AppsFlyer starts Brazilian operations

The mobile marketing attribution platform has recently opened their first headquarters in Latin America in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the leader of the regional operations, Daniel Junowicz, is based.
Their platform is connected to 1,900 ad networks worldwide; and, being an official Facebook, Google, and Twitter partner should boost their initial moves in Latin America. The company claims to have analysed USD$4bn (£2.8bn) invested in mobile.
Adsmovil joins Moat in viewability partnership
Adsmovil and Moat announced a partnership earlier this week aiming for better viewability metrics for their clients in Latin America. According to the companies, the deal happened as a result of local requests for more transparency in digital ads campaigns.
With joint efforts, Adsmovil’s goal is to obtain viewability above 75% in their campaigns.
MediaMath invest in education to sustain growth in Brazil
Mario Rubino, recently nominated general manager for MediaMath Brazil, emphasised the company’s investments in education in an interview with ExchangeWire Brazil. The investments aim to sustain their growth in the country, one of the 13 locations in Latin America where MediaMath has operations. According to him, Brazil achieved the biggest increase in revenue compared to the performance of MediaMath worldwide.
“The past two years represented a spectacular growth for the company. We are excited about this and we want to keep increasing the numbers”, Rubino said. He expects the country will surpass Mexico and soon be the largest market for MediaMath in LATAM. The North American country has advantages due to the rapid growth of trading desks.
Fernando Juarez, general manager, MediaMath Latin America, affirms that Brazil is creating a lot of opportunities for programmatic, yet has challenges of a “knowledge gap” about new technologies. The company has recently opened their New Marketing Institute in Sao Paulo to help advertisers and agencies learn and keep up with the pace of ad tech.
“It is part of our goal to form skilled people to work in this market. The interest in this initiative is impressive”, said Rubino. He also acknowledges the market is more concentrated, with some competitors stepping back. “Our mission is to keep serving our clients well. The digital ad market is getting interested in programmatic, and digital investments are migrating to programmatic.”
