Both awards saw hundreds of entries across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Australia/New Zealand. The AdColony team is excited to have been recognized for our efforts as a martech (marketing technology) leader in the region with the following premier awards:

“This recognition is a result of our effort, perseverance and great work executed in the last 12 months, credited to team work from sales, publishing, planning, operations, marketing and of course, our great creative team,” said Vikas Gulati, Managing Director, APAC at AdColony. “These awards are truly special given they represent the broader marketing technology sphere.
The jury looked at the whole proposition we offer to clients and the marketing ecosystem — a comprehensive tech platform, creativity, innovation and data insights — and came to the unanimous decision of awarding them to AdColony,” he added.

- Unilever P/S “Heat or Treat Challenge” — AdColony’s Instant-Play™ HD Video and advanced SDK helped this location-based campaign take off. We reached 13.5 million consumers across Vietnam, engaging 2.6 million of them along with hundreds of local eateries in a spicy food challenge. The effort resulted in a 30% lift in sales.
- Disney Pixar’s “Finding Dory” — AdColony’s ensured that Indonesian mobile app users had the chance to “catch” Dory and learn more about the film’s characters to drive interest and ticket sales. By facilitating deeper interaction with the characters upon viewing a short trailer, AdColony drove 5x average time spent with the ad, over 3x overall engagement and 4x the average video completed view rate versus industry benchmarks.
- Unilever Sunsilk — Sunsilk collaborated with AdColony to drive awareness and preference of their product with a “mobile first audition” in the brand’s contest to create a new all female band. The “band audition” mobile campaign reached out to 4.6 million women, resulting in 800 submissions from 315,000 website visits. The campaign led to high impact across social networks and an increase in sales of 575,000 shampoo units.
In just two years of operations in APAC, AdColony is proud to be the leading mobile advertising company in the region with a commitment to delivering creative, innovative and high quality experiences for consumers.
