Streamhub integrates Kantar video tagging technology

Kantar will now incorporate data from its video tagging technology into Streamhub’s enterprise analytics platform.

The companies said the partnership means media owners will now be able to use Streamhub’s enterprise platform to analyze any digital video content that integrates Kantar’s video-tagging technology. Kantar said access to the Streamhub platform will enable its clients to improve management and monetization of audience on-demand viewing.

Kantar’s video tagging technology provides data on online video consumption and on specific program or ad occurrences. Streamhub’s enterprise platform is designed to automate reporting and accommodate workflows between publishers, agencies and advertisers for cross-market video and connected TV census datasets.
