TotallyAwesome, Australia’s digital media network for GenZ and families, has launched TotallyAwesome Programmatic Playground, a digital platform that allows APAC advertisers to engage with under 18’s in brand safe environments at scale using programmatic technology.
Why is TotallyAwesome’s program relevant?
Despite U18’s and teens increasingly controlling most household purchasing decisions around holidays, cars, beauty, auto and tech, marketers have been unable to target them in a brand safe, contextual environment. TotallyAwesome Programmatic Playground solves this issue.
Unlike most programmatic solutions, TotallyAwesome Programmatic Playground engages with its audience contextually via over 7,000 verified brand safe media inventory formats including apps, websites and games to deliver over 300 million monthly active online users under 18 across APAC. It does not collect any data or personal identifying information (PII).
Will Anstee, CEO of TotallyAwesome said, “We’re extremely proud to bring the world’s first programmatic solution to safely engage with an Under 18 audience to market in Asia Pacific.”
“TotallyAwesome is passionate about helping brands reach audiences under 18 years in an age-appropriate, brand safe environment. We’ve invested significant time and resources to create this world-first solution that enables brands and agencies to engage with this powerful and influential audience with meaning and utility at scale, in a protected environment.”
Does TotallyAwesome’s technology meet standards?
Powered by TotallyAwesome’s Curation and Moderation Platform (CaMP cloud-based tool) that has ingested over millions of brand safe media ad units, TotallyAwesome Programmatic Playground delivers the best in class media supply across Asia-Pacific engaging Under 18’s.
All inventory is vetted by moderators including teenagers in the local language to guarantee brand safe and ad fraud free inventory. The technology is compliant with both COPPA and GDPR data privacy guidelines and regulations, and is a member of the kidSAFE Seal Program.
The company follows the most advanced Government regulations protecting kids’ data and privacy. A resident practising psychologist advises on what is age appropriate and consequently helps shape its products and develop bespoke research solutions.
James Sawyer, AUNZ Managing Director of TotallyAwesome added, “The TotallyAwesome Programmatic Playground combines a best-in-class contextual discovery platform with privacy compliant technology and informed human insight to create a world-first solution.”
“We’re delighted to be able to provide a safe environment to enable brands to build powerful Private Market Places (PMP’s) to responsibly engage with this audience in Australia.”
Using a custom data filter that prevents PII-sensitive information from being collected and transferred in the bid request, TotallyAwesome Programmatic Playground leverages and optimises over 200 interest categories of Under 18s passion points to create sophisticated audience segments to responsibly engage with this hard-to-reach audience.
