FouAnalytics announces global availability of FouAnalytics Unlimited

Flat-rate enterprise annual subscription for the world’s largest advertisers and agencies

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FouAnalytics, an independent digital advertising analytics platform, today announced the global availability of FouAnalytics Unlimited, a new enterprise subscription designed for the world’s largest advertisers and agencies. Priced at a flat annual fee of $2 million, FouAnalytics Unlimited provides analytics of served ad impressions across all formats — display, connected TV (CTV), online video (OLV), audio and native — without limits on the number of impressions, and comprehensive analytics for landing pages and websites, to measure clicks coming from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google search, TikTok, LinkedIn and other platforms, without limits on the number of pageviews measured.

“Who doesn’t love an unlimited plan?” said Dr. Augustine Fou, creator of FouAnalytics. “Just like Amazon Prime or unlimited wireless plans, FouAnalytics Unlimited eliminates the need to decide whether or not to fully measure ad campaigns with forensic analytics. This means all impressions can be measured for proper governance and real transparency.”

Against the backdrop of mounting scrutiny over high-profile failures by legacy verification vendors, FouAnalytics Unlimited offers advertisers a transparent alternative: independent forensics, data‑driven governance and continuous oversight of where their budgets actually go. “For years, the industry has been told that brand safety and fraud protection were taken care of, only to learn from investigations and whistleblowers that billions of dollars were quietly flowing to bots, fake traffic, made‑for‑arbitrage sites, disinformation and even highly inappropriate content,” Dr. Fou said.

FouAnalytics Unlimited is designed for advertisers who will no longer accept vague dashboards, generic assurances and invalid traffic, or IVT, numbers that legacy vendors cannot explain. They want independent, forensic proof of where every dollar and every ad impression go, and they want it at a scale that matches their global ad spending. None of the legacy verification vendors provide the level of detail that FouAnalytics does, so advertisers can “see Fou themselves” and understand why something is good or why something needs to be improved in their digital campaigns.

Responding to a crisis of confidence in legacy verification vendors

In recent years, advertisers, regulators and industry watchdogs have raised concerns about the performance and incentives of legacy verification vendors. Despite their widespread adoption, these vendors have found themselves at the center of reports showing ads running on made‑for‑arbitrage sites, copycat domains, piracy sites and properties that should have been flagged or excluded by basic fraud and safety checks.

Investigative research has repeatedly shown that large campaigns, including those of major consumer brands and public agencies, were still funding low‑quality inventory and risky environments, even while verification tags were present and fees were being charged for “protection.” These revelations have fueled a growing sense of disillusionment among marketers who believed that verification alone would shield them from fraud and reputational harm.

https://digiday.com/marketing/ad-verification-is-under-fire-ad-execs-are-questioning-its-role-as-protector/

That crisis of confidence is reflected in an annual poll Fou has run over the past four years, asking practitioners whom they trust more for the accuracy of digital media verification. Across all four years, the results have been consistent: a clear majority of respondents chose FouAnalytics over legacy verification vendors, signaling a demonstrable trust gap between buyers and the incumbents’ offerings.

“At this point, the largest advertisers on earth know that ad fraud is not 1 percent and has not been 1 percent for the last 10 years straight, as reported by the legacy vendors,” Dr. Fou continued. “They have seen too many instances where the tools they paid for failed to catch obvious fraud or dangerous placements. Most advertisers now realize that 1 percent was all these vendors could catch, not all the fraud there was.”

Why flat‑rate governance matters

FouAnalytics has been proven over the last 15 years as an independent analytics platform used by some of the largest advertisers and agencies on earth for governance of their digital ad spending. The new flat‑rate model introduced today makes sense because governance should not fluctuate with the number of impressions served.

Under impression‑based pricing, legacy verification vendors are paid more when more impressions are served and measured, including fraudulent ones. This creates a structural conflict: finding and stopping more fraud would reduce the number of impressions and therefore reduce revenue for those vendors.

By contrast, FouAnalytics Unlimited uses a fixed annual subscription. The flat rate eliminates the financial incentive to tolerate or overlook fraud and instead aligns FouAnalytics with the advertiser’s objective: to identify and remove waste, fake traffic and risk wherever they occur, regardless of how many impressions are purchased – i.e. measure ALL of it.

What FouAnalytics Unlimited delivers

FouAnalytics Unlimited is tailored for advertisers and agencies that oversee media investments involving billions or tens of billions of ad impressions each year.

Key features include:

Flat‑rate, unlimited forensics: A single, predictable annual fee of $2 million covers unlimited served ad impressions, freeing large advertisers from per‑impression or percentage‑of‑media pricing structures that can penalize success or discourage comprehensive oversight.Full‑format coverage: FouAnalytics Unlimited spans display, CTV, OLV, audio and native placements, recognizing that fraud and waste are not confined to any one channel and that governance must follow where budgets flow.Landing‑page and site‑level analysis: Beyond the ad call, the subscription includes forensic analysis of landing pages and sites, enabling advertisers to detect fake‑traffic schemes, arbitrage setups and poor user experiences that traditional verification tools often overlook.Independent rules and methodologies: FouAnalytics operates independently of the buying platforms and intermediaries whose inventory is evaluated. Its methodologies are designed to uncover and measure fakery, waste and risk, not to preserve the status quo of opaque ad‑tech ecosystems. Detailed data is provided so customers can troubleshoot problems and understand why something is good or not good.

By unbundling governance from media buying and verification tagging, FouAnalytics Unlimited offers advertisers a structurally different approach. It is not a tax on media, but a dedicated investment in transparency and control.

Trusted by global advertisers

Global advertisers such as Beiersdorf activated a total of 13 Performance Max campaigns across five countries, measured and optimized the performance of these campaigns with FouAnalytics and documented the case study and best practices with Dentsu, OMD, Iris and Google Ads.

FouAnalytics already counts three of the largest demand‑side platforms as long‑term customers, and one of them has already upgraded to FouAnalytics Unlimited. Not only did they discontinue using legacy verification vendors, but they are also using FouAnalytics data to continuously monitor and improve inventory quality for all of their customers at the same time.

“Once you see the FouAnalytics data, it is hard to go back. That is why we invite you to “see Fou yourself too,” Dr. Fou concluded.

AI Opportunity Fund Expands AI Skills Training Across Asia Pacific with 28 Phase Three Local Implementing Partners

Published

on

By

AVPN is also launching the AI Opportunity Learning Platform, giving learners access to localised AI training and recommended learning pathways in 16 languages

SINGAPORE, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AVPN, Asia’s largest platform for social impact, today announced the 28 organisations selected as local implementing partners joining phase three of the AI Opportunity Fund: Asia-Pacific, supported by Google.org and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The new cohort expands the Fund’s AI skills training into classrooms and workplaces across 19 markets, including through organisations participating in AI Ready ASEAN led by ASEAN Foundation.

Most of the new local implementing partners will work directly with K-12 teachers, university students and faculty, extending the Fund beyond today’s workforce to the educators shaping the next generation of workers. By building AI fluency among teachers and faculty, phase three is designed to carry that capability through successive cohorts of students. Other local implementing partners will reach healthcare workers, agricultural and service-sector workers, as well as employees of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

More information on the phase three organisations are here. Among the organisations receiving funding are:

Pratham Education Foundation (India) – works across schools and communities to improve education and prepare children and young people for a changing world. Pratham will train teachers to use AI critically in the classroom, adapting and localising content including Experience AI and Google for Education for its learners, alongside practical skills such as understanding when not to rely on AI tools.JA Korea (South Korea) – has trained 11,000 teachers over six years, and will pair Google’s AI training with formal certification for public school educators, with dedicated outreach to rural teachers. Classroom results will also feed into policy convenings with ministry officials, aiming to institutionalise national K-12 AI education policy, with dedicated outreach to give rural teachers equal access. AI Edu Corp (Vietnam) – a pioneer in digital skills training in Vietnam, AI Edu Corp has trained nearly 150,000 educators, students and workers since 2019. It has existing partnerships with Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training and will support efforts to embed AI literacy into teacher standards nationwide.

“AI tools are already entering classrooms and workplaces across Asia-Pacific. The challenge now is making sure people have the skills to use them well, and the judgement to know when not to be overly reliant on them. Phase Three takes that work further into the places where people learn and work, from schools and universities to healthcare, agriculture and small businesses,” said Naina Subberwal Batra, CEO at AVPN.

“Local organisations are central to making that happen. They understand the languages, communities and institutions they serve, and can adapt training in ways that a regional programme alone cannot. By also equipping educators, we have an opportunity for that knowledge to carry forward through successive generations of students,” she added.

A Single Point of Access to AI Learning

Today, AVPN is also launching the AI Opportunity Learning Platform, AVPN’s gateway to AI training programmes across Asia-Pacific. The platform connects learners with AI learning opportunities and resources designed and delivered by trusted local partners. Each programme is tailored to its target learners, kept up to date, and delivered in local languages, helping educators, students, workers, and MSMEs apply AI confidently and responsibly in their own fields.

Available in 16 languages, the platform will recommend a learning pathway based on a short assessment. Certification available upon completion of training. A Gemini-powered assistant will help users navigate the platform, answer questions about it and provide guided learning.

For Phase 3, AVPN has brought on a new strategic partner, the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Foundation will work with local implementing partners to localise Experience AI content for their markets and languages, while providing training and guidance on using the content. Another new strategic partner is the Ayala Foundation, who will provide access to Google AI learning resources for educators and students in the Philippines. Additionally, Ayala Foundation will support the AI Opportunity Fund’s local implementing partners in the Philippines to access more opportunities for organisational growth.

“Access to AI skills depends on whether people can find training that is relevant to them, in a language and setting that works for them. The 28 organisations joining Phase Three bring that local knowledge, whether they are working with teachers, students, healthcare workers or small businesses,” said Marija Ralic, Head of Google.org APAC.

“The AI Opportunity Learning Platform extends that approach. By bringing training and local partners together in one place and making it available in 16 languages, we can make it easier for learners across Asia-Pacific to find relevant training and connect with organisations in their market.”

Launched in 2024 with a USD 15 million commitment, the Fund received a further USD 10 million in Phase Two in May 2025 and another USD 10 million in Phase Three in May 2026, bringing Google.org’s total commitment to USD 35 million.

To date, the Fund has trained more than 850,000 workers and 63,000 small businesses across Asia-Pacific, working through almost 60 local implementing partner organisations and delivering programmes in more than 30 local languages.
