Kidoz: Your Trusted Partner in Ensuring Brand Safety and Combating Ad Fraud

In a recent report by Juniper Research, it was revealed that ad fraud is projected to cost marketers a staggering $84 billion USD in 2023, accounting for approximately 22% of the $382 billion USD spent on digital advertising. These numbers are indeed concerning for brands and advertisers, as the digital landscape faces growing challenges in maintaining trust and transparency.

Understanding Ad Fraud

Before we delve into our commitment to brand safety, let's clarify what ad fraud entails. According to the IAB, ad fraud is defined as "the fraudulent representation of online advertising impressions, clicks, conversions, or data events, in order to generate revenue." This malicious activity can be carried out through various means, including click bots, click farms, and incentivized clicks.
