Titan Transit Network Now Included in Nielsen's Place-Based Video Report

NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Titan, the leader in transit-based digital out-of-home advertising, announced today that its Transit Network has been added to Nielsen's quarterly Place-Based Video Report. The latest edition of the report which covers Q2 2014 is distributed to Nielsen's subscribing clients this week.

As indicated in the new Nielsen report, transit stations deliver captive audiences at scale with long dwell time.  The average dwell time measured for Titan's Transit Network is nearly 27 minutes daily, which provides a great opportunity for marketers to engage and connect with commuters.  Titan's digital rail platform screens add great value to commuter journeys by providing train departure and arrival information, as well as frequently updated editorial content like news, sport and weather.

"We are excited that Nielsen will be measuring a new venue type as part of its digital place-based ecosystem. We hope to prove and inspire our advertisers that transit digital screens can extend and enhance any video-neutral communication plan.  Titan's transit platform screens bring audiences closer to point of purchase and deliver young and captive audiences effectively and at scale,'' said Don Allman, President and CEO of Titan.

''Marketers aiming to reach commuters during their daily journey can now size and value the audience in transit stations in a way that is comparable across all measured media channels,'' said Paul Lindstrom, SVP On Location Solutions, Nielsen.

Nielsen On Location helps ensure that clients and agencies see the value of advertising on the many screens out of the home, now including transit stations, so they can effectively reach consumers on the go. It provides consistent measurement methodology across all venue types and offers benchmarks to compare place-based networks to other video formats like TV, online video and mobile.
