A quick primer: What is AU?

AU is Adelaide’s 0–100 media quality rating that predicts a placement’s ability to capture attention and drive business outcomes.

Built on placement-level exposure signals, eye-tracking data, and real campaign outcome data across billions of impressions, AU gives advertisers a simple, scalable way to evaluate media quality and invest in placements that perform.

AU is trusted by leading brands and agencies to measure, optimize, and activate media quality across channels.

Why your media plan needs a quality check

Low-quality inventory can look efficient on paper, but cheap CPMs and high viewability rates don’t mean it’s worth buying.

Across campaigns, high-AU media consistently delivers stronger outcomes:
Tech
3x
more conversions on high-AU placements
Apparel
60%
higher conversion rate and 28% lower cost per conversion
CPG
108%
lift in ad recall for placements above the AU quality floor
Automotive
61%
lift in awareness using AU-optimized media

The difference isn’t luck. It’s media quality.
