“We need to clean it up and invest the time and money we save into better advertising to drive growth,” Pritchard told about 1,000 executives gathered for the meeting of the group also known as the IAB.

The organization consists of more than 650 media and technology companies that are responsible for selling, delivering and optimizing digital advertising or marketing campaigns. The IAB’s members account for 86 percent of online advertising in the United States.
