Shopper Intelligence, Geo-Location and Automobile Data to Enable Deeper Insights on Consumer Behavior and Purchasing Decisions, Strengthening 605’s Platforms
605, a leading television measurement and analytics company, today announced new data partnerships with Catalina, PlaceIQ and Polk Automotive Solutions by IHS Markit, all the respective market leaders in shopper intelligence, geo-location and automotive information.
