Third-party verification is a vital step in the cross-industry drive for improved quality standards in digital advertising across Europe
Brussels, 11th September 2018
Today, the European Authority (the operating division of the European Viewability Initiative, resourced by IAB Europe and EACA) announces the appointment of these three independent, media auditing organisations to undertake annual technical measurement audits of any company providing viewability measurement services across Europe. This will enable viewability measurement companies to achieve appropriate European accreditation (via a Certification Seal), recognised by all markets in the region and removing the need for further national accreditation. In turn, it will also complement the drive for higher quality standards in digital advertising across all markets.

In 2006, when we collaborated with the IAB US to create the IAB/ABC International Spiders and Bots List, we at ABC saw that invalid traffic was inflating online figures by as much as 60%. What we didn’t know was that 10 years later it would be costing the ad industry £5.5billion in wasted display revenue, according to research company Forrester.
