Nielsen Named Top Small- and Middle-Market Analytics Provider by Consumer Goods Technology Magazine

New York, NY - Feb. 16, 2017 - For the second year in a row, readers of Consumers Goods Technology magazine have named Nielsen (NYSE: NLSN) as the analytics market leader for small- and mid-size businesses. The award recognizes the company's growing portfolio of solutions that balance speed, customization and cost, making high-quality analytics accessible for companies of any size.

When it comes to analytics, smaller companies generally lack the resources to compete at the same level as big manufacturers, but it doesn't have to be that way, says Chris Morley, President of Nielsen, U.S. Buy. Through our automated solutions that offer everyday analytics, we've broken paths and made it possible for any company to access the tools they need to make smarter growth decisions. For companies that were previously unable to tap into Nielsen's rich analytics-this is a game changer.

Nielsen has been a fixture on CGT's Top 10 service provider list for Demand Data Analytics since 2010. Rounding out the awards, Nielsen was also named a Top 10 solutions provider in the Trade Promotion Management (TPM) category. Another repeat win from 2016, Nielsen's Revenue Management & Optimization solution was awarded, which covers the important areas of TPM and Trade Promotion Optimization (TPO).

Morley added, We are honored to receive such distinguished recognition from CGT and their readers, and humbly thank our clients for their continued recognition.
