Record number of companies achieve TAG Certified status as ABC sees 15% growth on awarded seals

TAG, a leading global initiative, works to combat criminal activity and foster trust within the digital advertising landscape. Its certification programs - which include Brand Safety Certified (BSC), Certified Against Fraud (CAF) and Certified Against Malware (CAM) - have been developed to address cross-industry supply chain challenges around these complicated issues.

According to TAG, a record 32 companies achieved TAG Platinum' status with three or more seals, and 218 companies achieved at least one TAG certification.

For ABC, we're proud to see a 15% increase YoY on seals being issued to our clients. For brand safety, we now audit 74% of independently certified companies, and across all seals that are audited we have a leading share of 57%.

As an approved TAG auditor, we deliver an independent and reliable assessment that ensures participating companies adhere to TAGs industry best practices. By undergoing our audits, companies show they can:

Demonstrate good practices

Identify operational efficiencies

Enhance trust and transparency
