How we can help with your Media & Advertising Assurance needs

Contractual terms between parties in the advertising ecosystem are failing to keep pace with the evolution of the industry. We can examine contracts between parties, appraise rebate and revenue share agreements to determine undisclosed rebates, unauthorized mark-ups, and unbilled media. We can help determine whether contractual obligations have been met and whether the level of services paid for are provided.

Fifty-six percent of display ads are not actually seen1. We should hold publishers accountable: don’t pay for what you don’t get. Advertising effectiveness is further reduced due to the frequent use of ad blockers. We can independently verify delivery of placed media, and confirm your ad placements are running in the right places at the right time within TV and digital media.
