A great example of Visible Measures’ services can be seen in the case study of the viral Nike video in which Kobe Bryant jumps over a speeding car. Visible Measures identified that the video was placed in over 250 unique locations across the Web. Nike, placed the video in only 12 of those locations. Visible Measures also tracked the video was viewed 16 million times and attracted 35,000 comments. The company can identify whether those views were the original Nike seeds, or viral copies.
The Boston based company, plans to use the funding to continue growth collaborating with large brand marketers and video publishers.
