Congratulations to my friend Paul Lindstrom. Paul is a SVP at Nielsen Strategic Research, and he was just ranked Number 23 on Mediaweek‘s list of the Fifty Most Indispensible Executives Shaping the Future of Media. Here’s what the magazine said: “A 30-year Nielsen vet responsible for its first services for measuring cable, Lindstrom has become the research giant’s go-to guy for developing measurement services for emerging media. He created a common format for reporting audiences of out-of-home video networks, paralleling Nielsen reports for cinema, the largest segment of the video OOH business.
Several emerging OOH video ad networks have signed up, including CBS Outernet, Ideacast.” Outstanding, Paul–way to go! (Although they might have mentioned that you are also an affable host, a good dad, an enthusiastic fan of Briarcliff’s various teams, and a good friend.)
