Consumer insights leader chosen for its comprehensive and accurate data assets

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- MRI-Simmons, the leading provider of insights on the American consumer, today announced its selection as the core provider of audience, demographic, psychographic and product usage consumer data for the Advertising and Marketing Independent Network (AMIN) Worldwide. The agreement extends a decades-long relationship that provides AMIN’s coalition of independent marketing agencies with MRI-Simmons’ trusted and actionable consumer intelligence.

AMIN’s thirty member agencies throughout the U.S. represent some of the country’s most respected independently owned communication firms. The renewed agreement will provide those members with comprehensive measurement of over 60,000 consumer elements, including 6,500 brands in 1,000 product categories, 1000+ attitudes and opinions, 800+ lifestyle statements, 90 proprietary segments and much more. The agreement also includes access to MRI-Simmons’ flagship study MRI-Simmons USA, Doublebase USA, as well as MRI-Simmons’ Catalyst platform, all of which are accredited by the Media Rating Council (MRC). AMIN members will also benefit from access to MRI-Simmons Connect, a passive digital measurement tool that provides detailed insights on consumers’ use of 10 traditional and digital media platforms.

“AMIN’s core mission is to help each member agency be the best it can, and having access to leading syndicated data resources is one way we operationalize that,” said Kelly Ferguson, president of the Americas Region for AMIN. “The MRI-Simmons platform, in particular, helps our members develop strategic thinking for their clients that is backed by an extraordinary depth of intelligence – and delivered with all the benefits of an independent agency.”

Powered by probabilistic and address-based sampling, widely considered to be the gold standard methodology by marketers and researchers alike, MRI-Simmons provides the most accurate and nationally representative view of American consumers. The company’s data assets help marketers and their agencies reduce ad waste, increase ROI, and drive efficiencies that are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with competing solutions.

“MRI-Simmons’ high-quality audiences have been an indispensable media planning tool for decades”, said Paul Shortley, Head of Commercial at MRI-Simmons. “As agencies and brands continue to grapple with diminishing consumer signals, those audiences have only grown in importance, and now play a pivotal role in activation and data enrichment initiatives. MRI-Simmons is proud to power AMIN with accurate and comprehensive insights that can be leveraged throughout the campaign lifecycle, from planning through activation and measurement.”
