The Current State of Brand Safety

Brand safety remains an ever-present concern in digital advertising. A November 2018 survey found that 60% of advertising industry professionals in the U.S. were worried about brand safety. That’s down quite a bit from 2017, when it was a whopping 90%, but it’s still a clear plurality nonetheless. A separate 2019 report found that close to 37% of digital media pros in the U.S. see brand safety becoming an even more pressing concern in the year.

“With the stakes higher than ever, it’s critical that digital marketers around the world have a holistic approach to brand safety, digital ad fraud and viewability,” said Wayne Gattinella, CEO of DoubleVerify. “Advertisers are demanding clarity and confidence in the quality of the online platforms and content with which their brands are associated.”

Of course, before getting into brand safety guarantees, it helps to note what the term actually means. The ebook provides an overarching definition, clarifies how it’s different than brand suitability and discusses why every brand needs their own custom brand safety definition.
