“The ability to segment the 25,000-strong TNS Worldpanel by media use, allows clients to evaluate, in detail, how much each part of their media plan (singly or in combination) is contributing directly to sales.

This means that the NMA is able to dig deeply into the impact that newspapers have on the share and value of brand sales and, importantly, is able to demonstrate newspaper ROI.”Simon Skeldon

Director - Worldpanel UK TNS
