His appointment comes with the recent renewal of a long-term contract with research partner comScore and with the growing scale and scope of multi-platform measurement ahead.

“I am thrilled to take the UKOM CEO role at this time of dynamic evolution in the digital media market,” said Dowds. “UKOM oversees the industry governed and recognised standard of multi-platform audience measurement, and it is exciting to be at the heart of this organisation and working with comScore to ensure the highest possible standards and value are delivered to all stakeholders.”
