Brand & Media
Plan with a full view of markets and consumers, optimize creative, reach high-value audiences, measure media delivery, and prove the outcomes of every investment.

Build stronger brands and make media work harder.
Media performance is shaped long before a campaign goes live, and proven long after an impression is delivered. Marketers need to understand the market, choose the right media, develop effective creative, reach the right audiences, and connect investment to real outcomes.
NIQ brings these actions together. Our Brand & Media portfolio combines market, consumer, media, and purchase intelligence with analytical expertise to help brands, advertisers, agencies, and media owners improve performance across the full media lifecycle.
Our Brand & Media solutions
Marketing Planning
Use marketplace and consumer intelligence to identify and size new opportunities, understand audiences, evaluate the competitive landscape, and decide where media investment can have the greatest impact.

Audience Activation
Move beyond demographics to identify high-value targets with purchase-based behavioral intelligence from NIQ. Use ready-to-activate and custom audiences to sharpen targeting across screens or enrich your first-party data with NIQ attributes to create new targeting segments.

Media Measurement
Use media measurement and software solutions across video, audio, digital, and cross-media. Combined with NIQ’s consumer data these insights demonstrate how media influences consumer behaviour and business outcomes.

Outcome Measurement
Quantify how marketing investments impact sales, brand perception, and ROI. Use marketing mix modeling, sales lift, and custom measurement to optimize channels, markets, budgets, and future marketing plans.

Creative Optimization
Identify which creative ideas are most likely to work, diagnose what drives attention, emotion, memory, and brand lift, and turn those insights into clear actions before and during activation.
