They come in various flavors. The too-good-to-be-true TV spot. The “Pssst I can get you into XXXX, guaranteed, just pay me $YYYY.” The endless procession of awards and articles with price tags attached.

Last week, it was announced that the Avast subsidiary, Jumpshot, had ceased operations.

This “panel based” approach to attribution uses third-party data from providers like Jumpshot to infer earned media exposure.
