Adcurate - Safe Exchange

Adcurate

Boost your monetization IQ with real-time ad metadata

What’s running on your platform?

Adcurate™ provides real time info on the human validated advertiser name, ad category, and audience suitability for all inbound CTV ads. Partners can leverage this data for a better understanding of what’s running on the platform, more accurate category blocking, and to reliably service publishers with sensitive audiences.

Accurate Data Makes Platforms More Effective

Most programmatic platforms rely on self-declared IAB advertiser categories to filter ads. This creates serious brand safety issues for publishers and audiences alike as categories can be misrepresented or incorrect and often aren’t granular enough to be fully effective.

Adcurate™ validates the advertiser and IAB category of every ad ensuring effective ad blocking from undesirable categories like alcohol and politics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of more accurate ad metadata?

More accurate advertiser category blocking. Safer service for publishers with sensitive audiences. Quick sourcing of brand safe ads that can run in any programming. Better understanding of what advertisers are running on your platform.

Why is the correct ad category data so important?

Incorrect category data makes blocking ineffective and can result in the wrong audience seeing an inapproporiate ad. Ads from blocked categories can damage your reputation and diminish trust. For instance, it’s common to see political ads incorrectly categorized as health and fitness or gambling ads mislabeled as entertainment.

CTV is a premium format and users expect a premium ad experience.

What do you mean by human verified?

Adcurate™ uses proprietary AI to pre-filter creatives, but ultimately all data is verified by a member of the Safe Exchange team.

We know bid stream data isn’t always accurate and AI isn’t a perfect solution – especially when dealing with suitability for sensitive audiences. In order to achieve the most accurate metadata there has to be a human element in the equation.
