Audit Programme Will Deliver Key Metrics for Display, Video and Mobile Campaigns to Further Trust and Transparency in Digital Advertising
Stockholm, Sweden, July 4, 2017 – Comscore and TS Digital Nordic today announced an initiative to further trust and transparency in digital advertising with the introduction of a campaign validation audit programme for Swedish premium publishers. TS will use Comscore validated Campaign Essentials™ (vCE®) capabilities to offer the TS Digital (Nordic) Campaign Validation Audit, an audit programme available for publishers to showcase independent validation of display, video and mobile campaigns across their properties. As part of the audit programme,participating publishers will have the possibility to become whitelisted as a premium publisher in Sweden, managed via the TS Digital Nordic website. An example of the audit report is available here.
The bespoke campaign audit programme developed by TS will rely on vCE insights to provide publishers and their advertisers with a comprehensive view of impressions delivered across a variety of dimensions, including viewability, geography exposure and level of invalid traffic. These insights allow publishers to prove the quality and value of their inventory for display, video and mobile campaigns as well as provide consistent third-party data in order to create benchmarks to guide trading negotiations.
“Ad validation metrics such as viewability, invalid traffic and in-geography rates are critical for the industry in Sweden,” said Lars Björkman, CEO at TS. “The TS Digital (Nordic) Campaign Validation Audit uses Comscore vCE data to help publishers showcase their inventory while helping advertisers gain confidence that their campaigns are meeting delivery expectations. This new initiative will help deepen trust across our industry to support further growth in digital advertising.”
“Publishers need a comprehensive view of their delivered impressions for display, video and mobile campaigns to prove the value of their inventory and unlock additional revenue,” said Stefan Svanfeldt, Sales Director Northern Europe at Comscore. “Understanding the ad impressions that actually had the chance to make an impact is critical for the entire ecosystem. This new alliance highlights our commitment to bring increased transparency to digital ad trading.”
