Overall challenge
• Inconsistent methodologies used to measure the “viewability” of online ad impressions -commercial issue for all parties
• Impacts on many stakeholder groups across the industry - including advertisers, agencies and publishers
Towards a solution
• Created European cross-industry Steering Group to collaboratively develop an effective solution
• Identified primary and “urgent” need: • to ensure greater consistency of methods used to measure viewable digital advertising in
Europe (global outlook)
• Agreed overall purpose: • develop structured, harmonised best practice for measuring viewable digital advertising across
Europe (& beyond)

Phase 1 Phase 2
1. Set of principles to reduce measurement discrepancies between viewability measurement providers across Europe
2. Develop a pan-European viewabilitycertification framework to ensure viewabilitymeasurement providers are meeting the agreed set of European principles (see point 1) in terms of their measurement tools used
3. Evolve guidelines for defining a viewable impression based on space / time for which ads will be considered ‘viewable’
Core Objectives - At a macro level: • enhance minimum quality standards for all stakeholders across Europe• measure digital ad exposure which is deemed a key step to increasing confidence in digital ad
trading • improve advertiser confidence in the digital ad environment
N.B. Input from local IABs, EACA and WFA members and other stakeholders around the globe (e.g. testing and auditing companies along with other industry associations) – is an important part of this process.

Benefits for all stakeholders
#InteractIA
B
1. Significant reduction in viewability measurement discrepancies:
• ensure all measurement providers use a consistent methodology (based upon a standard and robust set of principles) to ensure results are comparable across providers
2. Towards a fully viewable digital advertising environment:
• standardised process and certification framework will help significantly reduce payment for non-viewable impressions
3. Improved transparency and value for all stakeholders (e.g. advertisers, agencies, publishers, measurement vendors):
• deliberately designed to have a positive impact upon the whole industry - irrespective of business model or size
4. Harmonised multi-national approach:
• generates significant benefits (efficiencies and effectiveness) to all multi-national businesses in the advertising ecosystem
• alternative is a series of disparate and costly national initiatives - in mid to long-term, would cause ongoing challenges for all major stake-holder groups
