Introduction

Nielsen Audience Measurement (medijske raziskave, d.o.o.) is the Slovenian member of The Nielsen Company, the largest provider of Television Audience Measurement (TAM) services in the world.

TAM research in Slovenia was initiated by AGB Nielsen, medijske raziskave, d.o.o. (previously named Media Services AGB d.o.o.) in January 1999. The first data was released in April 1999 based on a 350 household panel. The current panel is 450 households and is representative of the total population.

The fully integrated proprietary system of Nielsen Audience Measurement, medijske raziskave, d.o.o. provides an independent, reliable and transparent TAM system that over 100 television broadcasters, advertising agencies and advertisers rely on daily.

Our Mission

Reliable, valid ratings are the 'common currency' for the market's commercial airtime. Media planners and buyers evaluate the alternative programs offered to best achieve their advertising goals; broadcasters evaluate the program or station's popularity and determine how much to charge advertisers for commercials aired during a program or on a given channel.

A television audience measurement (TAM) system is reliable because of the provider’s solid experience in TAM data production; it is independent because the provider operates from a position of neutrality, recognised by all market players; and it is transparent because every system component is comprehensible and accessible to qualified, market auditing. Our mission is to establish and maintain the national common currency used by TV stations, media planners and advertisers for their TV advertising transactions, based on a reliable, independent and transparent audience measurement system.
