Be reassured about Brand Safety with a Certified CV Tool
If a brand appears alongside offensive or inappropriate content, it can cause untold damage to their reputation.
There are a myriad of tools that claim to increase and enable brand safety and brand suitability. But brands need to trust that the technology they use is capable of reducing the risk of ad-misplacement. That’s where our independent Content Verification (CV) testing to the TAG Brand Safety Guidelines comes in.
What is CV Technology?
Content verification technology is used to recognise and categorise the content of an individual webpage.
Publishers use CV technology to categorise the content of their webpages so they can better package their inventory, while advertisers use it as an independent verification tool to check that brand safety requirements are being met by their media partners (e.g. not serving ads outside of exclusion or inclusion lists). In addition to verification, these technologies are able to assess the brand safety risk of content on a webpage, allowing advertisers to manage which environments their brand messaging appears in.
What does our CV testing entail?
Our CV testing is conducted in a walled garden, meaning that each tool goes through exactly the same testing algorithms within a controlled environment. This consistency means that our testing programme has a clear process and the results are comparable.
We independently check the CV tools performance in a range of scenarios; this technical process assures the user that the tool is performing as expected in relation to TAG’s Brand Safety Guidelines. TAG then certify the tools based on our independent technical testing.
TAG Certified CV tools are:
- Demonstrating accountability
- Providing confidence in the data they produce
- Raising trust and transparency
- Supporting industry standards
What’s the difference between brand safety and brand suitability?
Brand suitability is about choosing appropriate inventory according to a brand's own unique requirements. It therefore differs from brand to brand.
Brand safety is not specific to any one brand. It’s about stopping ads being served alongside harmful or inappropriate content which would be damaging for any brand.
