GRPsTHE WHAT, WHY AND HOW OF DIGITAL’S NEW!METRIC
4
Gross Rating Points (GRPs) are the standard currency that broadcast TV has used to plan, purchase and measure advertising campaigns since the 1950s. The GRP represents a combination of reach and frequency, measured according to the households reached by an advertisement versus the total!targeted population.
The first federally regulated television ad ever broadcasted was aired on July 1st, 1941 on then WNBT (now WNBC), during a Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies baseball game. The!spot was for Bulova Watches, it was ten seconds long, showing a static image and reportedly cost!$9—a small price to!pay for such a historical event.
Nine short years later, the 1950s gave way to sponsored programming, regularly scheduled advertisements and viewership ratings. Arthur Nielsen, who had twenty years earlier helped pioneer radio market analysis, shifted gears and developed a ratings system by which a sample audience’s (Nielsen Families) viewership could be measured accurately.
A SHORT LESSON IN GRP!HISTORY
HISTORY IN THE MAKING The Digital GRP changes online advertising. By!measuring television and online video with a common metric, all video performance can be weighted equally, bringing video and television into the same playing field.
1920 1930 1940 1950 1960
1920 First (commercial) radio broadcast airs in the U.S.
1939 First regularly scheduled television broadcasts air on NBC
1922 First paid radio commercial appears
1941 First television advertisement appears
1930 Nielsen begins to monitor popularity of radio programs
1950 Nielsen Ratings begin to measure television audiences
How Nielsen Did It Viewer Diaries In this early approach viewers manually recorded their viewing habits and reported back to Nielsen for aggregation and analysis.
Set Meters This technology-driven approach, which has since become the norm, used a metering device that connected to a “Nielsen Families’’ television set and reported minute-by-minute viewership analysis via telephone and now ethernet. Later in the process, Nielsen was able to segment more specific
viewer demographics from individual family members within the homes.
Using a statistical model, Nielsen was able to render an audience’s size, demographics and market by show, network, and daypart. He called these measurements “ratings!points.”
Nielsen’s methodology (GRP = reach X frequency) has changed little over the years, and to this day Nielsen remains the primary source of TV audience measurement around the world.

A Digital GRP is a unit of measurement that represents the percentage of online viewers reached within a total targeted audience population (e.g. Females 18–34 in the New York DMA) multiplied by the number of times they were reached.
Simplified Digital GRPs are calculated by dividing the in-target impressions by the total target population. (Frequency is embedded within the total in-target impression delivery.)

“I fully expect the joint industry e!ort Making Measurement Make Sense to establish the digital Gross Ratings
Point (GRP) as the prevailing metric for premium digital media transactions. At the same time, I anticipate a major increase in programmatic buying, which has emerged as an e!ective way for publishers to monetize data and drive higher CPMs for excess inventory. As programmatic buying expands, I expect advancements in the use of data and machine learning to o!er marketers both ease in large-scale, highly targeted media purchases across multiple devices and the capability to dynamically microtarget their messaging. It is at this point that "we will reach the promise of always-on!marketing.” — Patrick Dolan, Executive Vice President and COO, IAB
