“Quantcast is committed to developing technologies that advance the advertising industry as a whole,” said Fraizer. “Today, advertising is at a pivotal moment in history; it controls and influences the vast majority of the messages that permeate our digital ecosystem. We have a responsibility to ensure our actions, as a collective, make a positive impact on society. One clear way to do that is through DEI initiatives that touch every corner of an organization. I’m thrilled to join Quantcast’s Board to help bring this vision to life.”

Frazier has received numerous industry accolades throughout her career, including the Howard University School of Communications Global Visionary Leadership Award and the Gerald Sass Award for Distinguished Service to Journalism and Mass Communication Education.
