Proud Engine Achieves JICDAQ Certification

Proud Engine Inc., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced that it has successfully secured the prestigious JICDAQ certification as of January 1, 2026. This notable achievement underscores the company's commitment to enhancing transparency and trust within the digital advertising ecosystem.

Understanding JICDAQ Certification

The JICDAQ (Japan Interactive Advertising Certification) was established by prominent advertising organizations, including the Japan Advertisers Association (JAA), the Japan Advertising Agencies Association (JAAA), and the Japan Interactive Advertising Association (JIAA). Their primary goal is to promote healthy development within the digital advertising market. The certification is awarded to entities that meet rigorous operational process criteria defined by JICDAQ, ensuring that they adhere to standards of operational integrity and ethical practices.

The recent move by Proud Engine to obtain this certification serves as a response to increasing demands for transparency and fairness in digital advertising, a trend that has gained traction in recent years. The certification illuminates the company’s dedication to responsible advertising practices, particularly in two critical areas:

1. Brand Safety Assurance: Ensuring the quality of advertising placements to protect brands from associating with inappropriate content.
2. Fraud Prevention: Implementing measures to exclude invalid traffic, including ad fraud, from advertising metrics.

Background of Certification Acquisition

Proud Engine has a rich history exceeding a decade in the digital advertising arena, encompassing its activities both prior to and following its business acquisition. This experience has enabled the company to understand the challenges faced by clients in their marketing endeavors. Providing solutions that address these challenges while ensuring safety and reliability in service delivery has always been a priority for Proud Engine.

By obtaining the JICDAQ certification, Proud Engine aims to publicly signal its commitment to these values and enhance user confidence in its offerings. The company is dedicated to continuous process improvement to elevate advertising quality and intends to collaborate with industry groups and partner enterprises to advance the reliability of the entire digital advertising market.
