Oracle Moat, part of Oracle Advertising, is a measurement and marketing analytics suite designed to help advertisers, publishers, and platforms measure media performance across the breadth of their digital and TV advertising campaigns. Oracle Moat delivers solutions that assist in measuring advertising effectiveness, including verification and attention, as well as reach and frequency.

Irina Dzyubinsky, head of product for Oracle Moat said: “To maximize value, advertisers are increasingly demanding in-depth measurement tools and guardrails that extend into user-generated content, to deliver effective and trusted campaigns. Nextdoor connects brands with a uniquely engaged, local audience. By working together, we’re able to give advertisers greater control over where, and around what content, their campaigns run, and to help drive even more successful campaigns.”

In addition to using Oracle Moat, Nextdoor strives to provide a trusted environment for all marketers and users on the platform. In February of 2022, the company released Nextdoor’s annual Transparency Report, which highlighted the company’s investment in neighborhood vitality, its community-oriented approach to moderation, and provided transparency around Nextdoor’s user-first approach to engaging with government requests for user information and moderation.
