Here is a brief overview of both platforms:
DoubleVerify is a leading digital media measurement, data, and analytics company that offers brand safety and fraud prevention solutions for advertisers and publishers. Its brand safety solution is designed to protect advertisers’ reputation and ensure their ads are not shown in inappropriate environments.
A global food and beverage company used DoubleVerify’s brand safety trackers to make sure I wasn’t placing their ads next to content related to hate speech, violence, or other inappropriate topics.
DoubleVerify’s solution gave the company “verification” (and through DV reporting, provided me with proof) that I wasn’t running their ads where I said I wouldn’t.
Additionally, it helped the company to mitigate potential reputational risks and achieve greater campaign effectiveness — this is hugely important for the bigger multinational brands.
IAS is a leading global ad verification platform that provides brand safety, ad fraud, and viewability solutions for advertisers and publishers. Its brand safety solution uses machine learning algorithms and human review to ensure brand safety and prevent ads from appearing in inappropriate contexts.
A leading automotive advertiser used IAS’s brand safety solution to make sure I wasn’t placing their ads next to content related to adult themes, violence, and other inappropriate topics.
IAS’s solution allowed them to use blocking tags which not only reported if their ads displayed next to “brand unsafe” content, but also stopped them from displaying thus avoiding them showing up by mistake.
This helped the company to protect its brand reputation and achieve greater campaign effectiveness.
Bottom line, both DoubleVerify and IAS provide effective brand safety solutions for advertisers AND publishers.
The choice between the two depends on your specific needs and preferences as an advertiser / brand.
It’s worth noting however that both platforms offer free trials, which can help you assess which one is best for you before committing to a long-term contract.
