AD-ID is owned by two non-profits organizations and provides a universal identifier for advertising creatives, akin to a UPC code for ads, enabling standardized tracking and management throughout the advertising ecosystem. Used by over 80% of Fortune 500 companies, AD-ID's system supports transparency, accountability, and cross-platform measurement by encoding essential metadata like brand, product, and format. The platform offers flexible creation methods, including APIs and spreadsheets, and charges based on usage volume to encourage widespread adoption. Despite its utility, challenges remain in achieving full ecosystem compliance, especially with large platforms and ensuring integration into legacy systems. AD-ID also plays a critical role in talent payment tracking through agreements with organizations like SAG-AFTRA, emphasizing its significance in both operational and creative aspects of the advertising industry.
