Reportedly, YouTube Shorts, experiencing an impressive 120% year-over-year growth and amassing over 70 billion daily views, has become a key focus for advertisers looking to tap into its rapidly expanding user base. To address challenges associated with limited placement options in the Shorts format, IAS and DoubleVerify are now providing advertisers with valuable third-party assurance.

This transparency aligns with the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) framework and adjacency standards, providing a comprehensive view of brand safety, suitability metrics, viewability, and invalid traffic measurement.
According to IAS, the introduction of “Total Media Quality for YouTube” enables advertisers to access vital metrics for impressions served on YouTube Shorts, covering over 30 languages globally. This level of transparency empowers marketers to make informed decisions about their Shorts ad spend and placement strategy. DoubleVerify, a trusted solution for digital media measurement and analytics, will contribute by offering third-party viewability reporting on YouTube, adding an additional layer of verification to enhance the credibility of ad performance metrics.
