Multi-ad upload
Instantly analyse multiple ads through our bulk upload feature (supports multiple Excel sheets, VAST tags, images, video and ZIP files): no more copy-and-pasting of individual tags. Bonus: Send files for QC by simply emailing them to Ad Validation and we’ll sort the rest.
Pick your cookies
Rather than approving the same vendors over and over again, create a list of accepted ones who meet your requirements.
Monitor live campaigns
Get proactive and monitor in-flight campaigns. Receive alerts for creative swaps, added tracking pixels, load time changes and other issues. Track the timeline of creative changes and get notifications to remind you of issues until they are fixed or approved.
Avoid data leaks
Safeguard assets against reputational risk: ensure privacy and compliance for digital ads. We alert you to any potential sources of data-leakage or privacy violations and surface third party vendors, unapproved pixels and trackers.
20+ tests for video
Complete video ad-quality control: With 20+ video tests, instantly see audio volume, bitrates, resolution, privacy issues and more. Eliminate delays, lost revenue, and “make good” campaigns while providing an optimal user experience.
Third party file-size
During testing, Ad Validation simulates a slow page load to determine if tags are reducing the upload speed of large assets until the page and its content have finished loading.
Ensure performant ads
Ad Validation analyses load times, the number of file requests, initial load, sub load, and much more to make sure that ads don't slow pages down, use excessive bandwidth, or cause other issues on your web site or app.
Privacy compliant
Ad Validation highlights cookies and pixels fired by third-parties, exposing potential sources of data-leakage and privacy violations. Overlay your own list of trusted vendors (or use ours), to stop anyone from accessing your data.
Test loading time
Load times impact viewability. Let Ad Validation identify ads that risk poor viewability before campaign launch so they can be improved and expectations managed.

Agentic AI vs AI wrappers vs custom AI: How to choose your path
You're about to spend $500K on an AI initiative. You've got 3 options on the table, and they'll lead you to wildly different places. Pick wrong, and you're rebuilding in 18 months. Pick right, and you'll have a system that scales, costs less to maintain, and actually does what executives promised. The choice is between wrapping existing AI models, building custom AI solutions from scratch, or going agentic. Most teams don't understand the real trade-offs until they're locked into the wrong one.
