Research

One of IAB Europe's three core objectives is to provide the proof of the value of the online advertising industry through a programme of research. IAB Europe brings together the best of research available on the European interactive advertising market through its network of members, national IABs and partners.

 

We run our own research projects involving the collection of data held within the national IABs. IAB Europe processes the collected data so that it can be compared country to country, creating European benchmarks. In addition, by sharing relevant findings and analysis from some of the most respected market research companies, we are able to offer our members insight into this dynamic and complex industry: comScore Europe, Insites Consulting, Screen Digest,TNS, Gemius and Nielsen.
