comScore Loses CEO Wiener and President Hofstetter
comScore, the U.S.-based digital market research company focused on audience measurement for advertisers, is restructuring its leadership after the exit of CEO Bryan Wiener and President Sarah Hofstetter. Wiener left citing irreconcilable differences with the board over strategy, a stance reported by the Wall Street Journal. Hofstetter, who had joined the company only six months earlier, is also departing. Dale Fuller, a current board member, has been named interim CEO while the company searches for a long-term successor. The company said it would not immediately fill Hofstetter’s position and is actively seeking a long-term leadership solution. In the interim, comScore anticipates changes to its strategic positioning and governance as it continues to provide its data and analytics to advertisers, agencies, and publishers. The leadership changes reflect ongoing realignment within the digital measurement space.
Moderate industry impact due to leadership shake-up at a notable AdTech/MarTech and market research firm.

WBD White Paper Calls for Measuring TV Ad Basics
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) published a white paper titled 'The Unified Reach Paradox' during Advertising Week New York, advocating for standardized TV ad measurement fundamentals. The paper presents findings from WBD's investigation of five major measurement providers—VideoAmp, iSpot, Comscore, Innovid, and Samba—across more than 50 campaigns on linear and streaming. WBD found significant variance in universal audience estimates, impression counting, and cross-platform coverage. For example, Comscore counted 43.5M impressions for a campaign while iSpot counted 24.6M. A survey of 154 agency and marketer decision-makers revealed that 73% consider unified reach a critical missing metric, and 79% cannot fully trust outcomes without it. WBD calls for industry standards on impression and viewability counting, and transparency in projection methodologies, urging a 'nutrition label' approach.
