Tokyo, May 19, 2017 --- D.A.Consortium Inc.(DAC) and its consolidated subsidiary, DAC ASIA PTE. LTD. (DAC ASIA) will be acting as the exclusive strategic partner for the newly launched Online Premium Publishers Association in Thailand (OPPA), which consists of 12 local leading online publishers.

■Market background
There is a growing trend worldwide of leading online premium publishers forming alliances for the purpose of integrating high brand value ad inventory with audience data to be used for ad targeting and marketing analysis. This allows for the provision of data in large quantities sufficient for marketing applications and the ability to use that data on brand-safe media and ad inventory. Advertisers are increasingly recognizing the value this offers, and market expectations are very high.

■Project background
The DAC group has worked on various projects in South East Asia, ranging from providing publishers and advertisers leading ad technologies to developing new ad products and services in areas such as audience targeting.
The DAC group joined OPPA as an advisor and supported the formation of the alliance of the 12 online premium publishers as exclusive strategic partner.

■Project overview
OPPA is a project led by 12 leading Thai online premium publishers (*1) which aims to provide advertisers with qualified and scalable ad inventory that utilizes the audience data of all participating publishers. With the participation of Thailand’s leading online premium publishers, OPPA is able to ensure both sufficient reach to digital media users and brand-safe value added services. Furthermore, OPPA already reaches an active audience with close to 100 million monthly unique browser data which is collected and usable in creating a variety of segments for audience targeting.

OPPA will offer services that utilize trustworthy data and scalable inventory and produce added value for the data-driven marketing market in Thailand.
As the exclusive strategic partner of OPPA, the DAC group will provide support in areas such as project management, ad product development, technology and sales.
For local support, operations and technology development, DAC will work closely with its business venture ally, Innity Corporation Berhad (Innity).
Sales activities will be carried out by DAC’s subsidiary i-dac (Thailand) Co., Ltd, and Innity.

■Future collaboration
Leveraging its experience in cutting edge digital marketing and its technology portfolio, the DAC group will provide support to OPPA for new media buying methods and developing new ad formats and solutions.
The DAC group will continue to use these strengths to improve the quality of the business development and consulting support it provides in the digital marketing and data-driven marketing markets of South East Asia.
