London: Gameloft, leading mobile games publisher, becomes one of the first in-app companies to receive the Internet Advertising Bureau’s (IAB) UK Gold Standard certification.
Gameloft creates and distributes games for digital platforms in over 100 countries across the world. As a leader in mobile game development, 2.5 million new Gameloft games are downloaded every day.
Gameloft’s in-house advertising arm was launched in 2015 to connect brands and agencies with players and offer advertisers a unique level of visibility and engagement. With a global audience of 114 million monthly active users, the in-game advertising solutions are split across display (interstitial, full-screen ads), video, rich media (mini-games and micro-sites) and native advertising (contextual interstitials and sponsored events).
The IAB UK Gold Standard initiative was launched to enhance transparency in the UK digital advertising market, reassuring brands that their advertising will reach the right audience and won’t be associated with content that could negatively impact brand reputation. The IAB UK Gold Standard has three simple aims – to reduce ad fraud, to improve the digital advertising experience and to increase brand safety.
By completing the rigorous accreditation process for full IAB UK Gold Standard certification, Gameloft has reinforced its commitment to improving standards across the industry and confirms the company’s position as a leader in in-app advertising best practice. This follows Gameloft’s verification to the JICWEBS Digital Trading Standards Group (DTSG) Good Practice Principles by independent industry body ABC.
John-Paul Burke, Country Manager UK & Ireland, said, “We are proud to be one of the first in-app companies to meet the IAB UK Gold Standard criteria and are thrilled that Gameloft has completed accreditation for IAB UK Gold Standard certification. The aims of the certification are synonymous with Gameloft’s goals; to deliver engaging advertising content for our customers in a non-intrusive way, and in a safe environment for our brand partners.
“Adhering to the Gold Standard provides Gameloft clients with the reassurance that they can trust us to deliver safe and successful campaigns.”
