Assembly Control Unveiled
Assembly, a prominent media agency within the Stagwell Network, has recently made a significant stride in programmatic advertising with the introduction of Assembly Control. This innovative tool is aimed at providing brands with improved oversight over ad placements, ultimately enhancing campaign performance and brand safety. Set to roll out globally throughout July, Assembly Control reflects a strategic effort to address the inherent complexities and risks associated with programmatic media.
Strategically Designed Solution
Developed in collaboration with a leading ad verification platform, Assembly Control incorporates cutting-edge technology tailored to meet the agency's specific needs. Key features include a customized categorization of inventory, strategic inclusion lists, and advanced suitability controls, creating a more secure and effective environment for advertising investment. As Matt Adams, Global Chief Operations Officer at Assembly, highlights, this tool goes beyond mere risk management; it serves as a pivotal strategy to enhance media performance.
Assembly Control is particularly notable given that programmatic advertising now accounts for over 90% of digital display ad spending in the U.S., despite the complexities that come with it. The challenges—such as ad misplacement, brand suitability issues, and fraud—can significantly impact a campaign's effectiveness and a brand's reputation.
Wayne Blodwell, Global SVP of Programmatic at Assembly, emphasizes the importance of optimizing media dollars. With Assembly Control, not only is brand protection fortified, but active campaign performance improvements are also achieved through responsible programmatic buying practices.
