We share with MediaDonuts a strong belief in the potential of digital audio in this region, where the growth will be driven by the progressive shift of advertising to digital,” he said.
“With screenless moments significantly on the rise, we are beyond excited to partner with Targetspot, a global leader and pioneer in digital audio, to connect brands with listeners in India and Southeast Asia. Using rich data points based on users’ audio behavior, brands can now unlock the power of audio to speak directly to their audience and reach them in moments where visual ads cannot,” said Pieter-Jan de Kroon, managing director (Asia Pacific) at MediaDonuts.
