Shopper Media Exchange the first Southeast Asian 'Vertical Ad Network', focussed specifically on e-commerce media

Three industry veterans have launched 'Shopper Media Exchange'; the first Southeast Asian 'Vertical Ad Network', focussed specifically on e-commerce media. In their years of working in the digital advertising, technology and media industries, they experienced a lot of energy in meetings with e-commerce executives. They came to understand their extraordinary capabilities and entrepreneurial spirit but also their needs and decided to launch a business that can help e-commerce media companies to bridge the gap with large regional and global brands advertisers. The goal is to connect brand advertisers with shopper audiences that spend a significant amount of their time on their local and preferred e-commerce related media platforms and domains.

The Process

A lot of e-commerce media owners such as marketplaces, price- and product comparison sites, e-commerce platforms, forums and communities, are not always accessible for global brands because they simply don’t run (programmatic) advertising on their domains. Most existing commercial deals are with local advertisers or coming from small merchandising budgets. Today’s digital consumer integrates specific e-commerce media touch points across its digital shopper journey; you check product specific forums, interact with other shoppers in vertical communities, check prices , look for vouchers and read reviews. We call this ‘e-commerce media’ and it became the first dedicated e-commerce VAN (Vertical Ad Network) that opens these touchpoints so the audiences become visible and accessible to global and large regional brand. Media owners benefit instantly from these significantly larger media budgets.

The Result

The startup was suspended due to COVID19 related circumstances.
