Comscore Announces Acquisition of Leading Social Media & Technology Provider Shareablee

Comscore, a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, announced that it has acquired Shareablee, an industry-leading marketing analytics and measurement company in the social media space. With the acquisition, which closed, Comscore plans to expand its Media Metrix and Video Metrix currencies to include Shareablee’s social media engagement and video insights, which will bridge the industry gap of traditional digital and social measurement services that exists today.

The combined audience insights of Comscore and Shareablee will give media companies, brands and advertisers an unmatched understanding of cross-platform consumer engagement and reach. Integration plans call for Comscore digital products to benefit from Shareablee data, allowing clients to broaden their digital footprint in products like Video Metrix with advanced social video insights, and for Shareablee clients to have additional advantages with curated views of Comscore digital data embedded in their Shareablee dashboards. Comscore plans to retain the Shareablee team after closing, with key members of Shareablee management, including Tania Yuki, Greg Dale and Jonathan Lieberman, continuing in leadership roles.

We see many opportunities to help our clients grow their viewing audiences and maximize their impact using social platforms.”
