Sony Pictures Television’s Crackle, an ad-supported video-on-demand service, is going with Nielsen Marketing Cloud for addressable ads across mobile, connected TVs, streaming boxes and game consoles.
Crackle’s marketers will get access to Nielsen’s cross-segment data for targeting ads on the service as well as the Sony Crackle Plus Network that includes Funimation and Sony Pictures Television Mobile Games
“Nielsen and Sony Crackle are working together to shape the future of TV,” said Rene Santaella, senior vice president of operations and business planning at Sony Pictures Television, in a statement. “We are also very excited to bring connected television to the forefront of the advertising ecosystem and bridge the gap of addressability with highly coveted ‘console-first’ and psychographic streaming segments in the new living room. This is great for improving our clients’ campaign performance and creates entirely new reach opportunities for them.”
