Integral Ad Science, a leading global media measurement and optimization platform, announced the expansion of its industry-leading Brand Safety and Suitability Measurement product for YouTube to include reporting for Performance Max and Demand Gen campaigns on Google Ads.
“IAS is committed to providing advertisers valuable third-party assurance that their campaigns are running adjacent to brand safe and suitable content, and we’re excited to provide further safeguards for their campaigns across YouTube,” said Lisa Utzschneider, CEO of IAS. “Our best-in-class measurement solutions coupled with Performance Max and Demand Gen will provide the actionable data needed to drive efficiency, scale, and safety.”
Performance Max is Google’s latest campaign type, enabling advertisers to access all Google Ads inventory through a single, unified campaign. Advertisers who adopt Performance Max see an average increase of 27% more conversions or value at a similar CPA/ROAS, even when they’re already using broad match and Smart Bidding in their Search campaigns.

This innovative campaign type simplifies the advertising process by eliminating the need to manage multiple campaigns, allowing advertisers to reach their goals more efficiently across the entire Google Network.
