SINGAPORE, June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- InMobi, the world's leading Marketing Cloud, announced the expansion of its product offerings, leadership team and local footprint in Southeast Asia to better deliver value for its customers. Southeast Asia, with 90% internet users connecting via mobile, is a core part of the growth story in the APAC region for InMobi. InMobi's platform covers a large scale of 200+ million smartphone users in SEA, growing steadily year on year with expansion into Thailand and Vietnam markets late last year.

Recently, InMobi established a holding company structure with its three core businesses – IMC, Glance and TruFactor.

The IMC offerings will help brands and marketers better understand their consumers through near real-time insights and act on them to deliver a personalized experience throughout the customer journey," said Vasuta Agarwal, Managing Director, Asia Pacific at InMobi.

The InMobi offerings include a Demand-side platform (DSP) and an Exchange platform/ SSP – for unlocking significant value for in-app media buyers and sellers through access to high-quality in-app inventory/ audiences, transparency and control of media management, and high performance. The IMC platform also enables marketers with actionable insights through InMobi Pulse, which provides the ability to capture real-time voice of the customer using short mobile surveys.

InMobi has seen strong growth in Southeast Asia through a localized approach with on ground business teams, support for creative services in the local language and providing localized audiences and insights for its brand and agency partners.
