Pixalate ([www.pixalate.com](https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=bozdlv_JPg60f4Gmfmp_We56_eK6Jazb0Iab0f_d-BMpqh1WN-7YduaYYJEN1viGGxDOASHmP2kneKIGUOXkXg==)) is a global intelligence platform and ad fraud-protection provider offering a comprehensive suite of products that bring transparency to programmatic advertising.

Brands have many concerns about digital advertising’s effectiveness in engaging customers. [Data](https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=GS9IaELaLD1jtr0LGZYG9mb-yID56jZZ3ahgJYsFq2epnRAv2giXH0Q1GhEkCf7Nrcl13XsTHwhii5jUgyfjwQipYhYAfIXSQmQB2kP2CCMc-IJkSFvhoaNmtL2xKCk0ST3YM6GPMHqWrlp4JjCxd28gSDcn9UY4LmjGMbQ9GI8=) from Centro and Advertiser Perceptions showed that advertisers identified the ‘need for better insights/reporting deliverables from data’ as the top pain point in programmatic ad management. Agencies and advertising tech companies are galvanizing around viewability as a key performance metric and an illustration that ad placements are being seen, and therefore have value. When media buyers have stronger analytics for metrics such as viewability, they can better show that their ads work. “Viewability has become a standard currency in the digital advertising ecosystem,” said Jalal Nasir, CEO of Pixalate. “By enabling Pixalate’s viewability measurement within Centro’s platform, media professionals will have seamless access to the valuable metrics required to build trust with all parties in the digital ad marketplace.” ### **Benefits of Viewability** The Media Ratings Council (MRC) has defined a display ad as “viewable” when 50% or more of the pixels appear in a browser for at least one continuous second after the ad has rendered. Benefits for media professionals using Pixalate’s viewability reporting technology in Basis include: - Transparency: show advertisers if ads in campaigns are measurable for viewability, if the ads registered as “viewable,” and if viewability correlates with effectiveness - Performance: placement level reporting to empower viewability-based optimization on direct-buying, PMPs and openRTB -- all executed within the platform - Guidance: Learn which domains, exchanges, and placements resulted in higher viewability rates to guide how to buy on current and future campaigns Viewability is an online advertising metric that aims to track only impressions that can be seen by users. For example, if an ad is loaded at the bottom of a webpage but a user doesn’t scroll down far enough to see it, that impression would not be deemed viewable. Viewability is designed to let advertisers pay only for the ads that users could possibly see. In addition to the newly launched post-bid viewability reporting, Basis has been providing pre-bid viewability targeting for advertisers optimizing campaigns based on impressions that have been predetermined to have a high likelihood of being viewable. “Advertisers want actionable analytics and intelligence from ad tech, and we feel that pairing robust data on viewability with all-channel media buying tools can significantly improve campaign performance,” said Katie Risch, EVP of customer experience, Centro. “Pixalate offers powerful technology for measurement and advertiser security, and our customers can now readily access this data and apply it to differentiate their brands.” Centro’s Basis converges the major aspects of digital media into one business ecosystem. It is a SaaS advertising solution designed to boost media, team and business performance by enabling advertisers to plan, buy and analyze real-time bidding (RTB), direct, search and social campaigns in a single platform. **About Centro** Centro ([www.centro.net](https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=oTcOfwBl7YlL3daBhNRhHPGfovHD1HYcu5bc2LYq9VuzthdbK59nRVg2H2RSM97nRO9jmyEfQ4Rjv8kNqCGjAA==)) is a provider of enterprise-class software for digital advertising organizations.

Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.” ** ** *By clicking Download and entering your email address, you are agreeing to our [Terms of Use](https://www.pixalate.com/terms) and have read and acknowledge our [Privacy Policy](https://www.pixalate.com/hubfs/2024-08-20_Pixalate_Privacy_Policy.pdf). *Copyright © 2025 Pixalate** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * × ## Subscribe to the Pixalate Blog The first step in ad fraud prevention.
