Venatus Awarded Tag Brand Safety Certified Seal Validated by ABC Audit

GLOBAL | MAR ‘23

Venatus has been awarded the TAG Brand Safety Certified Seal by the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG) for the third year running, after demonstrating its compliance with brand safety standards, as independently validated through a rigorous audit by ABC.

Brand safety continues to be a big worry for those trading online advertising, with a recent study revealing 40% of media industry leaders expect brand safety concerns to increase in 2023.

By undertaking ABC’s audit, Venatus has proved its processes meet industry best practices on this complicated and fast-changing challenge. This gives brands greater confidence that their advertising will not be associated with content that could jeopardise their brand reputation.

As a TAG approved auditor, ABC supplies the online media industry with a trusted and robust validation service, delivering reassurance to those in the online ad trading industry. 

Matt Cannon, Chief Operating Office at Venatus comments:

“As brand safety is a top priority for our advertising partners, Venatus strives to offer trustworthy and reputable environments to advertise on. Once again, we’re very pleased that our enduring commitment to maintaining rigorous brand safety standards, has resulted in the upkeep of our TAG Brand Safety Certification since 2020.”

Simon Redlich, Chief Executive at ABC, said:

“Congratulations to Venatus for successfully completing our audit and achieving TAG’s Brand Safety Certified (BSC) Seal. BSC Certification is a clear demonstration that Venatus is committed to upholding industry-recognised brand safety standards, protecting the integrity of their partners as well as the wider digital advertising supply chain.”
