How and where to advertise, that’s why brand safety is one of the best ways to show seriousness and customer proximity.
Let’s start at the beginning, what is Brand Safety?
It is brand safety, a set of measures aimed at protecting the client’s reputation from the negative or harmful influence of questionable or inappropriate content during online advertising.

Brand Safety is that fine thread that connects brand and customer; it is one of the ways through which the company empowers the customer to identify with a brand that communicates well and in the right contexts.
Very often it can happen to a brand to mistakenly stumble upon the pairing of its identity with inappropriate or low-quality topics, risking losing a customer or receiving negative feedback.
According to a study conducted by the CMO Council-the only global network of executives dedicated specifically to knowledge exchange, thought leadership and relationship building between corporate marketing leaders and brand decision makers-and Dow Jones, 78 percent of Senior Marketers surveyed say that unintentional links to inappropriate content can actually damage brand reputation.
Although the marketing world is deeply convinced and aware of the existence of the problem, the reality is that 22 percent of the respondents in the same study said that they have within their careers real and specific cases of their brand being misplaced.
What would seem to be lacking then are barriers, a right strategy that allows companies to easily recognize risk where it exists, and a viable alternative to choose from.
What are the best options?
- Protection by keywords
If you have a business and you are at this point, you have already begun to understand how important Brand Safety is. At this level you have the option of using domain-level blocking, keywords, and targeting.
- Pre-bid protection
If you are at this level, you are moving on the right way. With this type of protection you are implementing prebid solutions that can block specific content by being able to recognize and block fraudulent or risky impressions.
- Brand Suitability
By juxtaposing Brand Safety with Brand Suitability, you are at a very good point. You then use unique profiles of your brand, information from market research, and strategic positioning to be able to identify specific environments in which to place your advertisements.
