The companies say the initiative will enable NBCUniversal to improve cross-platform measurement of TV, mobile and digital platforms to better understand consumer consumption.
The Summer Olympics games will be held August 5 through August 21.
NBCUniversal will gain data and analysis from TiVo Research’s set-top-box data -- some 2.3 million TV homes -- as well as RealityMine’s focus in digital and consumer behavior research.
Key areas that will be covered include the relationship between TV viewing and tablet/smartphone usage around Olympic content; how viewers engage with content outside their home, including workplace and social settings; the impact of social media on the consumption of Olympic content; and the effectiveness of advertising on all platforms.
Alan Wurtzel, president of NBCUniversal Research, stated: “What makes the Olympics such a notable research environment is the enormous amount of consumer activity on multiple platforms for a nearly three-week span, enhancing our ability to measure behavior and detect trends across time.”

Brazil is melting down ahead of the 2016 Rio Olympics.

to measure Olympic cross-platform performance?
Last week, Nielsen convened its first "Total Audience Measurement" Advisory Board Meetings in LA and NYC.
So many questions! So few answers!!
