Millennial Media Methodology: Network reach is calculated from the count of unique users across our entire network. Millennial Media uses proprietary techniques to uniquely identify at least 75% of our user base persistently across our network and tracks the unique reach over the course of the month-long period. For the remainder, the unique user data is used to calculate the average frequency of views that a user consumes in a month. We apply that average frequency to the remaining impressions to determine our network-wide reach. Data provided is derived from Millennial Media server log activity for the time period indicated. Cost Per Engaged User (CPEU ) averages overall campaign spend against the number of unique users who engaged with the campaign creative. CPEU is derived by applying the overall media spend to the total number of users that engaged in any one of the actions which campaigns provided, such as expanding a rich media creative, visiting a landing page, watching a video, etc. For questions about the data in this report, or for recommendations for future reports, please contact us at research@millennialmedia.com Millennial Media, Inc.
