Indonesia Mobile Exchange (IMX) allows advertisers to connect with publishers which provide mobile advertising spots and bid for the spots in real time.
“This Exchange platform can reach out all cellular customers. We start it by cooperating directly with Indonesian leading publishers, such as the Indonesia Digital Association [IDA] members,” said IMX chief executive Citra Agus in Jakarta.
