IAG Research was a media-measurement company[1] founded in 1999 in New York City by Alan Gould, Ken Orkin and Eric Gould.[2] IAG conducted research with viewers to measure the effectiveness of advertising and program engagement across television and the Internet.[3][4][5]

IAG was created to address growing concerns from large marketers that consumers were avoiding television advertisements because of ad-skipping DVRs,[6] and because of high levels of ad clutter on TV.[7] These concerns led marketers to seek out more granular forms of TV measurement, as TV at that time represented their largest ad expenditure.[8]

In 2004, the company introduced a measurement for product placement and branded content to help marketers understand the performance and value of in-show brand integrations that could not be easily skipped.[9][10]

Some in the media buying and planning industry including Starcom expressed skepticism about IAG's online methodology for acquiring viewer data.[11] Over time IAG's methodology gained increased acceptance, leading more advertisers and all major TV networks to work with IAG prior to its 2008 acquisition.[12]

In 2006, IAG metrics were the first non-Nielsen ratings ever used by a media company, NBC, to guarantee the performance of its advertising to Toyota, J&J and Verizon.[13] In 2007, IAG began to integrate web and online video advertising metrics for its clients.[14]

In 2008, IAG was acquired by the Nielsen Company under the leadership of CEO David Calhoun.[15] The acquisition provided Nielsen with data on how consumers responded to television ads, alongside its measurement of TV viewership.[12][16]

Venture Partners

IAG's investors included Insight Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, and AEA Investors.[17][18]
