Its membership is comprised of more than 150 leading media companies, brands and technology firms responsible for enabling excellence in digital marketing that focuses on identifying and targeting audiences, delivering and optimising campaigns to these audiences and the innovation and selling of such activities.
IAB South Africa enables growth for its people, agencies, brands, publishers and platforms through education, measurement and acknowledgement.

Building Brands Digitally. Leading brands to embrace the new digital media mix by making it easier to buy, sell, create, deploy and measure engaging digital advertising.
Putting Users First. Guiding standards that provide choices for marketers, content providers and consumers, and optimising user experiences.
Making Sense of Measurement. Creating a consistent approach to measuring and assessing digital media, and empowering marketers to create powerful cross-screen branding campaigns based on educated decisions and accountable investments.
Publisher Transformation. Ensuring the value of publishers’ audiences is realised and diversified revenue streams are commonplace.
