Comet is an intelligence platform that leverages consumer purchase signals for marketing outcomes. Backed by Affinity Solutions, a firm that provides consumer buy analytics, Comet enables marketers to directly link media exposure to consumer purchases with the use of Purchase Media Metrics (PMM), a new set of media metrics. This collection of metrics gives marketers a comprehensive picture of consumer spending, allowing them to view insights surrounding credit and debit purchases.
"Marketing comes with high expectations, yet billions are still invested based on legacy proxy metrics like views and foot traffic without a concrete understanding of business performance," said Damian Garbaccio, chief business and marketing officer of Affinity Solutions, in a statement.
