DSP’s “MarketOne®” begins offering
IAS brand safety and viewability functions
Enhancing collaboration with IAS for better ad verification

Tokyo, June 26, 2018 --- D.A.Consortium Inc. (DAC) and its consolidated subsidiary Platform One Inc. (P1), in collaboration with Integral Ad Science (IAS), will begin offering IAS’s functions related to brand safety and viewability through MarketOne®, one of Japan’s largest DSPs provided by P1.

DAC and P1 have long worked to improve the safety and transparency of ad delivery through aggressive ad verification(*1) initiatives(*2). As part of this effort, DAC and P1 began collaborating with IAS, and in April 2018, implemented a system based on IAS’s database (*3) to eliminate ad fraud in all advertising campaigns through MarketOne®. In the same month, P1 received certification as a “Certified Verification Partner” (*4) from IAS. Today’s announcement of the new features of MarketOne® will reinforce the collaboration between the two companies and further enhance the transparency and reliability of MarketOne®.

■Collaboration overview
For all advertising campaigns through MarketOne®, customers will be able to use IAS’s brand safety and viewability data for target delivery as well as its verification functions that detect inappropriate advertisers and eliminate fraudulent ad content. Similar to the system to eliminate ad fraud, which began in April 2018, this new functionuses pre-bid detection and blocking functions (*6: see chart below) so that advertisers can avoid bidding where brand image may be damaged or viewability is questionable, thus preventing wasteful ad costs that are not in keeping with their intent.

▼Viewable Rate=50% or more as target

DAC and P1 are strongly committed to promoting the health and development of digital advertising. To that end, they will continue to focus on resolving ad verification issues in programmatic advertising.
