Contacting Media Ratings Council (MRC)
Anyone have experiencing contacting them about investigations?
Do Nielsen data scientists care about managers telling MRs to falsify demographic household data?
Example, under 35 when HH not under 35. Size 1 when HH more than 1 person. Or telling reps to skip signing up BBO homes that want to do it? Do the data scientists care? Nielsen leaders allowed it and that went against what MRs' training and some... — read more
