The ad authentification and measurement platform DoubleVerify has launched a certification program for the connected TV (CTV) programmatic ad industry, aiming to reduce ad fraud and invalid traffic (IVT) across the CTV space.
To receive DoubleVerify’s CTV Targeting Certification, ad tech platforms must be able to demonstrate their ability to prevent fraud and IVT using DoubleVerify’s pre-bid app and device fraud protection for CTV inventory.
Why we care
Connected TV — or over-the-top (OTT) TV — ad revenues are expected to grow 31% this year, reaching $5 billion. Last July, the nonprofit consortium AdLedger released a report claiming as much as 18% of ad requests for CTV inventory was fraudulent — that’s a sizeable chunk for an ad industry forecasted to reach $5 billion. DoubleVerify’s own research revealed a 120% year-on-year increase in fraudulent CTV and mobile apps. The company reports it identifies approximately 100,000 new CTV devices as fraudulent per day.
DoubleVerify’s certification process uses custom-built algorithms and detection methods that do not rely on any SDKs or custom integration. “DV’s CTV Targeting Certification gives advertisers confidence that their CTV investment is protected,” said the company’s COO Matt McLaughlin.
