In 2017, when we launched our first BrandRx study of the media and marketing industry's brand safety problem, the landscape looked very different. Rogue CEOs, hapless social media stars and divisive political news had marketers on their guard. That year, 75 percent of marketers said they were exposed to unsafe content. By 2018, conditions had improved. An update showed that code-red level concern among marketers dropped from 90 percent to 60 percent. But there is only so much you can learn in the lab.
This spring, GumGum embarked on a cross-country journey to see how marketers are navigating the brand safety challenge now. We spoke with brand and advertising agency executives in Dallas, Chicago and Atlanta. Download the guide for a journalistic view of our travels.
