As part of our group's strategy to be 100% digital, we have been looking at bringing digitization across all media and across our organisation. With this partnership with AsiaMX, we now have the opportunity to access premium TV content programmatically, bringing automation to TV planning and buying, along with audience-based targeting capabilities," said Sunil Yadav, President, Amplifi Asia Pacific. 

AsiaMX offers premium programmatic advertising assets from leading pay-TV and free-to-air networks via an algorithm-based platform.
