About Ad-ID:

Ad-ID is a data and technology company founded by the American Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A’s) whose aim is to make advertising better and transform the industry by providing standardized identity management for ads. The significant rise of streaming via connected TV and the fragmentation of consumer media attention has created an urgency to solve industry-wide challenges that threaten the consumer experience – and with it the value of advertising for consumers, marketers, publishers and every company across the ad ecosystem. These challenges include excessive ad frequency, cross platform measurement, optimized ad delivery, and transparency.

Ad-ID is a simple and inexpensive solution to tackling these critical advertising challenges. As part of our business, Ad-ID provides a registered, 12-character code that uniquely identifies an advertising asset – in any format, across any platform – to enable tracking, placement, optimization, and measurement at a creative level. In addition, Ad-ID provides critical asset information, or metadata, about each ad to enable companies in the advertising industry to transact more efficiently. We also provide technology and data solutions that connect the ad ecosystem and companies across the value chain.

Ad-ID is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to a work environment that supports, inspires, and respects all individuals and in which personnel policies are applied without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, age, disability, national or ethnic origin, military service status, citizenship, or other protected characteristic.
