Zagorski notes that the online ad market is "in pretty good shape," with areas like connected television and retail media networks contributing to the health of the digital advertising space. Despite the challenges faced in DoubleVerify's first quarter, he observes that "across all the different verticals" of advertising, the company was "relatively healthy."
