LONDON, Feb. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bidstack
announced today the first results of its collaboration with Moat by
Oracle, sharing verified general invalid traffic (GIVT) figures
from a campaign featured in Football Manager 21 in the United Kingdom, and ran by Dentsu's DGame on
behalf of a leading global financial institution.
Preliminary analysis of Bidstack's PC inventory compared to
Moat's Global Q3 2020 Display benchmarks suggests Bidstack's
overall PC GIVT is currently performing ~3.5x better than the
industry benchmark (Moat Q3 2020 Desktop Display Benchmark = 2.9%
GIVT), with more than 99% of observed impressions verified as GIVT
free.
GIVT is a key component under the industry umbrella term of ad
fraud, which stems from invalid, malicious or fraudulent activity
that generates illegitimate ad impressions. According to
eMarketer's Global Digital Ad Spending Update Q2 2020 report,
worldwide digital ad spend is expected to reach $526 billion by 2024, making the fight against ad
fraud more important than ever.
"It is vital for brands to be able to verify whether their ads
are being delivered to a real person when running in-game
advertising. Moat by Oracle is excited to work with Bidstack to
give brands the confidence to invest in in-game advertising on a
global scale," said Mark Kopera,
head of product for Moat by Oracle.
Today's announcement is a key milestone in Bidstack's commitment
to create the most trustworthy in-game platform for brands,
advertisers and game developers. This follows Bidstack's
acquisition of cybersecurity business Pubguard in 2019 as an
independent subsidiary.
"We are very impressed with Bidstack as a trustworthy in-game
media channel for our clients, and having their numbers validated
is further proof that they're ready to unlock the potential of the
gaming audience for advertisers," said Luke
Aldridge, client partner at Dentsu's DGame.
"At Bidstack our number one priority is ensuring the integrity,
purity and safety of the gaming experience to both brands and game
developers. We are delighted that Dentsu's DGame found reassurance
in the data provided by Moat by Oracle and look forward to
continuing to create amazing in-game advertising campaigns with the
boldest global brands," said James
Draper, CEO of Bidstack.
