RTB House is a leading provider of technology powered by natural language processing that addresses the brand safety dilemma

RTB House – a global company that provides state-of-the-art retargeting built on deep learning for top brands worldwide – announced new capabilities to solve digital advertiser’s brand safety challenges powered by advanced natural language processing.

Brand safety is a critical concern for the digital advertising industry. In order to avoid consumer backlash and lost revenue brands and publishers must ensure that ads don’t appear next to inappropriate content or within an unsafe environment. The problem is exacerbated as the number of web pages that contain fake news, violence, catastrophe, or explicit content continues to rise. Furthermore, those producing the content continually develop new ways to disguise the content to monetize their business through online advertising.

The technology, known as the Brand Profile layer, prevents ads from being served on websites or next to content that is not offensive in general but may have negative connotations for some brands. The Brand Profile layer works in three ways:

News filters that automatically block news containing specific non-brand-safe keywords (both in URL addresses, in the content, or even in the meta page descriptions). This enables brands to exclude specific content that is inappropriate e.g. automotive brands want to avoid ad placement alongside articles about alcohol but not necessarily alongside articles about Windshield washer fluid mentioning this contains alcohol. The natural language processing algorithm developed by RTB House has already cataloged more than one million articles and is constantly auditing thousands of new articles every day.

Website category filters help brands to avoid website categories, which may be sensitive from the perspective of different brands, for example, user-generated content, file sharing, g*******, video stream, gaming, manga, and social services.

The Blacklist allows brands to prevent ads being displayed on specific, chosen URLs.

RTB House clients use the company’s solution to deliver ultra-personalized ads based on behavior tied to users search tactics, browsing history, and basket behavior. These observations and more are collected in real-time across all devices and have been proven to improve conversions and boost revenue.
