Prevent Ad Waste

DV’s fraud measurement is part of the DV Authentic Ad®, a proprietary, MRC-accredited metric. To qualify as Authentic, an ad must have the opportunity to be seen, by a human, in a brand suitable environment and within the intended geography — providing a definitive measure of media quality across campaigns.
