Enhancing Brand Safety with Reticle

September 11, 2024

In today’s digital advertising landscape, brand safety measures are crucial for protecting your brand’s reputation. It ensures that your ads appear in environments that align with your values and avoid contexts that could be harmful or misaligned with your brand’s image. 

Despite the best efforts to maintain brand safety, recent high-profile incidents have underscored its challenges. For example, Taylor Swift’s Person of the Year article in Time was flagged as brand unsafe, highlighting how even esteemed content can be misclassified. Ads have also appeared alongside offensive or politically sensitive material or on platforms where brands had no intention of being associated.

These issues underscore a broader reality: traditional brand safety measures, while important, may not always fully protect your brand. Ads can sometimes land in unsuitable environments or miss out on valuable targeting opportunities due to the sheer volume and complexity of online content.

This means that not only are we working to prevent ads from appearing in inappropriate contexts, but we are also ensuring that they reach audiences who are most receptive to your message.
