Panelists from Unilever, Kimberly-Clark, Mediaocean, and IBM discuss how blockchain technology will bring transparency and accountability to the advertising ecosystem.

By 2025, ad fraud is predicted to cost advertisers and their industry partners more than $50 billion unless a dramatic change takes place. Mediaocean, as well as other companies, are looking to make those changes using blockchain technology.
