Strengthen your reputation with a TAG audit

As a leading media auditor we work with over 100 TAG certified brands, underpinning TAG’s (Trustworthy Accountability Group) various certification programmes.

How do I demonstrate I have trusted inventory?

Whatever your role in the digital advertising ecosystem, ad misplacement (brand safety), fraudulent traffic and malware can cause headaches.

Without protection, you and your clients are at risk from damage to either your reputation or your ability to drive revenue – or both.

Show your quality with TAG's Seal of Compliance

Our independent audit based on TAG’s globally recognised standards reduces the risk of ad misplacement and protects you against criminal activity.

Achieving a TAG seal demonstrates your commitment to upholding industry agreed standards. Ultimately showing you have that all-important ‘trusted’ inventory.

Did you know, we can also audit you from any geographic location, so whether you have one or twenty offices around the globe, you can include all of your business operations.

For a comprehensive approach, why not go Platinum?

TAG Platinum Members have earned each of TAG’s available Certifications:

  • Brand Safety Certified

Achieving Platinum status through our independent audit sets the bar even higher. It demonstrates a significant investment into reducing three of the biggest challenges in digital advertising.

Going Platinum will enhance trust and transparency for your trading partners and also means you’re leading by example for the rest of the industry. Plus, our enticing Platinum discount offer sweetens the deal.

Steps to certification

 

Getting to know you

Your dedicated account manager will guide you through the process and confirm your requirements. Once your TAG membership is confirmed and we’re all set up, we’ll start the audit process.

Preparing for audit

Our Audit Manager will explain the relevant TAG guidelines and understand how your business aligns with them. We take a consultative approach, offering feedback and compliance recommendations before the audit. We'll provide a tailored information request document outlining everything you need for the audit.

Conducting the audit

Once you've gathered evidence, we'll schedule the audit, usually conducted via video call. Our audit includes reviewing your policies, conducting tests, assessing reporting, and confirming data integrity.

Sharing the findings

After successfully completing the audit, we'll issue a private audit report to both you and TAG. This report details your compliance with TAG Guidelines.

Receiving the seal

TAG will review our report and, upon approval, grant you the TAG Seal(s). At this stage, your account manager will share our free marketing support materials to maximise the value of our partnership.
