While viewability has been kicking around as an issue for the Australian market for the past couple of years, there is growing consensus it is high time the industry got its act together and came up with some agreed rules for everyone to play by.

Nathan Powell, director of sales – digital product for Nine Digital, speaking on a viewability panel last week at the Mumbrella360 conference, says all publishers need to sign up to third-party auditing of their performance to ensure there is a level playing field for marketers to make buying decisions.

“The one thing I will add there for those clients that have different ways of buying on different measurement standards is just be upfront and transparent with publishers and agency partners, it’s about making sure you are clear about what success looks like and what the benchmark is. And when everyone involved knows what that is, we can actually create a solution for you.”
