Place Exchange Becomes First Programmatic Out-of-Home Exchange to Join Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG)

Place Exchange, the first true programmatic exchange for out-of-home and place-based media, today announced that it has joined the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), the leading self-regulatory association dedicated to responsible data collection and its use for digital advertising. The company has also joined the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG), a first-of-its-kind cross-industry accountability program to create transparency in the business relationships and transactions that undergird the digital ad industry.

Place Exchange is the first programmatic out-of-home platform to join the more than 100 leading advertising technology companies that comprise the NAI. Place Exchange’s acceptance into the organization, following the NAI’s stringent vetting process, reflects the company’s commitment to responsible data collection and its use for digital advertising.

“As out-of-home continues to become more data-driven, advertising in public space must meet rigorous privacy and transparency standards for consumers and remain a safe channel for advertisers,” said Dave Etherington, Chief Commercial Officer for Place Exchange. “As the first truly programmatic out-of-home exchange, we are proud to join the NAI and TAG and help set the bar on privacy, trust and brand safety in the industry.”

Founded in 2000, the NAI is the only membership organization comprised exclusively of third-party digital advertising companies to help promote consumer privacy and trust through responsible data collection and use practices in online, mobile, and other digital environments. As digital advertising content continues to grow and diversify, new technologies emerge, and new laws and regulations are put forward, the NAI maintains its position as a vigorous advocate for responsible advertising standards and self-regulation.

Place Exchange’s NAI membership follows its recent entry into the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG), marking the company’s deep commitment to promoting transparency in advertising and combating ad fraud. TAG Registered companies have been verified as legitimate participants in the digital advertising industry through a proprietary background check and review process.
