GSMA to boost mobile advertising with industry-standard mobile metrics

The GSMA, in partnership with ComScore, has released the first cut of what it hopes will become industry-standard metrics for mobile advertising. The metrics are based on anonymised browsing data gathered from all five UK operators’ subscriber bases. These behavioural metrics are complemented by some basic demographic data collected on an opt-in basis from a small panel of mobile users. The mobile metrics are currently confined to the UK, but there are plans to expand to other markets. The GSMA mobile metrics are a modest but much-needed first step and should be welcomed as they address one of the key factors that has slowed mobile advertising: the lack of standardised metrics for measuring audience engagement.
