Advisory Board | Brand Safety Institute

The Brand Safety Institute has named two dozen industry leaders as founding members of the BSI Board of Advisors, which will help design the brand safety curriculum for BSI's accreditation program for corporate executives. The new Board includes senior executives focusing on brand safety and related issues from top trade associations – including the 4A's, IAB UK, IAB Tech Lab, ISBA, JICWEBS, and TAG – and companies – including Bank of America, Facebook, IPG Mediabrands, GroupM, and Pandora.

"If you want to establish a rigorous standard for brand safety knowledge and expertise, you need to consult with the industry leaders who have set the bar on those issues," said Neal Thurman, co-founder of BSI. "We are delighted to welcome a powerhouse panel of brand safety experts from across the digital advertising space to help us design a robust, impactful, and forward-thinking brand safety curriculum. Working together, we can give brand safety executives the information and tools they need to protect their brands – and our ecosystem – from the growing range of brand safety threats."

The Board chair is Rachel Nyswander Thomas, Chief Operating Officer at the Trustworthy Accountability Group.
