DoubleVerify Enhances Brand Safety Features for Snapchat Advertisers has announced an expanded partnership with Snapchat, enabling DoubleVerify to deliver comprehensive brand safety and suitability measurement for advertising campaigns on the platform. This collaboration aims to provide marketers with essential tools to ensure their promotions align with their brand values while effectively reaching their target audience.

DoubleVerify’s robust brand safety and suitability measurement solutions offer critical insights into where ads are placed across various platforms. This means brands can determine whether their advertisements are displayed alongside objectionable content, ultimately allowing them to make informed decisions about their advertising strategies. By ensuring that ads are placed in safe environments, businesses can protect their brand image while also holding platforms accountable for maintaining high standards in ad placements.

According to DoubleVerify:

“With this release, global advertisers can independently authenticate campaign quality and protect brand reputation within Snap’s engaging, user-generated platform. DV’s advanced AI-driven classification technology allows advertisers to align their brand promotion with appropriate and suitable content, maximizing transparency, effectiveness, and confidence in their digital investments.”

This partnership provides assurance that your Snap promotions will not appear alongside offensive or otherwise concerning content, based on the parameters you’ve established. Advertisers can have peace of mind knowing their campaigns are monitored and validated, allowing for a more strategic approach to their marketing efforts.

The recent update strengthens Snapchat’s existing partnership with DoubleVerify, which already includes ad viewability and fraud verification services for Snap campaigns. Additionally, Snapchat has implemented a tagless integration for DoubleVerify customers, allowing for seamless tracking of specified ad sets without the need for special URLs or UTMs, thus simplifying the advertising process and enhancing overall efficiency.

This initiative is part of Snapchat’s broader strategy to enhance its advertising offerings, which also included the addition of brand safety and suitability measurement from Integral Ad Science (IAS) back in June. By embracing these advanced measures, Snapchat is positioning itself as a reliable choice for advertisers looking for safe and effective advertising solutions.This is crucial as Snap seeks to attract a more diverse range of advertisers, particularly small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), to leverage its extensive reach in both the U.S. and EU, which are its most lucrative markets.

However, Snap must maximize its advertising opportunities as its audience growth has significantly slowed in both regions, indicating a need for strategic enhancements to its platform to maintain competitiveness in the market. By implementing such measures, Snap aims to solidify its position and attract more advertising investments.

Despite the challenges in its primary markets, Snap still has significant opportunities for growth in other regions. As the company focuses on expanding its advertising business, it must reinforce its foundational markets to ensure sustained growth and profitability in the ever-evolving digital landscape. The addition of third-party verification could be a pivotal factor in attracting more advertising investments, thereby enhancing Snap’s overall market appeal.
