**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2021

iSpot helped our clients to combine measurement for newly growing streaming inventory alongside traditional TV. We tapped into unified measurement tools to understand combined reach

**What do you dislike about iSpot.tv?**

The costs of iSpot measurement overlay was a sell through that had to be negotiated with our clients and agency shared part of the costs

**Recommendations to others considering iSpot.tv:**

We used both the free and paid solutions of iSpot th including their library of competitor ads.

We were able to prove out the incremental reach and benefit of overlaying both connected TV buys and traditional upfront broadcast/cable buys. This allowed us to increase digital media budgets using data driven performance insights.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2018

  ### 8. iSpot.tv Beneficial Tool for Ad Agencies

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2019

**What do you like best about iSpot.tv?**

I like the easy interface on the site and it's relatively simple to navigate. The attention index is a great benchmark to determine which areas have higher levels of audience engagement. Their customer support is also stellar; we had someone walk us through all the views/charts/terms on the site. They're also willing to customize as necessary for whatever you need to see. The tool offers great insight to help support the human nuances of what station/daypart/time to optimize a buy on TV in order to help generate higher conversions

**What do you dislike about iSpot.tv?**

When I used it for TV, activity was being reported based on all TV attributable site visits but we were not able to see the Web baseline and TV attributed lift independently. iSpot does not support diginets, fractionals, and satellites, which are a large part of our client's TV buy schedule. 

**Recommendations to others considering iSpot.tv:**

I'd recommend this to another agency looking for attribution solutions in order to supplement and improve buy management

**What problems is iSpot.tv solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The attribution solution connects TV ad impressions measured from smart TVs to give us recommended buy optimizations in real time. The benefits are tremendous and can help us make smarter buy optimizations for clients.

  ### 9. Easy to Navigate and Understand

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2019

**What do you like best about iSpot.tv?**

I like the ease with which I can search for a company's spots and learn more about their media patterns like air time, air date, duration and spot content. I like how easy it is to also dive into similar companies with similar spend levels to get a sense of how crowded that industry is.

**What do you dislike about iSpot.tv?**

Sometimes the different tabs can be confusing and I have to try multiple tabs before I find the reporting I was looking for. A more logical hierarchy might help make that a little more intuitive.

**Recommendations to others considering iSpot.tv:**

This is a great tool to help you break down what your competitors might be doing in the industry. Their multitude of filters help you very easily see exactly what you're looking for and make it easy to continue your research by displaying similar companies.

**What problems is iSpot.tv solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We understand the TV media space a lot better now. We can now more confidently and easily quantify the efforts other companies are making in the TV space and make better note of what these advertisers are doing well or where we find opportunities to do better.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2017

iSpot enables us to directly measure the impact of our linear and OTT campaigns on website behavior by using deterministic attribution.  We know the day after a spot runs how effective it was at driving response and can compare it's performance to other spots.  We have insight on creatives, media and competitor's spend all through one tool.

The tool is still in the earlier stages of development, so there is some manual reporting that has to happen, but the team is great about working with us to provide us with the data we need.

iSpot helps us better understand the latent response driven by TV and enables us to optimize our media at a very granular level using the results.
