IAS’s TMQ for Kwai empowers advertisers to:

• • Place Ads Next to Higher-Quality Media: Powered by IAS’s Multimedia Technology, IAS Brand Safety and Suitability Measurement for Kwai utilizes responsible AI for frame-by-frame analysis, combining image, audio, and text signals to accurately classify content at scale, including misinformation, aligned to industry standards.

“Third-party measurement is critical to Kwai, and demonstrates our commitment to building a safe environment and providing advertisers with the right tools they need to grow with Kwai,” said Vitor Yu, General Manager at Kwai for Business LATAM. “Our partnership with IAS equips our clients with the precise insights to understand where their ads are appearing and how they’re performing on Kwai so they can continue to meet their campaign goals on our platform.”
