Ad Creative Validation

Guarantee network compliance by automatically validating millions of ad creatives for restricted content, unauthorized claims, and brand safety.

The Challenge

Scaling safety in advertising agencies

Maintaining positive community experiences is difficult when dealing with massive volumes of user-generated content. Without proper moderation, platforms face serious risks:

  • Costly ad-network rejections due to creatives containing prohibited imagery, excessive text-to-image ratios, or banned keywords.
  • The impossibility of manually reviewing thousands of dynamically generated programmatic ad variations.
  • Malicious actors attempting to slip cryptocurrency scams, adult content, or malware links through your ad exchanges.
  • Ensuring specific regional compliance for highly regulated industries like alcohol, pharmaceuticals, and politics.

How ContentShield Helps

Pre-Flight Validation

Automatically scan ad images and videos milliseconds before they are submitted to ad exchanges to guarantee acceptance.

Text & Claim Analysis

OCR extracts text from banners to verify it does not contain prohibited health claims or banned financial promises.

Malware Link Detection

Deeply inspect the destination URLs of every ad creative to ensure they do not redirect to known phishing or malware sites.

Brand Safety Auditing

Ensure the surrounding context where the ad is placed does not conflict with the advertiser's core brand values.
