Air Materials

We are moving towards Ad-ID being the industry standard identifier for all forms of media. While we will continue to accept copy with either the ISCI or Ad-ID identifier, we ask that you endeavor to utilize Ad-ID. Using Ad-ID greatly improves workflow between agen​cy, advertiser, and distributor. Ad-ID upgrades the previous ISCI commercial coding system and replaces other methods used to identify advertising assets.
