"Great environment to work"

5/5

What do you like best about Kantar Media?

What I like best about Kantar Media is its ability to provide comprehensive, cross-platform media insights that are both accurate and actionable. It brings together data from TV, digital, social, and print to give a 360-degree view of audience behavior and ad performance, helping brands make smarter, data-driven decisions with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kantar Media?

What I dislike about Kantar Media is that some of its data platforms can feel complex or outdated, especially for new users. Additionally, reporting speed and customization may sometimes lag behind more agile, digital-first competitors, making it harder to get real-time insights in fast-moving markets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kantar Media:

If you're looking for reliable, cross-media audience measurement and deep advertising insights, Kantar Media is a strong choice. It’s especially valuable for large brands and agencies that need comprehensive data across TV, digital, and print. However, be prepared for a learning curve with the tools, and consider pairing their insights with real-time digital analytics for a more agile approach. Also, engage with their support team — their expertise can help you get the most out of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hugely disappointing customer experience"

0/5

What do you like best about Kantar Media?

There is very little that is good about Kantar Media. The evaluation promises to be good, but they have messed around with that for many months, disrupting clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kantar Media?

The cuttings service is diabolical and if you try to get hold of cutting they've missed, they throw everything back at you, blaming you - the client - for everything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick and Easy Tool to Check Out the Competition"

4/5

What do you like best about Kantar Media?

It gives me a snapshot of what competitors are doing across various mediums in one place. It also provides me with more detail if I chose to explore one particular piece or industry of media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kantar Media?

The dashboard layout is a bit clunky and the templates used to push out powerpoint information is outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kantar Media:

It is a great tool but just remember that you're dealing with estimates and averages. The data is also about 2 months behind, so something else to keep in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm able to provide our clients with high level information on competitors. And internally I can review in more detail to see if what they are buying in the media landscape is helping them gain that competitive edge; prove some of our theories to the client and help the client achieve their goals.

"Kantar Media Stradegy - Agency user for 4 years"

4/5

Describe the project or task Kantar Media helped with:

I used Kantar Media Stradegy primarily for pulling competitive information including: overall/monthly spend, # of insertions, media vehicles and publications, GRPs, seasonality, traditional media creative and more. My team and I used this tool to inform ourselves at the start of every campaign planning and/or new business pitch process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kantar Media?

I like the easy to use interface and reporting format. It quickly became my go-to to be informed on competitive advertising information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kantar Media?

In the past, Kantar Media Stradegy's digital capabilities are not as refined as traditional. The spend is very very low and there is an even greater time lag. In general, accurate spend (accounting for added value and make goods) and the time lag were also negative points we to be aware of when planning.

I vaguely remember using a Kantar planning tool to discover relevant, local magazines and their contacts - and thought the experience was subpar. The search navigation and reporting features were not the most user friendly and complete information was not always available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kantar Media:

I would definitely recommend using the Kantar Media Stradegy tool for competitive landscape Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Painting the competitive landscape using Kantar Media has helped inform my clients of the how brands in their industry are leveraging marketing and helps the agency in planning an annual campaign up front. It solves the problem of not knowing other brands' strategies or sifting through magazines/tv/the internet/etc. to try to piece it together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stradegy & Kantar for media"

4/5

Describe the project or task Kantar Media helped with:

I use Kantar Media product tools before beginning any project where I have clearly defined competitors.

As a media buyer, this means looking into competition and where they are spending. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kantar Media?

Easy to use interface that is fast. When I am evaluating the media landscape of my competitors, I like the readily available information and the historical data availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kantar Media?

I have not encountered any drawbacks in my use of the Stradegy tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kantar Media:

Consider which tools are best for your media buy - I say this because not every use of their tools requires interaction with a representative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Kantar media we conduct market research. We need these insights to make informed decisions for advertising purposes, finding our competitors where they are - and using the information to attack markets strategically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
