Barb at Bafta

12 December 2017

In November 2017, we hosted Barb at Bafta, an event focussing on the need for a trusted and accountable audience currency.

Further down this page you’ll find a highlights video, plus videos of the presentations that our speakers gave at the event.

To learn more about the multiple-screen viewing data that will launch in March and what next year has in store for Barb, read Justin Sampson’s article in Campaign. Broadcast also covered the glimpse into the future we offered at the event in this feature.

To coincide with Barb at Bafta, we published First look: Online TV viewing patterns revealed, a new white paper exploring who exactly is watching TV on their PCs and tablets. Read the paper here.
