Our industry needs to clean up its act by moving away from buying inventory that supports ad placements repeatedly being placed next to poor, cheap and fraudulent content.
As we continue our blog series on brand safe environment, we thought it best to touch on the 5 biggest issues facing our industry in this programmatic era (Bots, fraud, Brand safety, Control & Viewabilty) – regardless if you are a publisher, an agency, a media supplier or a brand, you should be able to implement real solutions not a quick fix.
What we [as an industry] should be interested in first and foremost is control: to be more specific it’s about being able to create and control, create what you want, create viewabilty through ad placements, whatever it is, you should have control through creation.
Clients and brands have strong demands, and rightly so. As touched in our previous blog with what happened to some of the big media players recently – and if Google can’t completely control this, how can we? [as local, regional and global digital professionals]

Our industry needs to clean up its act by moving away from buying inventory that supports ad placements repeatedly being placed next to poor, cheap and fraudulent content. Also, being judged on media centric KPI’s (CPM’s, CPC, CTR rates), we risk spiralling out of control as an industry. We must redefine the goal posts and start implementing smart metrics that are more connected to business goals and outcomes. Finally, increasing the % of ad dollar received by the publisher would guarantee a shift of mindset, whereby the publisher would therefore reinvest back into quality inventory and content.
“That’s why with the 1Tag solution, as a buyer, I can use it to buy my DSP and send it direct to the publisher. I know exactly what I’m buying and there is very very little clutter, so by the time the ad $$ reaches the publisher he’s not getting pennies he’s getting dollars.”
Christos Solomi – Executive Director, MENA
