About

Established enterprise-grade marketing measurement leader with broad cross-channel attribution and MMM capabilities, leveraging Nielsen's global data assets and brand authority.

Nielsen Attribution is a cross-platform marketing measurement company whose core capability is unifying attribution across both digital channels and traditional media — including television, radio, and print — in a way that purely digital-focused platforms cannot replicate. The platform draws on Nielsen's extensive audience data to deliver audience-based attribution, enabling marketers to understand how specific demographic and psychographic segments respond to different media touchpoints across the full marketing mix, rather than simply tracking anonymous clicks. Its capabilities span unified measurement across digital, TV, radio, and print, audience-based attribution tied to Nielsen's proprietary data, and privacy-compliant identity resolution that connects customer touchpoints while adhering to evolving privacy regulations. The solution is particularly suited to medium and large enterprises requiring advanced marketing performance insights, and its typical users include marketing professionals, business intelligence teams, and data analysts who rely on it for multi-touch attribution, cross-channel performance measurement, and audience analysis to support budget allocation and campaign optimization. Nielsen Attribution does not publish pricing publicly and operates on custom packages; available transaction data suggests average annual costs of around $110,000, with a range extending up to $380,000.
