Market context

Why programmatic in Japan

Local platforms dominate

Yahoo! JAPAN, LINE and local SSPs hold a large share of Japanese attention. Global DSP buys need the right local exchanges and deals to reach the same people.

Creative has to feel native

Japanese audiences expect polished, localised creative. Translated Western ads rarely perform, so copy, layout and video need to be built for Japan.

Mobile and video lead

Most Japanese browsing and viewing happens on smartphones and YouTube. Budgets need mobile-first formats and video that holds attention on small screens.
