Multiple Sources Discuss Possible FBI Investigation of the U.S. Advertising Industry

Video Ad News (15 June 2018) and Media Post (14 June 2018) comment on the FBI’s possible investigation into media trading practices within the advertising industry; both articles also report speculation that K2 Intelligence’s 2016 report for the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) on non-transparent practices in the U.S. media-buying marketplace may have triggered the probe.
