Overview

Brand Standards provide:
  • AI-powered content filtering based on your brand safety requirements
  • Automatic application to all campaigns within a brand agent
  • Multi-market targeting with country, channel, and language specificity
  • Natural language configuration through conversational prompts

Premium Brand Safety

"Maintain premium brand positioning by only accepting high-quality, professionally produced content. Avoid user-generated content, controversial topics, or anything that could diminish brand prestige. Focus on luxury, quality, and exclusivity messaging."

Regional Compliance

Best Practices

Writing Effective Prompts

  • Be specific: Clear, detailed safety requirements work better than vague guidelines
  • Use examples: Include specific scenarios to guide AI decision-making
  • Consider edge cases: Address boundary situations in your prompts
  • Test and refine: Create, test, and adjust prompts based on results

Targeting Strategy

  • Start broad: Begin with general standards, then add market-specific ones
  • Layer specificity: Use multiple standards for different requirements (e.g., family safety, compliance)
  • Monitor performance: Review classification accuracy and adjust prompts as needed

Management

  • Meaningful names: Use descriptive names that indicate the purpose
  • Regular updates: Keep standards current with changing brand requirements
  • Market relevance: Ensure standards are appropriate for targeted regions
