Programmatic Transparency

The ANA is committed to helping marketers take greater control of their programmatic media spend. From addressing the challenges posed by Made for Advertising (MFA) websites, to helping marketers streamline transactions costs within their supply chain, we are focused on empowering marketers to maximize the allocation of working dollars directly affecting the end consumer.

Ongoing ANA Programmatic Transparency Benchmark

Launched in early 2024 in partnership with global cross-industry initiative TAG TrustNet, the ongoing ANA Programmatic Transparency Benchmark helps ANA members collect, reconcile, and analyze proprietary log-level data to establish supply chain metrics against which they can regularly assess their own programmatic campaigns. The aggregated data is released publicly on a quarterly basis, and is already showing significant progress.
