ABC once again delivers verification for online brand safety to AOL UK
Today we announce that AOL UK has once again been verified to the JICWEBS Digital Trading Standards Group (DTSG) Good Practice Principles by independent industry auditor ABC. The aim of the Good Practice Principles is to inject greater transparency into the UK digital display market, ultimately giving brands greater reassurance that their advertising is more likely to reach the right audience and is not associated with content that could jeopardise brand reputation.
By renewing their DTSG seal AOL UK has demonstrated their continuing commitment to transparency and helping the industry work towards greater online brand safety.

Hamish Nicklin, AOL UK Managing Director comments:
Brand Safety is a hot topic in the industry and one we take very seriously at AOL. It remains vital to our and our clients' businesses and being verified against the DTSG Principles gives them another reason to be confident working with us.
Jerry Wright, ABC Chief Executive, said: We are delighted to have verified AOL UK as compliant with JICWEBS Digital Trading Standards Group Good Practice Principles. ABC's verification service gives our industry confidence about compliance with JICWEBS industry-agreed standards and raises the bar in the important area of brand safety, a key milestone in the evolution of digital display advertising.
