OpenMind and GroupM partnered with OpenSlate to test Facebook in-stream placement with dynamic block list capabilities. When assessing which client partner would be a good fit for this innovative test, Nespresso was top of mind.

“OpenSlate provided Nespresso assurance during its biggest yearly campaign that their brand would be aligned with appropriate media when shown on in-stream placement. Utilizing this dynamic technology allowed us to mitigate potential risk in real-time and protect the brand from being associated with any Page that may be deemed as inappropriate,” said Kate Smith, Associate Director, OpenMind.
