channel Planner. The covered environments will be Roadside, Tube and Buses, the remaining environments will be released for fusion once they have been validated by Route. As soon as RSMB have completed the initial fusion, the data will be passed to bureaux for loading. Once we have a release date from the bureaux we will let you know.
TouchPoints in Action
Kantar's Viz Explorer tool
Kantar have developed a Data Visualisation tool called
Viz Explorer
specifically targetted at creative agencies but available to all. In quick and easy steps it will help to turn your analyses into visually engaging formats using a collection of pre-set templates. Users will be able to create great charts without needing training on complicated coding or cross-tabbing systems.
Guardian Media Planner
By combining their own proprietary data and the TouchPoints4 Channel Planner, the Guardian have created their
'Audiences Not Platforms'
planning tool, accessible through Telmar. This allows users to calculate campaigns reach and frequency across the Guardian's entire cross platform portfolio: website, print, mobile and tablet.
