OTT Insights Powered by MRI-Simmons’ Cord Evolution Study
Gamut is pleased to announce that MRI-Simmons’ Cord Evolution Study will be added to our robust selection of data resources starting in 2021. Our in-house research team will be leveraging the video-focused study to uncover relevant, actionable insights on the ever-changing media landscape.
The Cord Evolution Study is fielded 3x a year to a nationally representative panel through an online survey. The questionnaire is thoughtfully designed to capture responses on trending viewing behaviors, including:
- Motivations and usage of video platforms
- Cord cutting
- Streaming engagement, device preferences and attitudes
Over 175 streaming services/apps are measured to gain an understanding of OTT audiences across SVOD, AVOD, and vMVPD providers. Plus, Cord Evolution is weighted and fused to the MRI-Simmons National Study, allowing for deep insights on ad-supported streamers and their demographics, psychographics, purchase behavior and brand affinities.
“Coming off of a year of significant consumer shifts, using insights to steer media strategy is a critical part of the planning process now more than ever before. The Gamut Insights Team can now source the data collected in the Cord Evolution Study to share the latest streaming trends with our advertising partners as they develop OTT campaigns to connect with consumers not reachable through traditional linear TV.”
– Tiffany Ihle, Director of Consumer Insights
