LoopMe, a leading technology company that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve brand advertising performance, today announced that it has joined the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), the leading self-regulatory association comprised exclusively of third-party digital advertising companies. LoopMe’s NAI membership certifies that the entirety of LoopMe’s data protection and privacy practices and processes are in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations that protect the collection, storage, and use of consumer data.
“We are delighted to join the NAI with its hugely respected independent seal of approval that companies increasingly look for when selecting advertising business partners,” said Paolo Cerroni, VP of Legal, LoopMe. “This latest validation is a strong signal to the industry and demonstrates LoopMe’s commitment to brand integrity, consumer trust, data protection, and compliance with applicable legislation and industry standards.”
To be accepted as a member, LoopMe completed the NAI’s thorough application form, which sought to understand the entirety of LoopMe’s data protection and privacy practices and processes globally, but with a focus on the U.S. LoopMe also reviewed the NAI’s member requirements to ensure compliance with each obligation and the latest updates to U.S. legislation and regulation. This included reviewing and updating LoopMe’s Privacy Policy to ensure that users are fully and clearly informed as to how their data will be collected, processed and stored, and how they can exercise their rights, such as opting out.
“AI is impacting all aspects of digital communications, and it’s great to see industry leaders like LoopMe committing to be champions for privacy protections through membership in the NAI,” said Leigh Freund, President and CEO of the NAI. “We’re looking forward to working with LoopMe to explore how AI matching supply with demand in digital advertising can evolve in ways that inspire consumer trust and effective ads.”
While widely applicable, the NAI membership is an external certification confirming that LoopMe’s practices and processes satisfy the needs of clients with the strictest data protection standards, such as pharmaceutical companies and media buyers at agencies and brands.
The NAI membership adds a US-focused data privacy certification alongside LoopMe’s other global external certifications and validations. These include the EDAA Trust Deal awarded by the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance Membership (EDAA) and the E-Privacy certification, both following a similarly in-depth external audit of the entirety of LoopMe’s data protection and privacy practices.

Today, Go Addressable, an industry initiative to advance addressable advertising, and Advertiser Perceptions released new findings that capture the latest growth, adoption, usage and trajectory for this medium.
One noteworthy finding from this latest round of research was the marked growth in the industry’s adoption and usage of this medium. Presently, 73% (or nearly three in four marketers) are using addressable TV, compared to 63% (or nearly two in three marketers) when the study was fielded this same time last year. This is a 16% increase.
“The big story behind these findings is growth,” said Dan Rosenfeld, SVP, Data Analytics & Insights, DIRECTV Advertising. “Two years into Go Addressable’s launch, we are excited to see that the needle behind adoption, usage and awareness of this medium has continued to move consistently. We take these findings to heart and remain committed to finding ways to further enhance, innovate and pioneer addressable advertising’s future.”
The study revealed positive momentum in other key areas:
Among those polled, nearly half (49%) had a combined linear and digital team planning addressable TV strategies for marketers.
The percentage of respondents citing “better measurement/proof of ROI” as a factor to consider when increasing or initiating addressable TV investments dropped from 50% to 43% in this latest study, suggesting that there has been more industry-wide education and awareness of how the medium works and its benefits over the past year.
The findings also yielded important insights when it comes to areas that need more improvement or focus. One example is the industry’s perception versus what is currently being done around attribution. Respondents, in particular, noted that they felt there is currently “inadequate attribution to prove the ROI of addressable TV advertising.” (Contrast that with the fact that Go Addressable currently works with the top 20 attribution vendors in market.)
“Addressable advertising has evolved tremendously in recent years, and clients find that using this method adds immediate value to their media plans,” said Jen Soch, Executive Director, Channel Solutions, GroupM. “Our clients need to know they can reach and engage with consumers in a targeted and personalized way while in a premium advertising environment, and addressable advertising delivers in a way that not only reaches audiences, but resonates with them.”
The study is part of an ongoing research initiative between both parties. To view the full report, as well as past studies, click here.
