While this allows for focused best-in-class platforms, connectivity between stakeholders has not been a priority. The AD Consortium provides a way for marketers and agencies to utilize premier solutions for tracking assets and managing what is reported and paid by:
- Identifying and evaluating the best existing protocols at each step in the process
- Establishing common nomenclature and file transfer processes to improve accuracy and eliminate operational redundancies
- Committing, as a collective, to the implementation of these universal best practices and making them open to the industry
- Using Ad-ID as the common identifier and metadata source for ad distribution, traffic, talent payments and rights and asset management across all platforms
