Traditionally speaking, OTT was a “secure environment” typically set within the parameters of ‘digital commercial sales’ and championed by larger broadcasters and publishers. However, OTT has evolved over the years. There is a growing number of viral content platforms appearing each day across an ever-expanding app ecosystem. OTT advertising spend continues to grow at a rapid pace — Magna projects a 40% jump in 2018 — but the fragmented ecosystem has opened the door for fraudulent activity.
“Marketers have expressed concerns over inventory quality and ad fraud in OTT, and our industry-first MRC accreditation directly addresses those challenges. OTT advertising is rapidly expanding, and as the industry’s first solution for ad fraud detection and prevention in OTT, Pixalate is ready to guard the growing investments,” says Jalal Nasir, Pixalate CEO.
“The importance of trust and transparency, combined with the ability to control anti-fraudulent activities, directly correlates to a ‘maximum priority’ for advertising and content service providers. Pixalate bring outstanding protection to the Tappx portfolio of in-app programmatic solutions, and now we’re pleased to utilize Pixalate MRC accredited solutions for OTT. Pixalate has helped Tappx implement strategies that reduced IVT by blocking fraudulent apps and increasing app scale,” says José Manuel González Pacheco, Advanced TV & Audio Advertising Strategist and Partnerships Director at Tappx.
