INTERNET CONTENT SYNDICATION COUNCIL

 

Mission of the ICSC

Founded in October 2007, the mission of the Internet Content Syndication Council (ICSC) is to promote the growth of the
internet content syndication industry by improving the understanding of both the unique niche formed by this newly evolving industry and its impact on the advertising, media, creative and consumer communities.

What is Internet Content Syndication

Internet Content Syndication is the controlled placement of the same content on multiple partnering Internet destinations.
"Controlled placement" signifies it is the content itself that is placed on the destination sites. In this online marketing business model, the content’s destinations and placements are selected by the content owner or its syndication agent so as to maximize the content’s exposure to desired audiences.
