Overview

Beeswax has an integration with Integral Ad Science ("IAS") for pre-bid targeting across exchanges. Pre-bid targeting is done through special segments that may be targeted for viewability, suspicious activity, brand safety, anti-fraud and content categories. Pre-bid segments are based on individual page URLs or app bundles that IAS has determined fit certain criteria.

Segments can be found under the ‘Integral Ad Science’ category in line item segment targeting. The price for usage exists in the Beeswax UI. Below are the details of different segment type offerings:

Custom ContextualCustom segments that allow advertisers to block or target specific content based on contextual-based keywords. Context Control Targeting is used to include web pages that are suitable for a brand's standards, and Context Control Avoidance can be used to exclude or avoid web pages that may not be suitable from a brand safety perspective. Advertisers should work directly with IAS to create custom contextual segments.Avoid serving on web pages that are not suitable from a brand safety perspective, such as adult content or other sensitive topics. Desktop/mobile web display, videoInclude or Exclude


Pre-bid Segment Logic

Most IAS pre-bid segments will be targeted with the statement ‘required’. This is selected by default in the UI, and will require that any impressions served will be in that segment, instead of the “Include” logic where all segments are combined with OR logic. If more than one segment within a category is being targeted (i.e. 2 segments from the brand safety category), then the cost of only one segment's CPM is charged. If more than one segment is targeted in different categories (i.e. a segment in viewability and a segment in brand safety), then the cost will be sum of the CPMs of each type. Additionally, there is a segment for sites that have not yet been reviewed by IAS, ‘data not available or updated’ that can be targeted using ‘exclude’.
