Digital ad verification firm Integral Ad Science (IAS) has acquired Amino Payments, a provider of programmatic advertising transparency.
This acquisition furthers IAS’s commitment to delivering the most comprehensive set of programmatic transparency solutions for marketers.
“Programmatic advertising continues to grow at a tremendous pace, and with this acquisition, we’re bringing comprehensive transparency to the entire industry,” IAS CEO Lisa Utzschneider says.
"By welcoming Amino Payments to IAS, we will unleash the full potential of programmatic advertising for marketers who need their campaigns to be highly effective and cost-efficient.”
In April 2020, IAS and Amino Payments partnered to launch Total Visibility, which offers advertisers impression-level financial insights and media quality verification to optimize campaigns in real-time.
The acquisition will allow IAS to accelerate its investments into programmatic transparency solutions.
Available globally, Total Visibility helps advertisers determine media quality including viewability, fraud, and brand safety, by offering critical insights and control to optimize campaigns toward supply paths that deliver cost-efficient and high-quality media.
Total Visibility is now an IAS brand, while the Amino Payments brand will be retired.
“As even more digital media is transacted programmatically, the need for transparency will continue to be critical for advertisers,” Amino Payments CEO Will Luttrell says.
“The Amino Payments team is thrilled to join IAS, the market leader in verification, to pursue a joint vision to bring unprecedented transparency into programmatic advertising.”
