NEW YORK and DULLES, Va., Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Analytics Media Group (AMG) announced today an agreement with FourthWall Media® (FWM), the largest independent source of cable set-top box viewing data.  Under the agreement, AMG will gain access to FourthWall's second-by-second television viewership data.  This data allows AMG to provide marketers and political campaigns the ability to precisely target their messages to the right audiences on TV.

The principals behind AMG were behind the data initiative for President Obama's successful 2012 campaigns during which they matched voter segments to television viewing tendencies.  This allowed President Obama's campaign to increase the efficiency of its TV spend and concentrate advertising on voters determined to be "undecided" between Obama and Romney.  The result was more impressions per target in key battleground states and markets even while being outspent in absolute media dollars.

"AMG is pleased to have entered into this agreement with FourthWall Media," said Chauncey McLean, Analytics Media Group COO.  "We leveraged set-top box and DVR data in 2012 to reach our audience by placing the right ads on the right programs. With FourthWall's dynamic and granular data we are offering the same capabilities to consumer marketers who have been clamoring for better insights into their target audiences along with better efficiency in their media buys."

"Television viewership data is the linchpin to better targeting of advertising dollars," said Patrick Peters, FourthWall Media GM of Programming.  "It's no longer enough to broadcast to large segments and call them targets.  Marketers and campaigns want to know they are reaching their customers with the right message.  Because we have unique views into TV viewership, AMG can bring ingenious methods of targeting, messaging and accountability to their customers by knowing how viewers react to programming, and even discrete portions of ads.  We are pleased to have entered into this agreement with AMG and look forward to their team putting our data to work in truly unique ways."
