As one of the largest mobile advertising platforms in the world, AdColony provides a reach of more than 1.5 billion users globally.
At the time of this announcement, Şekip Can Gökalp, EVP, exchange at AdColony, said, “User-initiated in-app video is proving to be the most effective ad format in digital media, and we’ve seen that compared to mobile web, the in-app experience is more user-friendly and brings better results. However, the lack of transparency has held the space back.”
Şekip added, “We want to make in-app advertising 100 percent transparent, and when marketers can compare in-app to other formats in a measurable way, we are confident that they will continue to shift spend into space.”
Unlike online or mobile web solutions, which can integrate viewability partners with a simple tag, the in-app environment requires complex technology integrations at the SDK level. The integration challenges have led to a lack of adoption of mobile in-app advertising measurement solutions. Now for the first time, marketers who value transparency have a reach platform that is fully measurable with all major partners.

This figure was over a 50 percent increase from a similar study done in 2016. Leading brands like Procter & Gamble have also gone on record claiming they believe that 20 to 30 percent of media spend is wasted due to a lack viewability and transparency.
