Comcast wants to make “performance TV” finally auditable
Comcast Advertising announced Outcomes+, a new targeting and attribution suite spanning traditional TV and streaming, built on deterministic viewing data from 30M+ Comcast households and supported by partnerships including Mastercard, Clarivoy, DISQO, Fandango, and S&P Global Mobility. The launch also includes a new Amazon Ads partnership that gives Comcast Advertising’s local and SMB advertisers programmatic access to Prime Video inventory via Amazon DSP, alongside new AI-driven activation tools and a consolidated measurement dashboard (myResults).
Key Takeaways
- Outcomes+ spans activation and attribution across traditional TV and streaming, anchored on deterministic exposure data from 30M+ Comcast households (100M+ authenticated viewers).
- Comcast is adding AI tools to plan and find incremental audiences (proposal assistant, LENS for “light/no national exposure” households) and to match advertiser 1P data via Blockgraph On Demand.
- Attribution expands through partnerships (e.g., Mastercard, DISQO, Fandango, S&P Global Mobility/Polk, Clarivoy) to connect ad exposure to spend, visits, bookings, ticket sales, and auto transactions.
- New Amazon Ads partnership gives Comcast’s local/SMB advertisers programmatic access to Prime Video inventory through Amazon DSP—effectively extending “premium streaming” reach without negotiating direct deals.
- myResults consolidates campaign performance and outcomes reporting across TV, streaming, addressable, and sports into a single dashboard.
Why It Matters
This is the latest escalation in the “TV is performance now” arms race—and the subtext is power. If Comcast can make deterministic, cross-screen attribution easy enough for local and mid-market buyers, it pulls budgets back from digital platforms that historically captured credit via last-click measurement. The Amazon DSP/Prime Video access is especially strategic: Comcast becomes an outcomes layer and buying on-ramp to a must-have streaming supply source, not just a seller of its own inventory. Expect more détente deals where rivals share pipes—but compete on data, identity, and proof.
