Best Practices for VAST 2.0
The IAB Tech Lab released VAST 4.2 in June 2019, however, adoption of the newest version of VAST has been limited. For this reason, Ad-ID, in partnership with A+E, Hulu, and NBCUniversal, developed a stop gap solution to use the UniversalAdId in VAST 2.0.
Identification: It's as Easy as ABC

3C's of Addressable TV
Tom Morgan, Principal of Media D.tv released this white paper to highlight how the industry can deliver universal TV addressability which would allow any household watching a live broadcast, on any TV platform, to see household targeted ads. Addressable advertising is important as it allows advertisers to pick the audience and deliver ads specifically tailored to that audience.

VAST Use Cases
We collaborated with the IAB Tech Lab to put together different use cases that demonstrate the importance of including Ad-ID as a registry value inside the UniversalAdId element in VAST 4.0. The use cases also show how Ad-ID serves that role in the U.S. market.
