Asiaray Officially Launches DOOH Programmatic Transaction Platform with The Trade Desk and Magnite

HONG KONG,Dec. 9,2020 --Asiaray Media Group Limited ("Asiaray" or the "Group"; stock code: 1993),an outstanding out-of-home ("OOH") media company with a strategic focus on airport,metro line and high speed rail line advertising,has announced the launch of its Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) programmatic transaction platform with The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) and Magnite Inc. (formerly known as the Rubicon Project and Telaria),marking a significant milestone for the Group. The cooperation will enable Asiaray to programmatically trade its DOOH display and video inventory across offline and online platforms providing an opportunity to capture the attention of worldwide marketers.

Building on Asiaray's successful programmatic DOOH project with Magnite which commenced in January 2020,Asiaray is pleased to announce the partnership with The Trade Desk,a global advertising technology company that empowers advertisers to execute data-driven digital advertising campaigns across various ad formats and devices. This campaign marks a key milestone for Asiaray's Offline and Online New Media Strategy,which created the connection between offline DOOH media and programmatic advertising. Leveraging Magnite's independent omnichannel sell-side advertising platform,Asiaray is able to offer its DOOH billboards in Hong Kong on The Trade Desk,generates great synergies between the two parties,providing marketers an additional media buying option as well as creating a new channel for the Group to reach out to potential online marketers worldwide.

Furthermore,the strategic partnership has successfully marked the first-ever programmatic guaranteed DOOH campaign for Magnite and The Trade Desk in Hong Kong,which is a transformation from the traditional concept of conducting transactions at fixed prices and fixed times to online platform transactions. This will enable guaranteed media buying patterns,allowing media buyers to maximize their ad exposure. This also marks the first time in the DOOH industry to have programmatic transaction technology successfully integrated into The Trade Desk's platform. In this cooperation,Asiaray will leverage the strength of its pioneering Offline and Online New Media Strategy,facilitating advertisers with technology supporting audience segmentation and verification measurement to adopt a flexible way for buying and to help brands to deliver a more targeted,unified and holistic experience to consumers. The programmatic automation empowers the DOOH addressability based on the number of audiences in the proximity of the screen. The object recognition technology can be coupled to provide probabilistic audience segmentation and support measurement verification.

Mr Vincent Lam,Founder,Chairman and Executive Director of Asiaray,said,"Given the proliferate growth of DOOH,we are delighted to have secured new programmatic cooperationwith two of the world's major adtech players – Magnite and The Trade Desk. This campaign makes a key milestone for Asiaray's Offline and Online New Media Strategy,which created a strong connection between offline DOOH media and online advertisement buying. What is more,the cooperation will provide us a chance to reach out to a different group of usual online advertisers,thus to expand our clientele and eventually expand the Group's penetration in the market. Looking ahead,Asiaray will continue to work closely with our partners to develop even more effective media solutions for advertisers to generate greater value of the campaign."

Mr Yogesh Sehgal,Country Manager,Asia of Magnite,said,"This campaign shows the immense possibilities for buyers when combining a high impact format like DOOH with the automated buying of Programmatic Guaranteed,which still allows flexible targeting but guarantees access to premium inventory. We are proud to have worked with our partners to facilitate this important milestone,and look forward to running more campaigns in the near future."

Mr Doug Choy,Senior Director,Inventory Partnerships of The Trade Desk,"In this world of new technologies,programmatic buying in advertising is certainly a growing trend,and The Trade Desk is delighted to partner with Asiaray and Magnite to introduce our first offline media resources. Marketers now have the opportunity to access inventory for DOOH billboards in Hong Kong through our platform,thereby helping them achieve their greater business objectives.
