Inskin Gains IAB Gold Standard 2.0 Certification
Inskin Media, the world’s premier provider of high-impact digital display advertising, received its Gold Standard 2.0 certification from the IAB, underscoring its support for the highest standards in digital advertising.
The IAB UK Gold Standard was established in October 2017 with the goal of committing signatories to improving digital advertising standards by fighting ad fraud, discouraging ad blocking and maximising brand safety. As a long-standing supporter of best practices in digital advertising, Inskin Media was the first ad tech company to achieve the Gold Standard 1.0 certification.
The new Gold Standard 2.0 raises the bar in terms of its requirements, adding requirements for transparency and additional requirements for ad fraud. Requirements for 2.0 certification include:
Reduce ad fraud by implementing or demonstrating support for ads.txt, sellers.json and OpenRTB Supply Chain Object initiative
Improve people’s experience of digital advertising by adhering to the Coalition for Better Ads principles and the ‘Better Ads Standards’
Uphold brand safety by obtaining TAG Brand Safety Certified Guidelines
Increase transparency within the supply chain by adopting the Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF)
“For digital advertising to continue to attract investment, working towards a transparent and reliable eco-system will be critical,” said Matthew Newcomb, CEO, Inskin Media. “At Inskin, we have a decade long history of being at the forefront of improving digital advertising practices, and we’re delighted to have gained the new IAB Gold Standard 2.0 certification.”
