Here is what Artisan Partners specifically said about DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DV) in its Q2 2022 investor letter:
“DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DV) is the leading provider of data analytics that enable advertisers to increase the effectiveness, quality and return on their digital advertising investments. Instead of advertisers having to rely on each platform’s (Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.) own unique metrics and manually trying to aggregate them into a cohesive reporting framework, DoubleVerify’s software accomplishes this in one single solution. It uses its own measurement and analytics across the advertising ecosystem, providing brands with consistency and standardization in measuring the efficacy of their digital advertising spend. This helps solve a critical problem for brands and ultimately helps drive their future ad buying decisions, which can be particularly difficult when >40% of digital ads are never seen,<5% receive more than two seconds of engagement and 15%-20% of impressions are fraud where bots emulate human views. We believe the company is well positioned to benefit from increased penetration of digital ad impressions in new channels and geographies, market share gains and upselling existing customers to more advanced and higher priced offerings.”
