NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 12, 2017) - Flashtalking, the leading global independent platform for ad delivery, unification and insights, announced it has been granted Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation for its Desktop Display and Rich Media Served Ad Impressions and Desktop Display Viewability metrics. The accreditation further supports Flashtalking's leadership position in media quality measurement and optimization for advertisers.
"As a trusted partner to major brands and their agencies, our commitment to verification, quality and transparency is primary," said Flashtalking CEO John Nardone. "Our end-to-end solution would not be complete without the integral verification component. So, we are pleased to be accredited by the MRC in these areas so foundational to our solution and services."
MRC accreditation signifies that Flashtalking's accredited metrics adhere to the MRC's Minimum Standards for Media Rating Research and to industry-accepted guidelines for digital ad campaign measurement and viewability. The intensive independent CPA auditing process Flashtalking has undergone included rigorous checks on a solution's data fidelity, and on the effectiveness of its structures and processes for identifying general invalid traffic -- as well as comprehensiveness of the documentation, methodology, and IT infrastructure security.
"We congratulate Flashtalking for its commitment to transparency and data quality, and for meeting the stringent requirements necessary to earn MRC accreditation," said George W. Ivie, Executive Director and CEO of MRC. "Flashtalking's customers and others who rely on its accredited data now can do so with the added confidence that MRC accreditation provides."
