ICYMI: Other tech items we covered this week 



AdAsia Holdings launched in-feed native ad formats for both desktop and mobile devices through the AdAsia Ad Network. Publishers and media owners can customize the styling of their in-feed native ad units, including the addition of images and logos, for greater blending into their online properties.

Kosuke Sogo, CEO and co-founder, AdAsia Holdings:

We are looking to raise not only the standard of marketing but also the standard of online properties where the ads are shown. That is why we’ve moved into emerging markets like Phnom Penh and Hanoi, enabling them from an early stage.

Otohiko Kozutsumi, COO and co-founder, AdAsia Holdings:

We are working with our publishers in the AdAsia Ad Network to roll out our native ad formats across all our markets. Native advertising coupled with the ability to purchase programmatically creates a more relevant and less disruptive advertising experience for users.



Vietnamese broadcast and digital-video company BHD chose the SpotX video inventory management platform to power monetisation of its media properties.

SpotX’s ad-serving technology will allow advertisers and agencies to buy inventory across BHD’s portfolio programmatically, as well as through automated direct buys. It will also let BHD manage advertising through all its distribution partners, platforms, OTT services and apps from a single platform.

BHD’s titles include Vietnam’s Idol, Vietnam’s Got Talent, Master Chef, Amazing Race, The Price is Right, Ugly Betty, Home Improvement and Name That Tune. The company’s DANET VOD service launched in October 2016 and is carried on six platforms, including all major IPTV and OTT platforms in Vietnam.



Withfluence updated its online platform, which allows users to find, manage and pay online influencers, and is offering a 30-day free trial to brands and agencies. 

Updates to the platform include access to an influencer network across Asia and analytics regarding influencer performance and audience demographics.

Hiroyuki Okamoto, CEO and co-founder, Withfluence:

After we launched the first product, we have learned a lot from existing brands and agencies regarding the challenges. We’re continuing to improve and update our platform, our focus is on providing a bridge for brands and individuals in Asia to connect and create powerful content together, we hope that this new update will benefit both brands and creators.
