Independent post-bid verification from ad-fraud researcher Dr. Augustine Fou provides third-party validation of IntentKey supply quality
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inuvo, Inc. (NYSE American: INUV), a leading provider of artificial intelligence advertising technology solutions, today announced the integration of FouAnalytics' independent traffic quality measurement into IntentKey® audience modeling technology.
FouAnalytics is an independent measurement firm founded by Dr. Augustine Fou, a widely recognized ad-fraud and traffic-quality researcher with three decades in digital marketing. Through post-bid verification, FouAnalytics measures which impressions reached genuine human audiences, providing Inuvo with an independent read on supply quality and third-party validation of IntentKey’s media decisioning.
IntentKey reaches audiences based on why consumers are interested, not who they are, building custom audience models without relying on third-party cookies, IDs or off-the-shelf segments.
"Advertisers are under pressure to prove that media dollars are not just being spent, but are working," said Eric Tilbury, Inuvo’s Vice President of Programmatic Ops & Solutions Engineering. "By incorporating independent traffic quality measurement, we're giving clients greater confidence in where their media runs and how those decisions contribute to performance.”
"Independent post-bid measurement is the only way to see where ads actually ran and which supply was real," said Dr. Augustine Fou, founder of FouAnalytics. "Inuvo is taking that signal and incorporating it into how it evaluates inventory, which is where measurement does the most good for accountability in programmatic."
IntentKey audience models can be activated through custom private marketplaces via a client’s DSP of choice or through Inuvo’s fully managed service.
