*About WFA’s Cross-Media Measurement work:*
To address the problem of disparate and numerous media channels that prevent advertisers having a coherent view of consumers, in 2019 WFA published its Industry Principles for Cross-Media Measurement.

The objective was to build alignment among global stakeholders, in order to solve a ‘North Star’ challenge: how can global advertisers and national advertiser associations better count unique (un-duplicated) people across all formats, publishers, platforms and media…

● in a consistent and continuous/always-on fashion;
● enabling full-lifecycle measurement across campaign planning and reporting;
● with accuracy and scale (measuring all impressions, not just a sub-set);
● in a full-funnel approach (reach & frequency also but also outcomes reporting);
● while strictly respecting user privacy and while limiting excess frequency of exposure of consumers to the same ad.

The WFA Technical Framework was developed to deliver against the North Star. A number of members oversaw the development of the Framework, including: ABInBev, ACA (Canada), ANA (US), Coca-Cola, Deutsche Telekom, ISBA (UK), Mastercard, P&G, PepsiCo, Nestle, Unilever, WFA.

We have been providing a forum for a number of global companies to collaborate. This is the Halo programme. The mission is to write open-source software code for the key Framework components which would be common to each local deployment.

In addition to the above advertisers and national advertiser associations, contributors currently include digital platforms such as Google, Facebook and TikTok; and measurement organisations such as ComScore, VideoAmp and Kantar. The first instances of these technical components are being tested in trials in the US and UK.

On the back of these trials, WFA expects participation in these working groups to expand in industry breadth as well as geographical representation, as other local markets seek to deploy the same technology.


*About the role:*
We are looking for a project leader to assist with the production of a local market ‘Playbook’. This document will assist local markets in the launch of the WFA-based measurement services in the US, UK, and other countries.

With contributions from participating companies, the Legal Workstream will:
● Partner with stakeholders to define common glossary key terms and definitions to be used consistently in all WFA-Halo documentation whether legal, technical, or commercial;
● Define contractual frameworks, including service level agreements, to be used between the parties implementing the WFA CMM model in a local market, by enabling a common approach across markets where appropriate, to save time and legal expenses.

The Commercial Workstream will:
● Define the cost variables required to implement the WFA cross-media measurement solution in market;
● Educate new markets on the significance and application of these cost variables, so that local governance bodies/measurement companies can decide on the best configuration for their market.

● Provide guidance on the possible governance frameworks that will meet the requirements to administer a WFA compliant measurement service.
