The staggering financial losses and the lack of real, tangible progress at mitigating fraud highlights the importance of the industry's Trustworthy Accountability Group in fighting this war. It also underscores the need for the entire marketing ecosystem to manage their media investments with far greater discipline and control against a backdrop of increasingly sophisticated fraudsters.” Bob Liodice, ANA President & CEO AdWeek| January 19, 2016 Others weighing in: other associations & non-profits, industry and business press, and vendors with media buying and auditing solutions.

That's up from last year, where bot percentages ranged from 2% to 22%, according to ANA.”

Follow ANA Guidelines • Be aware and involved • Understand the programmatic supply chain and request inventory transparency (especially programmatic video buys that tend to have higher CPM and higher fraud levels) • Request transparency for sourced traffic • Include language on non-human traffic in terms and conditions • Use third-party monitoring to ensure compliance with anti-fraud policies • Require media quality measurement vendors to demonstrate effective anti-fraud technology and provide measurement transparency • Announce your anti-fraud policy to all external partners • Support the Trustworthy Accountability Group Source: Association of National Advertisers

- 30. 30 3. Learn to Live With It • You Won’t Be Alone. Among the most experienced users of programmatic—U.S. advertisers—only 3-in-10 survey respondents say that marketplace quality is a ‘very serious’ issue (source: ExchangeWire), while more than 90% of respondents in EMEA and APAC (less experienced users) believe that’s the case. Even with major media outlets like the WSJ and NYT keeping issues in the news, experienced marketers know that a tactic like programmatic is going to continue to generate favorable ROI for the foreseeable future. • Focus on a Communication Strategy. A big fraud-related challenge for marketers is addressing internal questions at their companies, so getting prepared to address the issue up-and- across the organization can pay big dividends. When doing so, rely on quantitative metrics that support the use of digital advertising – warts and all – within the context of the overall marketing mix. This includes creating conversion- and acquisition-based reporting that measures marketing performance across key tactics (digital, print, radio, events, etc.). Get people thinking about the big issues, not the noise.
