Integral Ad Science , a leading global media measurement and optimization platform, announced plans to expand into China to enable global advertisers with invalid traffic (IVT), fraud, and brand safety and suitability measurement, aligned to international and local standards. With the incorporation of a subsidiary in China and as a founding
member of IAB China, IAS will also offer local support to Chinese advertisers looking to grow their reach beyond China’s borders. This expansion will support IAS’s long-term international expansion strategy, solving a key challenge for advertisers looking for comprehensive measurement coverage across all markets.

“IAS is one of the only measurement solutions able to meet the unique demands of the Chinese market, and we’re aiming to fill a crucial gap in coverage for advertisers,” said Lisa Utzschneider, CEO of IAS. “With an expanded footprint, we will empower advertisers with actionable data they need to maximize their return on investments and support their growth in this dynamic and evolving digital advertising landscape.”

By entering the world’s second-largest advertising market, IAS is aiming to support advertisers as they invest in the country’s continued digital media potential. With China’s digital ad spending projected to exceed $140 billion in 2024, IAS is positioned to deliver greater value for advertisers seeking to achieve superior results.

IAS has been developing this market initiative with existing global luxury clients, many of whom have substantial media investments in China. IAS is committed to working alongside key industry partners to develop solutions tailored to China’s unique advertising environment.
