Quick Fire Brand – Protecting your Media spends from being eaten by bots

Today brands are spending close to $602bn worldwide on digital advertising. Out of which, $100 bn is estimated to be wasted due to ad fraud by the end of 2023. The biggest gap to be filled is the trust gap between various players in the value chain.  The advertiser should have transparency and confidence in where and what money is being spent and at the same time, the publisher and agency partners should mirror the brand’s expectations. mFilterIt is that critical bridge which fills this gorge. We are on a mission to bring more trust and transparency into the digital ecosystem. We are educating and empowering advertisers to spend their ad spends more confidently and attract cleaner traffic to their ad campaigns.
