The Definitive Measure of Media Quality

The DV Authentic Ad® is a proprietary, MRC-accredited metric that ensures media quality. To be counted as Authentic, an ad must be fully viewed, by a real person, in a brand suitable environment, within the intended geography. DV is the only company accredited to measure and de-duplicate ad quality in this manner — enabling brands to use the Authentic Ad® count as a defining, holistic KPI for campaign effectiveness.

Accreditation

DV is accredited by the Media Rating Council (MRC) for detection and blocking of fraud and IVT within desktop, mobile web, mobile app and CTV environments. DV was the first verification company to receive certification from the UK-based ABC (Audit Bureau of Circulations) for Ad Fraud protection. DV has earned the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG) Certified Against Fraud seal every year since its inception in 2016.
