Brand safety refers to the measures taken to protect a brand from universal threats to its image, reputation, and return on investment. Brand suitability refers to protection against specific threats to a brand based on its identity, parameters, and values. Brand suitability goes far beyond adjacency to include what conversations your brand deems suitable and safe to run on your assets.

It’s crucial that your brand monitors conversations in its social media landscape. However, 24/7 social media management is nearly impossible to do manually at scale across ads and organic.

02 | THE CHALLENGE

Keeping brands safe on social at scale

Finding a trusted partner to help manage comments at scale and around the clock.
Maintaining the same quality and performance standards across ads. It is especially difficult for brands to measure sentiment or know whether or not content is resonating.
Moderating harmful comments to keep brands safe from spam, scams and hate speech.
Taking action on urgent issues that can damage a brand’s image, reputation, and return on investment, such as broken links or spikes in negative sentiment.

BrandBastion moderates universally harmful content such as spam, but we also go the extra mile to monitor content that is particularly sensitive to your brand such as competitor mentions, or brand attacks. We take action based on specific brand's needs and parameters.

Inappropriate or high-risk content is highly dependent on your brand’s identity, which is why we customize your moderation guidelines according to your brand’s brand safety and brand suitability concerns. You decide what you want hidden (e.g., brand critiques, competitor mentions, among other categories).

Our solutions use Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to prioritize and classify comments in need of moderation or response at lightning speed. Working alongside the tech is a team of highly trained human analysts to ensure 24/7 accuracy.

"BrandBastion helps us manage our paid media at scale, ensures brand safety, and keeps us more plugged into the conversation about our brand."
