Premion Now TAG-Certified Against Fraud

The local and regional advertiser-focused Connected TV/OTT platform launched by TEGNA in 2016 has been given the TAG Certified Against Fraud Seal, becoming the first “local OTT platform” to earn it from the Trustworthy Accountability Group, or TAG.

The TAG anti-fraud certified for Premion, TEGNA says, comes in recognition of its “commitment and rigorous steps taken in the fight against fraudulent advertising. Created by the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A’s), the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).

TAG is a global certification program fighting criminal activity and increasing trust in the digital advertising industry, and of increasing interest to broadcast TV companies in the CTV/OTT space. 

“Brand safety and performance outcomes are at the forefront of advertiser priorities and we’ve invested  in our capabilities to combat ad fraud since it first emerged in the OTT ecosystem,” said Premion President Tom Cox. “This recognition validates what we’ve been doing from the onset — directly  sourcing inventory from premium, known publishers and using cutting-edge technology to detect and  filter for fraud. We’ve taken proactive steps early and remain committed to providing our advertisers  with the highest level of accountability as the trusted and secure OTT advertising platform.”  

Premion says it secured the TAG Certified Against Fraud Seal by employing thorough processes and comprehensive systems to adhere to TAG’s compliance standards.
