Since deploying our AdSphere™ system in late 2014, over 178 million short form airings have been detected in addition to over 945.6k infomercial airings. Today, AdSphere™ monitors over 165+ networks. Industry billing was over 20.3 billion based on our 2023 Industry Study.

To make sure your media properties are receiving their fair share of these market dollars, DRMetrix has developed AdSphere™.

Discover your network’s share-of-market

The days of erroneous and misleading data are over. DRMetrix monitors commercial grade network feeds in a DPI compliant manner. We never report MVPD airings as national or overvalue schedules. The underlying data that our share-of-market reports are built on is industry leading.

Compare what advertisers, brands, and creatives are spending on your network against seven other networks of your choosing. Each group of eight networks is considered a comparison set. You can create as many comparative sets as you wish for any date range including for the current media week!

Filter for any combination of creative lengths to determine your network’s share-of-market for spot, 5 minute, or 28.5 minute infomercial business.

Determine which campaigns are spending the most across your chosen universe of networks and discover advertisers, brands, and creatives that are running on competitive networks.

The sample report below is a brand centric share-of-market analysis across eight networks. We can see that the brand with the top spend is Dovato with an estimated spend of $624,701 across the 8 networks.

A View Into Your Delivery like Never Before

The other side of sales is strong client services and being able to address the needs of your agency clients. If your network is one of the 165+ monitored by DRMetrix then AdSphere’s Network Log View will allow your client services team to create some very comprehensive reports. Imagine being able to quickly send the client a video clip of every one of their airings to prove clearance while addressing any and all possible questions such as:

  • 1 When did the spot or infomercial run?
  • 2 Were there any audio or video problems with the airing?
  • 3 Was the 800 number or promotion code in the airing correct?
  • 4 Did a competitor’s spot run in close proximity?
  • 5 Did the spot clear in the correct break type?
  • 6 Was the program description correct? (for infomercials)
