Taboola Partners with Integral Ad Science to Ensure Brand Safety

At Taboola, brand safety is paramount. The company wants to ensure every brand it works with feels comfortable knowing it is delivering their message in an appropriate, safe, manner. It’s a task it never takes lightly.

Brand safety verification technology has not typically been compatible with discovery and native advertising formats. This is because today’s tools are usually designed around third-party ad-server solutions for traditional display and video formats.

To help solve this issue, Taboola turned to IAS, a leader in the brand safety industry. Taboola wanted to make the most of IAS’s powerful data and build custom tools designed to keep safety at the forefront of everything we do.
