C3 Metrics’ Intellectual Property and platform solves difficult problems in a changing market. C3 Metrics’ IP is the first of its kind to detect viewable impressions thru cross-domain iframes. The significance of this patent-pending technology (US#40927-701.101) is that previously ‘viewable impressions’ were limited to only the 20% of ads served in JavaScript, while ads served by cross-domain iFrames (80%), were undetectable. With 80% of ads missed, buyers and sellers were left with uncertainty for key metrics of reach, frequency, and ROI. C3’s technology is akin to the Hubble telescope in online advertising: seeing what has never been seen before, with a never experienced 98%+ detection rate of viewable impressions. C3’s technology detects viewable impressions in all major browsers: Chrome, I.E., Firefox, Safari. No sampling, no exceptions, no guessing, no “projections”, no caveats, no asterisks: 98%+ detection. Because C3’s platform was architected for real-time bidding + two-way communication…DSP’s, publishers, and networks can shrink their “unseen” display mix with C3’s intelligent platform to eliminate waste, and stop buying unseen inventory for which they’ll never get credit or with 3MS, never get paid. For agencies and advertisers, C3 provides the paramount ingredient for online GRP’s to calculate truly accurate reach, frequency and Viewable Conversions™ . C3’s technology is certified by Google Display, Yahoo!, AOL, and runs on 27+ DSP’s and networks. Headquartered in New York with offices in California and Boston, C3 Metrics is comprised of leading experts in the field of digital and television measurement from DoubleClick, eBay, PepsiCo, Yahoo! and Nielsen.
