Microsoft’s Audience Network reaches millions of customers through Microsoft owned and operated sites like MSN, Outlook.com and Microsoft Edge, as well as trusted third-party publishers.

The integration, which comes at no added cost to marketers, will automatically filter out high-risk inventory before the bid is even placed, further enhancing the Microsoft Audience Network’s offerings of contextual native placements.
“I’m thrilled that IAS is the first platform-wide brand safety partner across the Microsoft Audience Network. This means that we can provide the highest level of brand safety coverage for marketers across this inventory,” said Lisa Utzschneider, Chief Executive Officer, IAS. “The best part, IAS brand safety controls are automatically included for every Microsoft Audience Network advertiser at no incremental cost to them.”
