Integral Ad Science is testing a new solution to help brand advertisers measure and optimize their digital display campaigns. The solution aims to move buying beyond basic viewability to a process that accounts for how exposure to ad messaging across properties impacts a campaign’s influence on consumers.

Advertisers can then adjust their buys to focus on the underexposed.”
