Today, we announce a license agreement with Inscape, which enables clients to access ACR data from 22+ million Smart TVs. We prioritize making TV data work smarter and faster for marketers and advertisers in all industries. This partnership advances our existing clients of advertisers to converge digital and linear data, giving the industry data-driven insights, key learnings, and opportunities to optimize campaigns driving their media investments to better performance outcomes. As well as a great opportunity for new clients to take advantage of the new area in ad tech we are in, which is converging CTV and linear TV advertising for the best performance outcome of all marketing campaigns.
“Linear has long been an effective way to maximize reach and scale, and through this arrangement with Inscape allows us to uplevel our efforts by complementing linear data with CTV insights across millions of devices. Alone, linear data and CTV data may miss opportunities to reach and engage with unique audiences but together they unlock new measurement opportunities to navigate the modern TV landscape,” said Jeremy Haft, Chief Revenue Officer at Digital Remedy.
This new era of the ad tech industry is shifting and more advertisers are adjusting their strategy approach to their media investments on TV. Linear is here to stay and is a huge component of the media mix, even though many marketers are shifting to CTV. This collaboration presents the opportunity for many advertisers to look at their TV spend through a combined lens and optimize toward winning performing channels that are aligned with their campaign goals. In addition, our participating advertisers will obtain a more holistic understanding of cross-platform and data-driven measurement and attribution, which is a game changer for unifying measurement attribution across digital and linear to effectivity reach their targeted audiences and optimize the customer journey.

Last week, in honor of World Mental Health Day (October 10th), Harmony—our social responsibility team, hosted our fifth annual (and third virtual) Mental Health Week. Mental Health Week is an initiative designed to encourage Remediers to discover ways to improve and maintain their mental health in the workplace/while working from home.
We took each day to focus on a different aspect of mental health and wellness, aiming to provide a well-rounded experience and a healthy and happy environment for all of our employees. Team members received daily communications of activities, along with tips and additional resources to promote mental health. Here’s a look at what we planned:
Monday: Nourish
We kicked off the week with an invitation to create personal snack boxes via SnackMagic, a service that lets people build their boxes, choosing from a menu of 2k+ delicious (and nutritious) options—sent directly to their homes.
We shared links for all employees to submit Sunshine Notes, an optional, anonymous message to help brighten someone’s day and spread positivity. Remediers could tell coworkers how valuable they are to the team, share how much they enjoy working together, or give a special shoutout for their hard work on a project. The Harmony Team collected the Sunshine Notes throughout the week and distributed them to each respective recipient on Friday.
Tuesday: Healthy Mind
Tuesday’s focus was on creating a tidy and zen workspace. We also shared a roundup of meditation apps. We encouraged the use of our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) program, which offers a variety of free and confidential resources available to employees and their family members. Some resources included are a 24/7 emotional support helpline with a licensed therapist, guidance for leadership, mental health resources, and much more. Additionally, as part of a mini-series, we hosted an optional webinar titled “Managing Employees Wellness and Well-Being” for all Digital Remedy managers to discuss the importance of not only supporting work performance but also the overall quality of life of their direct reports.
Wednesday: Healthy Body
Wednesday focused on a strong body with a roundup of workout apps that Remediers could do at their own pace. To finish the day feeling zen and balanced, an after-work virtual meditation and yoga session was available.
Thursday: Nature
Thursday’s communications promoted taking walks and outdoor activities, along with sharing the importance of stretching and suggestions for 15-minute stretching breaks.
Friday: Healthy Soul
To end the week on a high note, we shared recipes for comfort food in preparation for the upcoming holiday season, and all Sunshine Notes were distributed.
Employees were welcome to share their mental health week experience (how they prioritized self-care and, importantly, how they chose to fill their snack box!) on social media. We were thrilled to see team members across the country get involved. At Digital Remedy, we believe that our employees are our greatest asset. Supporting the mental and physical wellness of our Remediers while fostering a healthy workplace and work-life balance is—and always will be—a top priority.

As invalid traffic (IVT) and ad fraud increases in scope and sophistication, it has become increasingly difficult for advertisers and agencies to ensure that their ad dollars are being spent on their desired audiences—i.e. real people in search of products or services. According to recent studies, about $42b in revenue opportunities is lost each year due to bots and fake users. To provide the highest possible level of campaign security across media channels for our clients and help ensure every ad impression we serve is validated and delivered on high-quality, fraud-free inventory sources, Digital Remedy collaborates with Oracle Moat.
By integrating Oracle Moat’s brand safety and verification technology, Digital Remedy has successfully driven down IVT rates and increased viewability rates, consistently outperforming industry benchmarks quarter-over-quarter. With low fraud rates, Digital Remedy continues to hit client KPIs, especially on conversion-based campaigns, which has led to an overall increase in renewal rates among clients. Additionally, our team is able to access historical campaign performance to inform (and improve) current and future media strategies.
“With Oracle Moat, Digital Remedy is able to provide an unmatched level of confidence and trust by helping to ensure ads are served by real publishers, shown to real audiences, and clients are only paying for real conversions—effectively driving desired results among target consumers, whether it be an increase in site traffic or sales.” -Kevin Jones, VP of Media Buying
Recent shifts towards OTT/CTV have resulted in an increased demand for (and investment in) these media channels. As many advertisers are setting viewability as a primary/secondary KPI, all are hyper-focused on the importance of delivering campaigns on fraud-free, IVT-free inventory. In early 2020, we expanded our work with Oracle Moat to include OTT/CTV environments, which allows us to proactively identify IVT in these environments, which had previously been difficult—if not impossible—to do. With Oracle Moat as a brand safety partner, we are able to mitigate the risk of fraudulent activity—identifying and rooting out new methods of IVT to stop ad fraud at the source—and ensure client ad spend is not wasted on fake users.
In today’s increasingly complex and fragmented ad space, it is critical for marketers to work with a trusted partner that has the experience, knowledge, scale, and ability to identify and block new threats as they emerge. Our work with Oracle Moat allows us to remain a leading media partner in the ad tech space thanks to our innovative ad solutions for verification, attention, and brand safety. We are excited to expand our collaboration further and strengthen our offering to continue to protect our clients across even more media types. To learn more, speak to a member of our team.
In today’s fragmented media landscape, attribution is an increasingly valuable tool for advertisers. Recent growth in both consumption and investment in streaming video has prompted digital advertisers to focus on optimizing advertising efforts. Digital Remedy has partnered with leading geospatial and mobility intelligence company Cuebiq, to unlock real-time insights and measure the true impact of client campaigns, specifically on CTV/OTT channels.
Through this strategic partnership, Digital Remedy provides clients with a full understanding of the consumer journey—from first touch to store visit—and allows them to activate against learnings from this journey to maximize their return on ad spend. Using mobile location data from Cuebiq, Digital Remedy’s proprietary performance CTV platform, Flip, directly connects CTV ad impressions to lift in foot traffic to physical store locations—tracking full-funnel KPIs, including brand, visit, and revenue lift, and displaying real-time campaign insights within an easy-to-read dashboard.
“TV has always been thought of as purely an upper-funnel, branding play. With Flip, we’re able to challenge that notion, and with our Cuebiq partnership, we’re able to connect real-world store traffic to those large format impressions. We’re able to let retailers know, definitively, that someone was exposed to their CTV ad and then visited their location. We’ve set our sights on treating CTV like performance media—driving real-world results, not just views.”
– Ben Brenner, VP, Business Development and Strategy at Digital Remedy
Flip, our Award-winning proprietary performance CTV platform, connects the dots between CTV ad views and real-world results—providing a full picture of the consumer journey and ensuring marketers get the most impact out of their budget.
