Measuring Cross-Screen viewership at the persons-level is crucial in today’s fragmented video viewing environment.

Audience habits have become more dynamic across multiple devices, with 81% of total U.S. households (with WIFI) streaming TV content. Today the average household views five streaming TV services over the course of one month (July 2023). During the same period, U.S. households spent a combined 10.7 billion hours streaming.

As user viewing patterns shift, advertisers need precise campaign performance across all screens to optimize spend and manage frequency. Shifting dollars to Streaming TV requires data-driven decision-making.

Comscore has announced the integration of Roku - the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico* - into its flagship cross platform solution, Comscore Campaign Ratings (CCR).

Comscore’s measurement is comprehensive across TV streaming ad campaigns on the Roku platform, including The Roku Channel. Comscore is now an approved measurement vendor in Roku’s Measurement Partner Program.

The partnership with Roku enables agencies and advertisers to make critical campaign decisions with confidence by unlocking Roku-specific co-viewing. Clients can quantify the number of people watching the screen, beyond counting the household, and measure key audiences within Comscore’s cross-platform, persons-level reporting.

Insights: 37% Lift In Ad Exposure Delivered through Co-Viewing Audiences

Roku’s advertisers need actionable, cross-screen insights and incremental reach measurement that is stable, at-scale and precise.

Analysis of Roku ad campaigns with Comscore Campaign Ratings (CCR) quantifies not only in-target reach and frequency on the Roku platform but also campaign incrementality to linear TV.

Based on an analysis of Roku campaigns, Comscore data surfaces the performance of six campaigns spanning four major verticals, including retail, automotive, CPG, and real estate, measuring a total of 62 million ads delivered on Roku.

Viewers on Roku saw these ads an average of 3.6 times per campaign amongst the target audience compared to 11.4 times on Linear TV. Co-viewing on Roku drove +37% lift across the 6 campaigns.
