Netflix Taps Nielsen for Global Audience Insights

Nielsen has announced an expansion of its relationship with Netflix, which includes a multi-year agreement to provide linear and online object data in the United States, Mexico, and Poland. In the US, Netflix will subscribe to Nielsen’s national television measurement data and streaming platform ratings. In Mexico and Poland, Netflix will register cross-platform audience insights obtained from streaming boards in each respective market.

As the television landscape continues to evolve, it’s important for streaming services to understand and measure audience behavior and viewing preferences to make informed business decisions. With insights from all of Nielsen’s measurement services, Netflix now has a holistic view of media consumption.

“We’re honored to continue working with Netflix to provide them with the insights they need to understand their audience as media consumption evolves,”

“As we move closer to providing comparable and deduplicated metrics across screens and platforms with Nielsen ONE, this agreement with Netflix is another great example of why Nielsen is well positioned to lead the audience measurement movement now and in the future.”

Kim Gilberti, SVP, Product Management at Nielsen.

“The biggest shift in entertainment continues to be from linear TV to streaming and Nielsen’s Gauge shows where viewers spend their time – and how their consumption patterns are changing,”

“This information is essential for the industry and we’re excited to continue to work with Nielsen in Mexico and Poland.”
