As brand budgets transition from TV to digital, audience guarantees and validation are becoming more commonplace. In a world where brands are seeking greater accountability, publishers must deliver in-target audiences with great efficiency and accuracy – using fewer impressions to reach a brand’s target means overall inventory can be better monetized.
