"Independently audited figures from ABC remain key to our business. As a joint industry currency they allow anyone who wishes to compare figures across different titles or publishers to do so on a like-for-like basis, and to be reassured that the figures are based on fact."
"The ABC/IAB Robots and Spiders list is a critical resource, providing a central repository where search engines and others committed to transparency have declared themselves."
"The industry is working hard to ensure brands are protected online. At GroupM, we believe it's vital to uphold and adopt industry standards. ABC's verification to the JICWEBS standards gives our brand and our clients increased confidence in digital trading processes."
"The ABC Brand Report helps to show true audience reach across multiple traditional and digital platforms."
