With 20 percent of the world’s internet users residing in China, and over 400 million people among its growing middle class, China presents a huge opportunity for global brands looking to grow their customer base. According to a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of The Trade Desk, 92 percent of global marketers believe China is a significant growth opportunity for their business.
Finding a trusted, global programmatic partner is also crucial for brands. Three quarters of marketers surveyed believe that it is critical or very important to work with an independent ad-buying partner in China. The Trade Desk’s independence, buy-side-only focus, global reach and ongoing commitment to trust and transparency make it a clear choice for global advertisers.
“The Trade Desk’s independence, objectivity, and global reach were important reasons we partnered with them,” said Benson Ho, Chief Data Strategy Officer, Tencent Marketing Solution. “Our audience, scale, and insights, combined with the transparency, reach, and control offered by The Trade Desk’s platform ensures that innovative marketers can understand and engage with consumers in China throughout their entire journey. We value our partnership with The Trade Desk and the benefits it will provide both of our companies as well as brands around the world for years to come.”
