Following a highly successful beta this summer, IAS and TikTok have launched the new brand safety solution to give advertisers industry-leading controls consistent with Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) categories. With this pre-bid targeting solution, advertisers can now select IAS directly within TikTok’s platform to ensure their campaign runs near verified brand safe and suitable content. The new solution uses proprietary frame-by-frame video, audio, and text classification technology that IAS specially engineered to handle a high volume of videos across global, in-feed social environments. For TikTok, this technology helps advertisers to run ads within the “For You Feed” with even greater confidence. Backed by IAS’s powerful machine-learning, this sophisticated, three-layered approach goes beyond the creator level to provide precise scoring for individual videos across TikTok.
