Programmatic Advertising in Japan

We plan programmatic DOOH across Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya in Japan. Screens are bought by audience and time of day, then reported back as what ran, where, and for how long. You see the delivery, not a promise of reach. You get the screens and the hours, not a modelled reach figure. Tell us the dates and the budget, and we will send a site list within 48 hours.
