The “Video Ads Requested and Impressions rendered within Desktop, Mobile Web and Mobile In-App” accreditation granted to Flashtalking further underscores its widening command of media quality measurement and optimization for all advertisers, particularly those implementing multi-channel marketing.

The intensive independent auditing process Flashtalking undergoes annually includes rigorous checks on data collection and processing, organizational controls, and the effectiveness of its platform and processes for accurate measurement and identifying general invalid traffic.

“With the expansion of its accredited metrics to now include rendered video impressions in desktop, mobile web, and mobile in-application environments, Flashtalking again has demonstrated its commitment to transparency and data quality across the increasingly multichannel landscape, and for meeting the stringent requirements necessary to earn MRC accreditation,” said George W.
