“At a time when brand alignment with appropriate content has never been more important, our launch of Brand Suitability Tiers delivers a more nuanced and brand-specific way to assess content and context,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “Optimizing for brand suitability is just one part of our broader drive to ensure that all digital transactions are transparent and secure. Through Brand Suitability Tiers, advertisers are able to carefully balance brand reputation protection and campaign scale, while publishers are empowered to better meet advertiser expectations and maximize yield for the quality content they produce.”
For advertisers, DV’s Brand Suitability Tiers offer 13 categories of content tiered by three levels of risk. Content risk is determined by both content type and topic. This sophisticated approach to content classification lets brands exercise more refined avoidance strategies while preserving campaign scale — for example, advertising beside trusted news, while avoiding sensitive topics in unprofessional or UGC content. In total, DV clients will be able to take advantage of 89 unique brand safety and suitability settings, offering the most comprehensive and flexible coverage available in the market.

This transparency enables better optimization and inventory allocation, allowing publishers to maximize monetization of their supply. Today, DV serves over 110 publishers, including more than half of the top-100 Comscore-ranked web publishers.
“It’s essential to foster collaboration between advertisers and publishers,” said Matt McLaughlin, COO, DoubleVerify. “With Brand Suitability Tiers, publishers have full transparency into how their supply is classified by category and risk tier — helping them to better align their inventory with advertisers’ unique requirements and preferences.”
