SeeHer, in partnership with Comscore, unveils industry-first Gender Equality Measurement for digital platforms at ANA Data, Analytics And Measurement ConferenceGEM , the global gold standard for measuring gender bias in media and marketing, has now been expanded to digital planning and buying through GEM Audiences' on Comscore's Plan Metrix platform.

New York, NY, August 21st, 2023 - ANA's SeeHer, the largest global movement to eliminate gender bias in advertising and media and Comscore (NASDAQ: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting, and evaluating media, today at the 2023 ANA Data, Analytics & Measurement Conference unveiled GEM Audiences, an industry-first digital planning audience insight tool.

Working in conjunction with SeeHer, Comscore created a new way for brands and advertisers to understand the significance of gender equality for their target audiences from a behavior, interests, and attitudes standpoint by embedding Gender Equality attributes in the Comscore Plan Metrix Suite.

Through GEM Audiences in Comscore, this new intelligence solution is poised to be the digital standard that helps brands understand, beyond demographics, how to reach and engage consumers with a gender equality mindset.

SeeHer has continued to advance vital tools that allow marketers and their agencies to embed gender equality in their media planning and buying practices. This ground-breaking measurement system for the ever-evolving digital ecosystem is one that will reach the next generation of consumers like no other has before. We encourage every marketer to critically evaluate and challenge their current system of operating, since consumers, 52% of which are women, say that the accurate representation of women and girls should be a business imperative. Those who tap into what we offer not only experience immense sales success, they join a movement in shaping society for the better. We are incredibly honored to partner with Comscore on this next dimension of world-changing technology, said Christine Guilfoyle, President, SeeHer ANA

This partnership with SeeHer is part of Comscore's larger effort to amplify the belief that every dollar, every screen, and every person counts as well as the importance of looking past demographics and generalizations for fair representation in audience intelligence, according to Danan Ren, Senior Vice President, Head of Client Insights at Comscore. With the SeeHer partnership, Comscore is not only bringing the most comprehensive view of the consumer across all media platforms, but also supporting responsible media and data collaboration efforts with organizations that help brands make a difference. As we bring this to market with SeeHer and the ANA, we hope to engage with more brands who are looking to deepen their audience understanding beyond demographics and quantify the impact of their responsible media initiatives.

Gender equality across the entire media and marketing ecosystem is a consumer expectation, with 90% of adults agreeing that media is critical in shaping gender roles. Yet, only 16% of women feel that they are usually portrayed accurately, added Latha Sarathy, Chief Research Officer, ANA and SeeHer. Ads that consumers feel truly reflect them result in a 5x increase in sales. This partnership with Comscore on GEM Audiences is the valuable next step as it addresses an urgent need for more advancements in audience intelligence and measurement to help marketers better understand and prioritize digital audience segments and media properties that strongly align with gender equality.
