Pixalate this week announced it has earned accreditations for multiple metrics from the Media Rating Council (MRC) across over-the-top (OTT)/Connected TV (CTV) environments, including server-side-ad-insertion (SSAI) measurement metrics.
Pixalate says server-side-ad-insertion is one of the largest risk factors to OTT/CTV advertising, threatening millions in ad spend each year. Pixalate’s accreditation for SSAI measurement metrics spans desktop, mobile web, mobile app, and OTT/CTV environments.
