Adidas Leveraged Zefr Measurement

To Verify Brand Safety and Brand Suitability of TikTok Campaign

The Objective

In 2022, global fashion retailer Adidas partnered with Zefr and TikTok for their campaign featuring WNBA basketball player Candace Parker, with creative messaging about overcoming the ​‘Impossible.’ Adidas ran a brand auction campaign focusing on In-Feed ads with a core objective for Video Views, and the campaign was targeted to 18 – 34 millennial sports-interested users of the platform.

The Solution

In order to drive impact with the right audiences, it was important to Adidas to ensure their ads ran against brand safe and brand suitable content. To achieve this goal, Adidas tapped into Zefr’s partnership with TikTok to utilize Zefr’s post-bid measurement tool that verifies content adjacencies on the platform, along with TikTok’s Inventory Filter for pre-bid targeting set-up. Both solutions are mapped to the industry standard Brand Safety and Suitability Framework and provide accurate and transparent campaign insights.
