Dive Brief:
- Quantcast's new data-reporting system — Audience Insights — is working to link Web and mobile behavior data for publishers.
- The system takes a publisher's audience data — those that made in-app purchases for example — and delivers the Web sites those users are most likely to visit.
- The biggest advantage could be for publishers to more easily target mobile users through cross-promotional opportunities.
