Premium media helps traders build consumer trust and long-term loyalty by going beyond impression delivery to strengthen how audiences perceive their brands. 

In this Trader Tips episode, Rima Abbott of UM Worldwide in Melbourne, Australia, shares how traders can use The Trade Desk platform to access premium media inventory and environments that can deliver three core outcomes: 

  • Improved cost-efficiency 

  • Stronger brand foundations 

  • Higher-quality impressions 

For example, consistently running in trusted, premium environments helps brands build credibility and strengthen consumer trust. It also signals reliability to partners and publishers, improving long-term relationships across the ecosystem. 

As Rima explains, a premium environment serves as a strong foundation for both campaign performance and brand equity, drawing in audiences and fostering the affinity and trust that drive long-term value. 

Trader Tips:

“[Traders should] use the multiple different guardrails you have in platform: Things such as brand safety, viewability, contextual alignment, or even site lists can help you know that your campaigns are starting from a strong foundational point.” 

 — Rima Abbott, Activations Director, UM Worldwide

The key to leveraging premium media to help build long-term brand trust is using the platform’s tools to establish a high-quality foundation for every campaign: 

  • Protect brand trust with brand safety tools that can prevent ads from appearing next to inappropriate content 

  • Build positive associations with contextual alignment that enhances how audiences perceive your brand 

  • Strengthen engagement by maintaining high viewability so that your ads are seen and remembered 

Imagine a travel brand is launching a new loyalty program. By activating premium video and display inventory across trusted news and lifestyle publishers, the travel brand can help ensure that its creative appears alongside quality content that aligns with its message, leading to higher engagement, stronger perception, and a more credible connection with future travelers. 

Even the best creative can lose impact in the wrong setting. With our platform’s guardrails, brands can invest confidently in environments that help drive performance today and strengthen brand health over time.
