Guideline adherence strengthens SpotXchange ability to offer advertisers and publishers one of the most transparent, trusted ad networks on the market
DENVER – October 4, 2010 – Top-rated online video advertising network, SpotXchange, announced today that it had begun the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) self-certification process for ad networks and exchanges, which will help provide buyers of online advertising with more control, transparency and safety for their brands.
The IAB recently issued “Networks & Exchanges Quality Assurance Guidelines” and SpotXchange will spend the next several months ensuring that all of its internal processes adhere to the new IAB guidelines, and meet or exceed the required levels of detail for advertising source, content and placement. SpotXchange plans to be fully compliant with these IAB guidelines in early 2011.
SpotXchange is a leading online video advertising network that connects advertisers to websites offering streaming video content via an auction-based marketplace. Using a large variety of performance metrics and real-time optimization tools, SpotXchange’s technology aggregates ad space supplied by publishers and matches it with advertiser demand, scaling and adapting in-real time as marketers’ campaign needs change.
“Our team at SpotXchange is made up of people that are passionate about performance, and having our clients’ trust and helping them meet their goals are our top priorities,” said Mike Shehan, chief executive officer of SpotXchange. “The good news is that SpotXchange has already built our network technology to provide detail and transparency to our clients, so we don’t have far to go before we comply with all parts of the IAB guidelines.”
“The IAB Quality Assurance Guidelines require companies to make a significant investment of time and resources,” said Randall Rothenberg, president and chief executive officer of the IAB. “We applaud SpotXchange and all the companies that are leading the industry by providing their customers transparency in the process of buying interactive advertising.”
