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
