As one of the largest mobile advertising platforms in the world, AdColony provides a reach of more than 1.5 billion users globally.

At the time of this announcement, Şekip Can Gökalp, EVP, exchange at AdColony, said, “User-initiated in-app video is proving to be the most effective ad format in digital media, and we’ve seen that compared to mobile web, the in-app experience is more user-friendly and brings better results. However, the lack of transparency has held the space back.”

Şekip added, “We want to make in-app advertising 100 percent transparent, and when marketers can compare in-app to other formats in a measurable way, we are confident that they will continue to shift spend into space.”

Unlike online or mobile web solutions, which can integrate viewability partners with a simple tag, the in-app environment requires complex technology integrations at the SDK level. The integration challenges have led to a lack of adoption of mobile in-app advertising measurement solutions. Now for the first time, marketers who value transparency have a reach platform that is fully measurable with all major partners.

According to a 2017 Credit Suisse survey of marketing professionals responsible for a combined spend of $21 billion, nearly a third of respondents claimed viewability was their number one concern in digital advertising. This figure was over a 50 percent increase from a similar study done in 2016. Leading brands like Procter & Gamble have also gone on record claiming they believe that 20 to 30 percent of media spend is wasted due to a lack viewability and transparency.

AdColony is dedicated to solving this issue, and since integrating with Moat in 2016, the company has delivered results over 100 percent higher than benchmarks in multiple categories.

Specific highlights include–

Human Viewable Rate of 96.7 percent, 109 percent higher than benchmarks
Completion Quality of 100 percent, 123 percent higher than benchmarks
Reached Completion Rate of 93.5 percent, 228 percent higher than benchmarks

Currently, AdColony is also the largest source of the user-initiated video, with direct connections to thousands of the top apps in the world. With a mission to elevate the state of mobile advertising by focusing on the highest quality consumer experiences that deliver outcomes for brands and publishers on today’s most popular apps and sites, AdColony is trusted by Fortune 500 brands and more than 90% of the world’s top grossing mobile publishers.
