Global Advertisers Can Now Benefit from AI-Driven Content Block Lists and Increased Brand Suitability When Advertising on Facebook and Instagram Feed and Reels
SINGAPORE, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Integral Ad Science (Nasdaq: IAS), a leading global media measurement and optimization platform, today announced a new test with Meta of a first-to-market optimization solution for advertisers. IAS's third-party Content Block List solution for ads on Facebook and Instagram Feed and Reels will offer global advertisers the ability to automatically avoid placing ads next to content they deem unsuitable for their brand, as aligned to industry standards. This solution is open to IAS customers who currently use measurement for reels and feed solutions on Instagram & Facebook. Content Block Lists will be available to all advertisers early 2025.
"As the first provider to test this solution with Meta, we are delighted to enable advertisers to drive engagement and reach users in brand suitable, contextually relevant environments across Meta's platform," said Lisa Utzschneider, CEO of IAS. "Our Content Block Lists improve media quality while reducing brand risk for advertisers by providing industry-aligned tools that enable them to avoid content they deem unsuitable and safely scale their campaigns."
IAS has completed rigorous testing for Content Level Block Lists to validate performance improvements and brand suitability. Paired with Total Media Quality (TMQ), IAS provides end-to-end campaign support for advertisers across Facebook and Instagram Feed and Reels with measurement and optimization.
"This solution demonstrates our continued commitment to provide global advertisers more tools to support their brand suitability goals," said Samantha Stetson, Vice President, Client Council and Industry Trades at Meta. "Alongside Meta's inventory filter for Feed and Reels, we're excited to give advertisers even more control over where their content appears on our platform."
