The Value of a Brand Safety Officer

This event is over.

The Brand Safety Institute (BSI) is a nonprofit advertising industry initiative working to strengthen the brand safety profession. Like the ANA, BSI works to ensure trust and transparency in the digital advertising industry. By helping leaders set the highest standards, learn new and emerging best practices, and build an industry-wide community of brand safety peers, BSI makes sure that the digital advertising industry is beneficial for brands and consumers alike.

Christine Desrosiers, Brand Safety Officer in Residence and Neal Thurman, Co-founder, will discuss the origins of BSI and how it benefits the digital advertising ecosystem. They will also introduce BSI's Brand Safety Officer (BSO) certification program, and Christine will discuss how she intends to use the platform to advance broad-based efforts to protect marketers as the first BSO-in-Residence.

When the BSO certification first launched in late 2019, BSI and the ANA partnered to offer ANA members complimentary access to the Brand Safety Officer certification. To date, more than 50 people from leading global brands have joined the program. We are excited to extend this exclusive offer. Webinar participants can use the discount code "ANAMember".
