“Getting to Know Ad Fraud” Breaks Down Key Fraud Components, Empowering Attendees with Insights to Improve Campaign Performance and Fraud Defense

Leading rewards platform Adscend Media, and Distil Networks, the global leader in bot mitigation, announced that they will co-host a webinar on combating digital ad fraud, taking place on Wednesday, May 30th at 2:00 p.m. EDT. The webinar titled, “Getting to Know Ad Fraud” will provide an in-depth look at how ad fraud occurs, and strategies to minimize attacks that cost businesses $6.5 billion in losses in 2017.

“Ad fraud and waste put the stability of digital advertising as a channel at risk. When ads don’t get in front of real customers, it weakens trust in the effectiveness of the entire ecosystem, and hurts publishers, agencies, and brands alike,” said Reid Tatoris, VP of Product Outreach and Marketing at Distil Networks. “Our goal is to highlight the full extent of the problem, and give a straightforward set of actions based on real-world expertise.”

Distil Networks, on the other hand, is a known leader in bot detection and mitigation. Thus, we’re able to discuss fraud from multiple angles, based on years of first-hand experience,” said Ali.
