Media Tag Overview

A Tag, sometimes called a pixel or beacon, collects data from digital properties, such as websites or digital ads. Resonate Tags play an integral role in providing you with deep insights to better understand and engage with the people interacting with your brand and digital footprint.

Client Administrator users and Analyst users in Resonate have the ability to create and manage their own Resonate Analytics Tags. These Tags can be placed on websites and media properties.

This Knowledge Base section focuses on how to identify, create, and implement your company’s Media Tag Strategies successfully for reporting in the Resonate Ignite platform. By analyzing the data captured in Tags, you can then gain insight into the audiences that are visiting your site.
