Driver: Advancements in AdTech and Programmatic Platforms

The emergence of AdTech and programmatic advertising is revolutionizing the way that brands in Southeast Asia plan, purchase, and measure campaigns. Automated systems enable advertisers to engage specific audiences in real time, which enhances efficiency and minimizes wastage. The accuracy of this targeting, combined with data analytics and AI-based optimization, enables brands to create messaging at scale, making it more personalized and leading to increased engagement and conversion rates. The digital transformation of the regional businesses is stamping programmatic tools as the foundation of modern advertising strategies. During the period of increasing the use of DSPs, SSPs, and data management platforms in Indonesia, Singapore, and Vietnam, the markets grow faster, and a more performance-based ad ecosystem is formed. On January 15, 2025, Magnite, the largest independent sell-side advertising company, announced it has strengthened its partnership with Samsung Ads to power programmatic advertising on Samsung TV Plus inventory in Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand for the first time. Advertisers now have programmatic access to premium video inventory on Samsung’s free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) service, Samsung TV Plus, which went live across the Southeast Asia region late last year.
