The U.S. presidential election year is well underway, with media coverage ramping up across the country. One top-of-mind concern for advertisers during this politically-salient time is misinformation \u2014 in fact, marketers cite ads delivering alongside risky content like misinformation as their <\/span>top media challenge<\/span><\/a><\/span> in 2024.<\/span><\/p>

In the heated environment of election season, the proliferation of <\/span>misinformation<\/span><\/a><\/span> can pose significant challenges for brands. Ads placed next to misleading or false information not only risk damaging a brand’s reputation, but can also erode consumer trust. As the media landscape becomes increasingly polarized and the spread of misinformation accelerates,<\/span> brands must navigate this terrain with caution.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

The IAS Election Lab analyzed the rise in political content and misinformation, exploring how IAS <\/span>Context Control Avoidance<\/span><\/span><\/a> segments can be tailored to different brand needs as potentially risky content saturates the media. Plus, we tested the scalability of Context Control Avoidance segments for protecting brands from risky content without overblocking or blocking <\/span>responsible media<\/span><\/a><\/span>, which refers to content that is trustworthy, accurate, and prioritizes diverse and inclusive reporting.<\/span><\/p>

Here\u2019s what we found.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Risky political content and misinformation rose in Q1 2024\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The rates of risky political content and misinformation in the U.S. increased in the first quarter of 2024, highlighting potential threats to brand equity for unprotected campaigns. Plus, The Election Lab <\/span>recently found<\/span><\/span><\/a> that <\/span>risky political content increased during major political events<\/b> in Q1 2024, including Super Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>

Compared to Q4 2023, risky political content rose 29% to reach 1.03% of all impressions measured in the U.S. in Q1 2024. And there\u2019s a hefty reason why advertisers should steer clear of risky content: more than <\/span>seven-in-10<\/span><\/a><\/span> U.S. consumers think that the content surrounding a brand\u2019s ads is a reflection of their values.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Misinformation is also surging. Compared to Q4 of last year, Q1 2024 saw a 25% higher rate of misinformation content in the U.S. Consumers have become increasingly sensitive to ad adjacency to misinformation, with 75% reporting that they\u2019d feel <\/span>less favorable<\/span><\/a><\/span> toward brands that advertise on sites that spread misinformation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As the data proves, risky political content and misinformation are both on the rise. So what can advertisers do to scale despite this risky and misleading content?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

All IAS <\/span>Context Control Avoidance<\/span><\/a><\/span> segments use natural language processing to precisely comprehend context, sentiment, and emotion to protect brands at scale. But Context Control Avoidance segments allow advertisers to further <\/span>tailor their campaigns to granular levels<\/b> that make the most sense for them. For example, while some brands may prefer to avoid advertising near <\/span>any<\/span><\/i> political content, others may choose to avoid only a subset of content, like negative political content or negative content directed toward political parties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

So why would an advertiser choose a less strict threshold? It\u2019s all about scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Avoiding only negative political content resulted in a 28% decrease in blocked impressions compared to avoiding all political content, unlocking an estimated 169 billion impressions per year, as estimated by Xandr DSP inventory projections. Advertisers could also choose to avoid only negative sentiments towards political parties, resulting in a 62% decrease in blocked impressions compared to avoiding all political segments, opening up an estimated 374 billion impressions annually. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Similarly, advertisers may have different needs for thresholds surrounding misinformation risk. Avoiding medium risk misinformation reflects a relatively conservative threshold, but advertisers can also opt to avoid only misinformation surrounding politics or high-risk misinformation. Per Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) definitions,<\/span> medium risk misinformation<\/b> is a broader category that includes content about misinformation, whereas <\/span>high risk misinformation<\/b> only includes content that presents a false narrative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Simply activating IAS\u2019s high risk misinformation avoidance segment instead of medium risk yielded a 98% decrease in blocked impressions compared to the medium risk misinformation segment, unlocking an additional 492 billion impressions annually, according to Xandr DSP inventory projections. IAS\u2019s Context Control Avoidance segment specific to political misinformation had a 97% decrease in blocked impressions compared to medium risk misinformation, leading to an additional 487 billion impressions annually.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Just as media experts and consumers alike denounce misinformation, they also <\/span>recognize<\/span><\/span><\/a> the importance of supporting responsible and trustworthy journalism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To ensure that IAS Context Control Avoidance misinformation segments aren\u2019t blocking trusted journalism, The Election Lab looked at how these segments performed for a sample of high impression volume publishers throughout Q1 2024. The IAS Context Control Avoidance medium-risk misinformation segments block exceptionally small rates of impressions on these sites. In the context of news-related misinformation, <\/span>no impressions were blocked on these trustworthy publishers<\/b> for the duration of Q1 2024. Both medium risk misinformation and politics-related misinformation saw a few blocked impressions, but these represented less than 0.01% of all impressions served to these publishers in Q1.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The result? Context Control Avoidance segments protected campaigns at scale without blocking <\/span>responsible media<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How did politically risky content impact business results across Q1 2024? We examined IAS data enriched with performance and cost metrics to determine the impact of politically risky content and misinformation on success rate (defined as conversions or clicks) and cost per conversion (CPCV) during Q1 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Politics had the biggest impact on the bottom line. Ads avoiding political content had a 32% lower CPCV than ads adjacent to politically risky content, representing $1.04 lower cost per conversion. Ads avoiding political content also had a 179% higher success rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Ads avoiding misinformation, on the other hand, had a 29% lower cost per conversion than ads adjacent to misinformation, representing $1.21 less per conversion. This lower CPCV is in part due to the 46% lower success rate for ads adjacent to misinformation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
