IN THE NEWS
 
Comcast Spotlight announced the launch of an attribution solution aimed at bringing greater accountability to local TV advertising. Instant IMPACT, launched in partnership with TVSquared, allows local cable TV advertisers to measure lower-funnel activity. “As we move toward a more data-driven, audience-based approach to TV buying, connecting the purchase funnel has become an increasingly important priority for advertisers,” said Andrea Zapata, VP, Research and Insights, Comcast Spotlight. “At the local level, however, measuring lower funnel activity has always been a challenge due to much lower sample sizes compared to national campaigns. Instant IMPACT allows us to move past this hurdle and helps bridge the gap between TV exposure and business outcomes.”
 
Odaseva, the cloud data protection, compliance and operations platform for enterprises running Salesforce as a business-critical application, announced the availability of its Full Sandbox Anonymization application. The new data app allows Odaseva users to anonymize all personal data in Salesforce Sandbox environments with one click. “Any company that is safeguarding private customer data in Salesforce Production but fails to anonymize their Salesforce Sandbox data is pretty much locking the door but leaving the window open,” said Sovan Bin, CEO and founder of Odaseva. “Even though the data has not gone into production and might still be residing in the test environment, personal data can still be accessed by unauthorized technical or personnel teams.”
 
Altice USA unveiled Altice Amplify, a high fidelity home speaker. The sound system features Devialet’s sound technologies, and includes Amazon Alexa Built-In for voice control of smart devices, music playback. Altice Amplify is compatible with all TV systems and offers hands-free  voice control of the Altice One entertainment and connectivity platform. “Altice Amplify brings audio back to the forefront of consumers’ living rooms, taking entertainment to new auditory heights with unparalleled sound while providing simple and seamless control of the connected home,” said Hakim Boubazine, Co-President and Chief Operating Officer, Altice USA.
 
Google is making it easier to find and listen to podcasts. The internet giant is now providing podcast episodes in search results based on analysis of the topics in a given show, and will also let users play back the podcast directly from the results page. According to Google, its index spans over 2 million podcasts across the web. Now, when searching for a podcast about a topic on Google, it will show users playable episodes in search results alongside webpages, news, images and videos.

Facebook is diving into the subscription VOD waters, albeit as an aggregator and reseller. The company is launching a small-scale test to sell subscription VOD services directly to users. Initially, these subscriptions will be available for four services, the BBC and ITV’s BritBoxCollegeHumor’s DropoutMotorTrend App and Tastemade Plus, and only in the U.S. Look for them to roll out over the next few weeks.
 
Comscore announced that social media analytics solution ListenFirst will provide measurement for Comscore’s Branded Content service. “In today’s advertising landscape, brand integrations and sponsorships are taking a larger and larger part of the media budget. We’re seeing strong demand for ever-more-sophisticated performance measurement, regardless of content type or platform. Social has become an integral part of these content campaigns and clients are demanding consistent, holistic measurement across all aspects of the integration or sponsorship,” said Gary Warech, SVP, Comscore Branded Content. “By partnering with ListenFirst, Comscore provides advertisers with a complete view of a brand’s involvement within content across TV, Digital and Social.”
 
Google Ad Manager and AdMob now support app-ads.txt, an extension of IABTech Lab’s ads.txt, aimed at preventing fraud for app publishers. Starting August 27, Google said Ad Manager and AdBlock will block ad serving of unauthorized in-app inventory for publishers with app-ads.txt files implemented.
 
Verance Corporation, a provider of standards-based watermarking, announced plans to add support for Project OAR (“Open Addressable Ready”) to its Aspect platform. Project OAR is a multi-industry consortium that was created to establish open standards to deliver better advertising experiences to viewers through the use of dynamic advertising on internet-connected TVs and devices. The support for Project OAR extends Aspect’s existing support for ATSC watermarking standards.
 
Dreamscape, a VR startup backed by AMC, is opening its second space, in a Dallas mall on August 15. Dreamscape and AMC partnered in 2017 to open a total of six VR centers. Additional locations are being mapped in Columbus, Ohio and the New York/New Jersey metro area.
 
Lotame announced the launch of the Lotame TV, aimed at enabling advertisers to connect, build, target, activate, and analyze TV viewership audiences for cross-screen digital campaigns through DSP partners. As part of its unstacked rollout, Lotame connects and matches TV + digital data, including ACR, OTT, website, app, and CRM data, to over 4 billion web, mobile, and OTT IDs, builds TV + digital audiences that can be activated across channels, and helps analyze how these audiences are performing in digital campaigns. The Lotame TV solutions suite is comprised of four products: Lotame TV Connect, Lotame TV LAB, Lotame TV Analytics, and Lotame TV Data Exchange.
