NEW YORK -- David Calhoun, chairman/c.e.o. of The Nielsen Co. here, will be among the members of a panel discussion that will presented by the In-Store Marketing Institute, with the support of The Nielsen Co. and the P.R.I.S.M. Consortium.

The P.R.I.S.M. Project: Pioneering Research for an In-Store Metric is the industry's most significant initiative toward reaching a standardized, syndicated measurement model to evaluate in-store consumer reach, according to Nielsen. The P.R.I.S.M. Project is a collaboration of Nielsen In-Store, the In-Store Marketing Institute and the P.R.I.S.M. Consortium.

The Nielsen Co. said that during the 75-minute panel presentation, it will unveil the exclusive findings of the U.S. national phase of The P.R.I.S.M. Project and will provide the first insights into how The P.R.I.S.M. Project will improve the way the retail and media industries think about the in-store environment and more. The national phase was initiated by Nielsen In-Store on April 29, 2007.

"The P.R.I.S.M. findings will change the way manufacturers, retailers and agencies view the in-store environment," said Peter Hoyt, executive director of the In-Store Marketing Institute, who will introduce the panelists and moderate the discussion. "It confirms that in-store consumer reach can be measured and predicted with great reliability, which will enable marketers to enhance the efficiency and quality of the shopper's experience,"
