Bauer Media working with Ad Validation
Making sure all ads are 100% quality controlled and protected from campaign issues.
This was originally posted on the Peach website. Find out more about the rebrand from Peach to Cape.io.
Ad Validation works to elevate digital Ad quality, is delighted to announce its collaboration with Bauer Media, one of the world’s most successful media companies, as the comprehensive quality control solution for all Bauer Media digital creative assets.
Ad quality has risen in importance as consumers expect the best possible experience and advertisers want to make sure their Ads are the highest quality in order to drive performance. Publishers rely on Ad Validation as the foundation for their quality control and as a safety net protecting them from campaign issues, delays and, most importantly, revenue loss.
Using Ad Validation, Bauer Media will automate all QC processes allowing their activation teams to accurately know that all of their ads are 100% compliant (e.g. quality, size, volumes, vendors, blocking) and deliver a high-quality experience.
“Ad Validation is becoming widely embraced across the publisher ecosystem", said Christian Jones, Head of International Sales at Ad Validation. “Built by Ad Ops, for Ad Ops, our aim is to streamline further and automate the QC delivery processes - by leveraging our capabilities, Bauer Media is furthering this vision and making the industry work better for everyone.”
"This collaboration cements Bauer Media's commitment to a universal QC process", said Lauren Howe, Head of Digital Operations, Bauer Media. "We look forward to working with Ad Validation to ensure Ad campaigns deliver on time, against their KPIs, whilst providing the team with a more automated and efficient process.
This collaboration marks a significant development in Ad Operations, and we eagerly await the transformation that Ad Validation will bring to Bauer Media’s digital workflows.

Navigating Channel 4’s 2026 closed caption mandate
As ad compliance requirements tighten across the UK and Europe, closed captioning has evolved from an accessibility checkbox to a strategic necessity. Whether you're managing CTV campaigns or social media creative, automated ad testing for caption quality is no longer optional - it's fundamental to reaching today's fragmented, multi-screen audiences.
The advertising landscape is facing a seismic shift. By March 1, Channel 4 will become the first UK broadcaster to mandate closed captions across all advertising - including linear TV, streaming, and sponsorships.
The mandate is a redefined standard for global inclusivity. Here is everything you need to know about the new mandate and how to stay ahead of the curve.

One platform, many realities: How creative automation platforms resolve the global vs. local tension
Scaling global marketing without losing local relevance requires more than brand guidelines and templates - it requires a creative automation platform designed for both global control and local flexibility. Most systems optimize for standardization, but scaling ad creative production across markets demands architecture that enables creative variation and adaptation by local experts without fragmenting brand governance.
Many global advertisers are chasing the same ideal: scale without losing relevance.
Consistency without uniformity.
Efficiency without bureaucracy.
It sounds simple. In practice, it’s one of the hardest tensions to resolve in modern marketing.
The global vs. local challenge isn’t new, but it’s becoming more urgent. As brands expand across markets, channels, and cultures, the question is no longer whether you should scale globally, but how you do so without erasing the nuance that makes marketing effective in the first place.
Everyone is looking for this balance. Very few get it right.

The guardrails of growth: Why creative intelligence demands compliance
Generative AI can produce thousands of creative variants, but most compliance systems are still manual, fragmented, and reactive, unable to keep pace with today’s velocity. To move fast without breaking things, the industry needs a new approach: real-time verification, programmatic enforcement, and end-to-end visibility. Embedded inside the stack, not bolted on at the end.
