Native advertising technology company ADYOULIKE has today (15 August, 2018) become the first pure-play native advertising company to receive the Internet Advertising Bureau‘s (IAB) Gold Standard certification
The Gold Standard initiative was launched in October 2017 as an effort to raise standards across digital advertising. The Gold Standard has three simple aims – to reduce ad fraud, to improve the digital advertising experience and to increase brand safety.
ADYOULIKE is committed to reducing ad fraud by implementing ads.txt, obtaining JICWEBs DTSH certification for brand safety, and adherence to the IAB’s LEAN principles and the Coalition for Better Advertising Standards. The certification confirms that ADYOULIKE native advertising meets the IAB Gold Standard.
