2015 q2 media quality report
TRANSCRIPT
Integral Ad Science’s Q2 2015 Media Quality Report
highlights the state of media quality in global online
advertising across display and video inventory. Integral
processes hundreds of billions of impressions quarterly
and is thus able to analyze the industry on a broad and
representative level, across multiple media quality metrics:
TRAQ (TRue Advertising Quality), Brand Risk, Viewability,
and Ad Fraud.
Q2 2015 Media Quality Report Highlights:
• Overall viewability dropped 5 percentage points year over year, or nearly 11 percent, from 49.4% to 44.0%, indicating that the industry has been slow to improve viewability rates despite increasing pressure from advertisers.
• Fraud levels decreased across the board compared to Q1 2015. Notably, Networks and Exchanges saw fraud decrease from 16.5% to 14.1%.
• Video fraud decreased from 14.0% to 11.6% while video brand risk decreased noticeably from 22.7% to 15.4%.
1All percentages based on impressions analyzed in Q2 2015.
