Prestigious Industry Oversight Body Grants Accreditation to Barometric for Served Ad Impressions and Clicks

 NEW YORK – September 6, 2017 – Barometric, provider of the industry’s most advanced cross-environment tracking and attribution solution, today announced its accreditation by the Media Rating Council, Inc. (MRC) for its measurements of served display and video ad impressions and clicks in desktop, mobile web, and mobile in-app environments, as reported by the Barometric advertising tracking and measurement platform. MRC’s accreditation, which was based largely on the results of an independent third-party audit, included an assessment of Barometric’s compliance with the General Invalid Traffic provisions of the Invalid Traffic Detection and Filtration Guidelines published by the MRC, and, as such, demonstrates Barometric’s dedication to increasing transparency and accountability within the industry.

“We congratulate Barometric for meeting the rigorous industry standards necessary to earn MRC accreditation for its measurement of served ad impressions and clicks,” said MRC Executive Director and CEO George W. Ivie. “MRC’s validation of these metrics evidences Barometric’s commitment to meet the demanding, ever-changing needs of brand marketers who are trying to manage their advertising strategy and spend with more precision and efficiency.”

Barometric currently processes 3-4 billion ad calls per day, and since 2011, Barometric’s technology has served, tracked, and organized petabytes of data for use by brands to understand cross-environment activity and gain actionable insights.

“The MRC sets the highest standards in the world for advertising measurement validation, so the Barometric team is extremely proud to receive this recognition for our platform,” said Anthony Iacovone, President of Barometric. “Now, with MRC’s accreditation, we’re even better positioned to help brands and agencies best optimize their campaign plans.”
