Why Brand Safety Matters in Digital Advertising
In programmatic advertising, brands can inadvertently appear alongside controversial, harmful, or inappropriate content. A single misplaced ad can generate negative publicity, damage brand equity, and erode consumer trust built over years of careful marketing.
High-profile brand safety incidents have cost companies millions in brand damage and led to advertising boycotts of major platforms. Advertisers now demand granular control over where their ads appear, making brand safety a critical component of any digital advertising strategy.
URL categorization provides the intelligence layer that powers brand safety solutions. By classifying domains into detailed content categories, advertisers can create precise inclusion and exclusion lists that protect their brand while maintaining advertising reach and effectiveness.
