The compliance audit is part of Bauer Media Outdoor’s ongoing commitment to ensuring full transparency and accountability for their digital outdoor campaigns, as well as a contribution to further industry commitment towards brand transparency and benefit to advertisers.
Joint Managing Director, Richard Bon, said,
“As Bauer Media Outdoor’s digital network continues to grow, and with Adshel Live being the largest digital Out of Home network in the UK, we’re excited about the increased flexibility and creativity we can offer to brands. As a result, it means delivering greater accountability. This audit strengthens Bauer Media Outdoor’s commitment to providing quality digital campaigns, as well as reflecting the overall positive growth of the digital Out of Home industry.”
Sam Tomlinson, Partner and leader of PwC’s Media Insight & Assurance team, added,
“Bauer Media Outdoor’s methodology sets out the end-to-end process for the delivery and reporting of campaigns across its UK digital network, which has been subject to independent audit by us at PwC. The DOOH sector is taking a proactive lead in responding to the increased demand from advertisers for verified data to justify their marketing spend. This transparency and accountability will benefit all stakeholders in the sector.”
