1. Organization
comScore, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation incorporated in August
1999, provides a digital marketing intelligence platform that helps customers make
better-informed business decisions and implement more effective digital business
strategies. The Company’s products and solutions offer customers insights into consumer
behavior, including objective, detailed information regarding usage of their online
properties and those of their competitors, coupled with information on consumer
demographic characteristics, attitudes, lifestyles and offline behavior.
The Company’s digital marketing intelligence platform is comprised of proprietary
databases and a computational infrastructure that measures, analyzes and reports on
digital activity. The foundation of the platform is data collected from a panel of more
than two million Internet users worldwide who have granted to the Company explicit
permission to confidentially measure their Internet usage patterns, online and certain
offline buying behavior and other activities. For measuring and reporting online
audiences, comScore also supplements panel information with Web site server metrics.
This panel information is complemented by a Unified Digital Measurement solution to
digital audience measurement. Unified Digital Measurement blends panel and server
methodologies into a solution that provides a direct linkage and reconciliation between
server and panel measurement. By applying advanced statistical methodologies to the
panel data, the Company projects consumers’ online behavior for the total online
population and a wide variety of user categories. Also, with key acquisitions, the
Company has expanded its abilities to provide its customers a more robust solution for
the mobile medium as well as expanded its abilities to provide its customers with
actionable information to improve their creative and strategic messaging. Recent
acquisitions have also enabled the Company to expand its geographic sales coverage.
