Preserving timely access to ZIP code data was absolutely necessary. That’s our holy grail; that’s how we make our plans and our buys. ZIP code data feeds our planning engine. Without it, we’re forced to estimate and that has negative consequences for us.
We spend over $100 million every year inserting circulars in over 1,500 newspapers every week. We have 100% confidence in the integrity of reported circulation metrics because of AAM. Without AAM, we would lose millions of ad dollars on dubious data.
We believe that detailed reporting informs smart targeting solutions. That’s why AAM data is invaluable when analyzing media products and for geographic targeting.
We’re here to help.
