Once again, the IPA Digital Media Owner Survey includes the JICSWEBS Digital Trading Standards Group Status of each supplier. Of the 19 listed suppliers, 18 are DTSG Brand Safety Signatories, this means that they have signed up to JICWEBS to be independently verified; in addition, 17 of these are also DTSG Certified, meaning the business has had their brand safety policies and processes independently verified, and have received a seal of approval.

Says Nigel Gwilliam, Director of Media Affairs, IPA: "Agencies need to know which media owners are committed to improving the quality of their services and ensuring better brand safety standards, which is why this survey is so important. Congratulations to TI Media for their continued excellence in this survey."

The IPA Digital Media Owner Survey is released twice a year, in Spring and Autumn. For each survey a panel of planners, strategists, buyers and digital specialists rate only those media owners they have a working relationship with against a set of attributes on a seven-point scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
