In today's digital advertising landscape, brand safety has emerged as a paramount concern for advertisers and media agencies alike. As online spaces continue to evolve, ensuring that advertisements appear in contexts that align with brand values and audience expectations is not just a preference—it's a necessity. Concept X is at the forefront of addressing these concerns, offering comprehensive strategies and tools designed to safeguard brand reputation in the digital realm.
Understanding Brand Safety
Brand safety refers to the measures and strategies implemented to ensure that an advertisement does not appear alongside content that could be detrimental to the brand's image or offensive to its audience. The implications of neglecting brand safety are significant, ranging from damaged reputations to lost consumer trust and revenue. In response to these challenges, Concept X has developed an integrated approach to ensure ads are displayed in safe, relevant contexts, thereby aligning with brand values and enhancing audience engagement.
Concept X’s Approach to Brand Safety
Concept X takes brand safety seriously, employing a multi-faceted approach to protect advertisers' interests:
- Quality and Suitability Analysis: During the onboarding process, all media within our network undergo a thorough analysis in our ad server to assess the quality and suitability of websites for advertisements. This process, conducted in close collaboration with Google and utilized Supply Side Platforms (SSPs) such as Pubmatic, ensures that ads are displayed on appropriate websites, avoiding unsuitable or offensive content.
- Continuous Scanning and Filtering: Our ad server continuously scans and filters both the content and ads across all media in our network. This ongoing vigilance aids in identifying and removing harmful or offensive content, ensuring that campaigns are delivered in a secure environment.
- Adherence to Standards: The technical delivery of ads is always in compliance with current standards for ads.txt, sellers.json, and schain, reinforcing the transparency and integrity of our advertising processes.
- Use of Blocklists: We employ blocklists to exclude unwanted content and categories, which are regularly updated across our network. Additionally, all media have the option to create their own individual blocklists, offering further customization and safety measures.
- Contextual Advertising Demand: With the increasing restrictions on the use of cookie-based data, the demand for advertising in the right context has grown. Concept X has always excelled at ensuring contextually appropriate advertising. We have previously utilized external contextual tools to exclude content and articles related to specific keywords, such as during the Ukraine conflict. Responding to the rising demand, we have developed our proprietary contextual tool, Contxt. Contxt serves both brand safety and campaign targeting purposes, providing advertisers with optimal opportunities for safe and effective advertising.
