SINGAPORE, June 18, 2024 — Integral Ad Science (Nasdaq: IAS), a leader in global media measurement and optimization, has announced a significant expansion of its Brand Safety and Suitability Measurement product for YouTube. This enhancement now includes reporting for Performance Max and Demand Gen campaigns on Google Ads.
Lisa Utzschneider, CEO of IAS, emphasized the company’s dedication to providing advertisers with valuable third-party assurance that their campaigns are running adjacent to brand-safe and suitable content. “We’re excited to provide further safeguards for their campaigns across YouTube,” she stated. “Our best-in-class measurement solutions coupled with Performance Max and Demand Gen will provide the actionable data needed to drive efficiency, scale, and safety.”
Performance Max, Google’s innovative campaign type, allows advertisers to access all Google Ads inventory through a single, unified campaign. According to Google Data, advertisers who adopt Performance Max experience an average increase of 27% more conversions or value at a similar CPA/ROAS, even when they’re already using broad match and Smart Bidding in their Search campaigns. This campaign type simplifies the advertising process by eliminating the need to manage multiple campaigns, enabling advertisers to reach their goals more efficiently across the entire Google Network.

Demand Gen reaches up to three billion users monthly, combining the best of Google and YouTube’s visual surfaces, powered by Google AI.
With this enhancement, IAS offers global advertisers:
- Third-Party Assurance: Verification that ads running on Performance Max and Demand Gen campaigns appear alongside brand-safe and suitable content, adhering to the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) framework.
- Data-Driven Insights: Accurate analysis of brand suitability trends to empower advertisers to make informed, data-driven decisions.
