Despite major shifts in overall TV viewership, events like the Super Bowl and the NBA Playoffs continue to set record ratings. More than 900 billion ad impressions were generated by sports content in the past year alone, accounting for 14% of all national linear TV ad impressions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the unique viewing patterns of live sports causes volatility in audience delivery throughout a game. Traditional metrics like Average Commercial Minute Audience (ACM) no longer suffice to capture the real-time fluctuations and cross-platform nature of modern sports viewership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Achieving more efficient transactions amid fragmented audiences and diverse viewing platforms calls for precise, second-by-second sports media measurement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his <em>Measurement Mavens<\/em> interview, iSpot Vice President of Sports Research &amp; Insights, David Coletti, discusses innovative approaches to media measurement, the thrill of discovering insights that drive business decisions, and the need to adapt to the evolving sports viewership landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Measurement Mavens iSpot Interview | David Coletti\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OYi_ureuxA4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Every Second Counts: The Case for Precision in Modern Sports Measurement<\/em>, authored by David Coletti, addresses this challenge head-on using second-by-second ad data from iSpot.
