In Teads Ad Manager, advertisers are able to set up Brand Suitability targeting to ensure the avoidance of content that is considered unsuitable for their brand. Teads have integrations with Integral Ad Science and Grapeshot, enabling advertisers to mirror their targeting rules, when measured by either of these providers.
Integral Ad Science
Key Benefits
Full alignment with IAS measurement
Maximizes reach by only blocking IAS unsuitable content (and nothing more)
Avoids wasting ad opportunities caused by IAS blocking tags
Key Details
With this targeting option, clients can replicate their IAS brand suitability profile (previously set within IAS platform to verify or block their impressions) by:
Selecting among 200 optimized IAS brand suitability segments in order to exclude certain topics (e.g. health, environment, politics), or
Entering their custom segments IDs previously created within the IAS platform from a custom brand suitability rule (e.g. specific content with negative sentiment) or a keywords list (e.g. competitors' names).
How to Setup IAS Brand Suitability Targeting?
Clients should only replicate pre-bid within Teads Ad Manager the targeting set for verification purposes within IAS platform. This is to ensure full alignment between the content filtered out pre-bid and the impressions verified with the IAS client's verification tags.
Step 1. From the client's IAS campaign setup report: Copy the brand suitability segments listed in the Context Control section:
Step 2: In Teads Ad Manager > Brand Safety > Brand Suitability section: Paste the IAS brand suitability segments IDs:
Please note that segment IDs must be between 1,000,002 and 1,999,999.
That's all! Topics related to these segments will be automatically avoided pre-bid on Teads' side.
Note about Keywords Segments
With this targeting option, clients can also enter the IDs of their keywords segments created within the IAS platform from a keywords list (e.g. competitors' names). To know if a client has set up such a segment, please check if the IAS Setup Report has "Keywords List Applied" set to "Yes":
The keyword segments IDs are not displayed in the IAS Setup Report or within IAS UI (only the last 4 digits are displayed in IAS UI, such as IAS_4172_KW). So please reach out to your IAS Contact or Teads Contact to retrieve the full keyword segment ID which must be between 1,000,002 and 1,499,999.
Grapeshot
