Rocky has always understood digital advertising through the lens of traffic quality & IVT. His first job in the industry was as a Traffic Quality Specialist at Conversant, and he threw himself into the work of understanding how IVT detection worked. It was there he started noticing the strategies that some publishers used to acquire inorganic traffic which tests clean for IVT, and that started him digging into how those blind spots could be accounted for.
After a year as a specialist, he spent the next 3 1/2 years with an MRC accredited vendor developing IVT detection algorithms for mobile & CTV traffic. His discoveries & research revealed much that was unknown about app spoofing & publisher fraud in those environments. Still, there was always a desire to step away from tag-based tracking solutions, and develop an experiential approach to measuring publisher risk.
Since co-founding DeepSee, Rocky has devoted his energy to shining light on the low-quality publishers that plague the programmatic ecosystem, and understanding how the worst sites on the web are connected to the sites that advertisers spend their money on.
