Innity、アジア地域初となるIABのViewable基準を満たすサービスとして認定
Innity, the leading online media and advertising technology provider in APAC, operating one of the largest ad networks and ad exchanges in the region, today announced that it is the first Asian company in the region to be certified by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) as compliant with the Viewable Impressions standard.
The audit process for IAB certification, performed by BPA Worldwide, certifies that Innity’s viewable impression methodology is fully compliant with IAB guidelines for viewable impressions. This reinforces Innity’s role as an industry leader in quality distribution and gives its clients an additional level of assurance that their advertising dollars will be spent in a fully accountable environment.
According to comScore, in 2012, millions in advertising dollars were wasted on networks and exchanges where only a third of all display ads were viewable – a viewable impression occurs when 50 percent of an ad’s pixels are on screen for one second. Similarly, a study by Google in 2014 also revealed that consumers do not see 56% of ads served on websites they visit.
Hence, IAB stressed that with the new viewability standard, marketers will be provided with a more accurate way to quantify their investment and deliver increased value for all parties involved in brand advertising.
In order to receive certification, Innity went through a rigorous self-certification process, including attending training sessions and conducting intensive internal audits to meet the stringent criteria set forth in IAB’s guidelines.
“I am very proud that Innity is one of the first companies in the region to receive the IAB certification for ad viewability measurement. This certification validates that Innity’s technology and methodology is thorough, consistent, and aligns with the latest standards in the industry. This is a reflection of our commitment to allow advertisers to invest more confidently in digital media,” said Phang Chee Leong, CEO and co-founder, Innity.
Moving forward, Innity will work closely with publishers in our network to offer viewability tracking to strengthen their inventory optimization and monetization mechanisms. Additionally, its viewability technology will also be integrated with Innity’s native advertising technology.
Innity has been a member of IAB since 2009, and is also duly certified by IAB for its Ad Impressions, Clicks, Digital Video, Mobile Web, and Rich Media technology.
