MRC Extends Innovid's Accreditation for Desktop Viewable Video Ad Impressions, Viewability Metrics, and Mobile Video ImpressionsNEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innovid, the world’s leading video marketing platform for advertisers to engage consumers across all screens and channels, today announced the continuation of its accreditation by the Media Rating Council (MRC) for desktop and mobile digital video and companion display served advertising impressions as well as desktop viewable video ad impressions and related viewability metrics. The accreditations further demonstrate Innovid’s ongoing commitment to providing a fully transparent, high-quality measurability solution for advertisers. Horizon Media is one of several Innovid partners that deeply values MRC accreditation. “Third party accreditation is a critical step when an endless supply of options are promising a variety of solutions. The MRC in particular offers accreditation through an in-depth audit that helps advertisers choose the right vendors to solve their problems. Our advertisers rely on not only our media expertise, but third party validation services such as the MRC to ensure accuracy and transparency,” said Greg Garunov, digital director at Horizon Media. “Unaccredited vendors are at a disadvantage as without it, their solution is a black box. In the current wave of industry scandals and need for transparency, accreditation by a third party is as important as ever.” The MRC’s continued accreditation of Innovid’s impressions and desktop video viewability metrics reconfirms that the company’s measurements comply to the MRC’s Minimum Standards for Media Rating Research, the MRC’s Viewable Impression Measurement Guidelines for desktop advertising, and the General Invalid Traffic provisions of the Invalid Traffic Detection and Filtration Guidelines Addendum published by the MRC. It also signifies that Innovid adheres to the Display Impression Guidelines and Video Impression Guidelines published by the IAB, as well as theMobile Web Advertising Measurement Guidelines put forth by the MRC, IAB, and Mobile Marketing Association (MMA). “We applaud Innovid’s ongoing commitment to high-quality measurement solutions and full transparency,” said George W. Ivie, Executive Director and CEO at the Media Rating Council. “Meeting the stringent requirements necessary to earn MRC accreditation is a challenging task, and Innovid’s continued compliance for desktop digital video viewability measurement, along with its desktop and mobile video served impression measurement, speaks clearly to its position as a leader within the advertising industry.” “As video continues to command more ad dollars, marketers need a third-party measurement solution that is accurate, transparent, and trustworthy,” said Zvika Netter, CEO and co-founder at Innovid. “We’re thrilled to receive this continuation of MRC accreditation because it reinforces our legitimacy and maturity within the video marketplace.” About Innovid Headquartered in New York City, Innovid also has offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, London, Sydney, and Tel Aviv.
