Retail Media

Certification made simple

1
Retail media is booming, but

Decisions slow down when:

- You can’t compare retail media networks like-for-like

- Attribution & return on ad spend rules differ

- Questions arise around invalid traffic and viewability

- It’s hard to prove true sales uplift

However, there is an industry agreed solution

2
The industry's answer:

Consistency and trust

The IAB Europe Certification delivers:

- Clear standardised definitions and metrics

- Easier cross-platform comparisons

- Transparent reporting for metrics like uplift and attribution

Backed by an independent audit

3
What does the audit cover?

We focus on 3 core areas:

Use of the right metrics - as defined in the standards

How consistently and accurately they're applied

Validation through a sample of your campaigns

Advertisers can compare networks with confidence.

4
How to prepare for the audit

Map your processes early.

Involve the right people for a seamless process.

Evidence is key: have as much prepared as possible.

We’ll set you up for success with our straightforward 3 step process.

Upon completion, you’ll receive a draft report before sending to IAB Europe who’ll then issue your certification!

Why an audit is important
