Advertisers waste millions of dollars every year reaching the wrong people. Spending your money on people who are not core to your cause dilutes your campaign’s impact.

“I urge clients to think of us like the electrolyte powder that people add to water,” says Adam.
“Sure, you'll slowly become more hydrated by drinking water on its own, but adding the electrolytes hydrates you better and faster. Our audiences and software work the same way - we're an accelerant that drives magnified results for your campaign.”
#2 Improved Efficiency
Campaign efficiency is measured by comparing how much you spend on your campaign to the impact your campaign makes.

#3 Proactive Brand Reputation Management
More than ever before, buyers are choosing where they spend their money based on brand reputation.
But the only opinions that matter are the opinions of your target audience. With Tunnl’s media measurement suite, you always know what your target audience sees, hears, and thinks about your brand and can track how their perception of your brand changes over time.
Tunnl’s earned media measurement suite keeps you aware of threats to your brand reputation, enabling you to optimize your messaging strategy over time based on your audience's reception of your campaign ads:
- Tracking what your target audience hears about you, your competitors, and your allies on linear TV
- Recording clips of earned media mentions on linear TV for you to watch and analyze
- Monitoring changes in how frequently you, your industry, or your issue are mentioned on linear TV
- Measuring changes in impression volume for your brand, industry, issue, or topic
Our paid media measurement suite works the same way, but for the paid ads your audience sees from you, your competitors, and your allies, including:
- Where and how often your linear TV ads reach your target audience
- Estimates of how much other organizations are spending on linear TV ads to reach your target audience
- Recorded clips of the creative used in the paid ads your target audience sees on linear TV
- Changes in impression volume, market distribution, and issue distribution for linear TV over time
Movement studies by Tunnl enable you to track how your target audience's perception of your brand changes over time. This is a particularly helpful study to conduct when running sensitive, issue-based campaigns that could come off as polarizing to your audience. Monitor the counts between a set of audiences based on brand favorability to ensure the percentage of your target audience who favors your brand always surpasses the percentage who doesn't.
“Public affairs and advocacy advertisers often need to influence, mobilize, and persuade the very hard-to-reach individuals who impact the direction of legislation and public conversation around their issues,” says Adam.
“But how do you really know your ads are working? Tunnl provides an objective scoreboard for how well your paid and earned media is influencing members within your target audience, so there’s no question about how effective your ad dollars have been in achieving your goals.”
