Excitingly Kantar Media has partnered with the ANA to build a new Cross-Media Measurement panel in the United States, that will be one of the first of its kind in the world. We are looking for forward-thinking, diverse, and client focused individuals to join our team and make this audience measurement panel a success for the ANA, the ever-changing US Media Industry and Kantar Media.

Kantar Media are experts in understanding the changing media landscape. Our Audience Measurement teams are charged with developing new approaches to measurement and that is where the new US panel comes in. The panel has been designed to address the needs of advertisers, who want to understand and plan campaigns across digital and broadcast platforms (from TikTok to CBS to YouTube) – we’ve pulled together all our latest thinking, our most up-to-date meters, and our relationships with the online publishers such as Google and Meta, and the result is something that we believe is the future of audience measurement.
