Nielsen Hosted 3rd-Annual Pre-GRAMMY Celebration Marrying Music and Advocacy

Nielsen hosted its third annual Pre-GRAMMY® party last night, Sunday, February 14, 2016, at Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails in West Hollywood, CA. The event, a celebration of the unique link Nielsen makes between entertainment consumers and their media and purchase habits, featured performances by Leon Bridges, nominated for Best R&B Album at tonight’s 58th Annual Grammy Awards, The Strumbellas, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and DJ Michelle Pesce.

This year’s event also spotlighted Nielsen’s relationship and ongoing initiatives with GLAAD, the nation’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) media advocacy organization. Members of GLAAD were on-hand to receive a charitable donation from Nielsen on behalf of attendees.
