By activating the IAS Publisher Optimisation solution, SCMP Magazines will directly improve their ad inventory’s viewability and match their advertisers’ brand risk threshold by avoiding risky content. They will also be able to measure and automatically optimise towards low IVT rates in real-time, ensuring that their traffic is worth the investment.

IAS’s Publisher Optimisation Solutions allows us to do so effectively through intelligent ad inventory management and optimisation.”

They’re looking for Quality Impressions: impressions that are viewable, by real people, in a safe and suitable environment, all within the correct geo. IAS’s Publisher Optimisation solution seamlessly integrates publishers’ ad servers and powers their inventory to automatically optimise ad delivery down to the placement level for direct and programmatic deals. We’re very excited to partner with SCMP magazines to help advertisers ensure that they continue to invest in digital safely and efficiently”.
