What do you like best about Kantar Media?

Kantar Media allows for easy creation and saving of ad spending reports at the national and local level. You can save reports to run at a later time (or if they are recurring reports) or build easy-to-use dashboards as well. You can look at places current clients spend their marketing dollars (e.g. where does Heineken spend their ad dollars) or look at media providers and what types of clients run across their particular platform (e.g. who spends on ESPN?). You can also slice out by time as well (quarterly, monthly, yearly or by custom date ranges). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kantar Media?

Some of the data output to Excel can be a bit wacky, though you can take the data and feed it into a system such as Tableau to better visualize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kantar Media:

Kantar does everything right, though part of me wonders if they would ever merge in with comScore to compete with Nielsen and their AdViews/Monitor Plus platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kantar Media solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wish they were able to track ad networks/DSP's and that they brought in social media data (though that may change with their new partnership with Pathmatics). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kantar Media?

Through Kantar Media's Ad Spender tool, I am able to discern top companies/products/brands and their ad spend YoY to see how things have changed. This varies from Cable TV, Network TV, Magazines, Newspapers, Outdoor, etc., to be able to show a holistic approach of how media dollars are being spent or how those have shifted throughout a key timeframe. Do all of this in your own custom reporting to see what's relevant to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kantar Media?

Unclear exactly the definitions as to what each of the media dollars contains. You also have to a wait a bit to be able to download the excel you just created. The tool is a bit funky at first to learn all the nuances and the ins and outs of being able to pull a report correctly, but once learned it's fairly simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kantar Media:

Make the most of this data, as there is a lot that can be teased out from it and lots that you can find value from. This is a great way to be able to garner information for both you and your clients about media spend and trends in the marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kantar Media solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to discern where company spend is going, and where it has been shifted over key time frames. This helps us to be able to come with stories for our business, as well as help big brands determine the shift in spend from one platform to the next. It helps our clients fill a hole by providing top-line data analyses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kantar Media?

We use Kantar Stradegy for competitive analysis of the media landscape. You can design custom reports to show monthly spend, GRPs by brand and drill down to specific DMAs. Information can even get as granular as which program and time a TV ad ran and which magazine it was in for Print! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kantar Media?

Some Kantar data isn't as current as we'd like it to be. These numbers should always be used directionally and not as the Bible- as it is impossible to have 100% accurate data to the tee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kantar Media:

Create public reports that can be used as a template for recurring pulls. For example, we deliver quarterly reports to the client and instead of building the same reports tailored to our needs, it's such a huge time saver to rerun the same report with refreshed dates. This way other people on your team can also view the reports and use them too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kantar Media solving and how is that benefiting you?

The benefit of using Kantar Stradegy is having an overview of media competitive analysis for brands using one succinct tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it gives media info/prices for media outlets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kantar Media?

I dislike that it is confusing to use and doesn't have a lot of the brands I search for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kantar Media solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving which outlets would be the best for ads for certain companies. Benefits is being able to see what companies are placing their ads where, what media certain consumers are looking at, and not wasting money buying media that our target consumers aren't looking at.
