Challenge
With a fixed budget and an ambitious goal — extending reach to Australia's 40+ audience across both BVOD and linear TV — Belong and OMD needed more than intuition. They needed deterministic, cross-media measurement that could validate what was working and guide smarter investment decisions in real time.
Results
Beatgrid's single-source measurement gave OMD exactly that. Armed with precise audience data, they refined their buying tactics for the 40+ segment, optimized TV spot placement, and unlocked meaningful incremental reach across multiple Australian regions — all while saving over $100K in the process.
