The Explore Module within Vivvix allows for the ability to run custom TV Promo Reports. These reports are designed to show Broadcast announcements touting a program airing and are used to provide Pod Placement data. Placement can be paid or unpaid.

TO GET STARTED:

Click Explore on the left-side of home page and choose Create New Report.


STEP 1: PROFILE TAB

To run a creative report for competitors you’ve added to your profile via the My Profiles section, select a Profile in the drop-down menu.

Then choose either Link (Brands/Categories linked to selected profile) or Populate (All selections originally copied from profile).

To run a report with no profile selections included, choose None from the drop-down menu.


STEP 2: LAYOUT TAB

SORTS (Left side)

Under the Product sorts grouping, choose Advertiser.

MEASURES (Middle Column)

Dollars will be the default measure.

SELECTED SORTS & MEASURES (Right side)

Column Type: Leave the Column Type drop-down defaulted to Property.

Click the 3-dot action menu to the right of the Column Type drop-down and choose to Include Total Column, if needed.

Click the calculator icon next to your selected measure to add Share of Voice calculations.

% Down: Calculates % Share for the items included in the rows of your report (selected

Sorts).

% Across: Calculates % Share for the items included in your columns (Column Type)

In this example, we will choose the % Across calculation which will calculate the % of share for the Properties selected for your column type.

Click the list icon to rank your Advertisers.


STEP 3: MEDIA/MARKETS TAB

If you have a multi-market access, choose the market you need in the markets column (middle) . If you have a single market access, this step is not necessary.

In the Media column (left side), choose the TV media you would like to run your TV Promo report for.

You can run TV Promos for:

  • AVOD

  • Network TV

  • Spanish Language Network TV

  • Cable TV

  • Spot TV

  • Local Cable TV (Boston, San Francisco, Washington DC only. Units Only)

Click the checkbox under the Media column to include TV Promos.

**PLEASE NOTE: You MUST check the "Include Promos" box for TV Promos to appear in your report.

Click into the search field under Properties (right side) and select the properties you would like to include in your TV Promo report.

You can add the media properties in the order in which you would like to see them in the columns of your report. You can also drag and drop the media properties into the order you need.

**PLEASE NOTE: You MUST select media properties in this step if you have chosen "Property" as your column type in Step 2: Layout. If you do not select any properties, you will receive the below warning to include media properties before you run your report.


STEP 4: BRANDS/CATEGORIES TAB

Click into the search field on the left.

Click the checkbox next to the Category Level box and choose the Category level.

Search for and select the Promotional (MediaWatch Only) category.

Click the ADD button at the bottom.


STEP 5: TIME PERIODS TAB

Choose regular Calendar or Broadcast Calendar time period type.

Under the Frequency column on the left, choose the Time Period needed:

  • Single/Campaign One lump time period (i.e. Nov 2022 – Oct 2023)

  • Day Break the info out daily, where available by media type

  • Week Break the info out weekly, where available by media type

  • Month Break the info out monthly

  • Quarter Break the info out quarterly

  • Year Break the info out by year

Choose the time period by clicking the up or down arrows on the left of the calendar to advance to the year needed.

Once in the correct year, choose the month, then the date for your Start Date.

Repeat this process for your End Date.

Click the + icon to add that time period to your report.

To run a TV Promo report for the preliminary ad activity available in the system next day, uncheck ALL time period trim options shown in the image below:

  • Only include time periods for which complete data is available

  • Final Data Only

  • Include only properties monitored for all selected time periods

Unchecking the time period trim options ensures you will be pulling the preliminary data which is available in the system the next day.

**Please Note: Partial/Next Day TV data is considered un-edited “raw” data and is subject to change. Meaning, if a program runs long, it may take a few days for program titles to adjust and appear correctly. You may also notice gaps in the log. Any brand-new ads which aired during the event may take a few additional days for our classifiers to review and enter into the system. The log should be officially complete 48-72 hours after the event airs.**


Go to the top-left of the report, clear out Untitled Report, and give your report a title.

Click the Run arrow over towards the right to run your report.
