Over the past several years, advertisers have begun to recognize the distinction between brand safety and brand suitability. Appearing beside unquestionably objectionable content poses a reputation risk for almost any brand. Brand suitability, however, is more subjective. What’s suitable for one brand may not be suitable for another — this is especially true when it comes to our evolving news cycle.

Fake news is a worldwide concern that not only shares misinformation on the grandest scale, it also fuels fear into the hearts and minds of every human being without prejudice no matter the language, culture or geography. Now, more than ever, it is imperative to not only support, but where possible, fund professionally produced news on YouTube and any other news channel to ensure only the high quality, fact-based, content is seeing the light of day.

Elijah Harris - MAGNA Global

As brand safety matures across the globe, many advertisers and agencies are expanding the concept of brands being more socially aware and pushing for alignment to corporate values. These values now include diversity & inclusion, algorithmic fairness, data ethics, sustainability, truth, and a balanced approach to sources of (mis/dis)information. Media buyers are putting a finer point on their market approaches and are discussing how to manage through to achieve a better complement of media “responsibility". Some have dubbed it "Responsible Investment", while other have focused on "Brand Integrity" or "Brand Assurance". Hear from the practitioners on why these definitions matter.
