StackAdapt (www.stackadapt.com), the #1 Programmatic Native Advertising Platform helping brands accelerate customer engagement and acquisition, today announced that it has been verified by the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG) and our TAG-ID status is active in the TAG Registry. TAG (www.tagtoday.net) is an advertising industry initiative to fight criminal activity in the digital advertising supply chain.

What is Verified by TAG and the TAG Registry?

In order to solve the challenges of fraud, malware, piracy and transparency facing digital advertisers today, legitimate companies need a way to identify responsible, trusted players across the entire digital advertising ecosystem – to ensure that they are working with trusted parties at every step of their ventures. The TAG Registry makes that possible, providing a Who’s Who of trusted partners for any company involved in digital advertising, and creating a protected system of supply chain participants and other advertising technology companies that demonstrate their commitment to higher standards of transparency and disclosure to their partners.

Through the TAG verification process, StackAdapt reaffirms to the users of its programmatic ad platform its commitment to quality inventory sourcing and support of content owners and brands.

On receiving the Verified by TAG, Michael Shang, Director of Programmatic Partnerships and BI, said: “As an industry-leading native advertising platform, we have the responsibility to ensure that our publisher partners and marketers operate in a trusted environment. So it’s imperative to take proactive measures, such as working with TAG, to make the industry and the ecosystem as transparent and trustworthy as possible.”

StackAdapt’s state-of-the-art platform is where some of the most progressive work in machine learning meets cutting-edge user experience. Ranking the highest in customer satisfaction and performance by G2 Crowd in the DSP category for the fourth time, StackAdapt is one of the fastest growing companies in Canada and ranks 6th in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 ranking, and 23rd in Fast 500 in North America.
