Jakarta, Indonesia, 25 June 2020 – GroupM, the media investment group of WPP, announced an industry-leading partnership in Indonesia with Tokopedia – Indonesia’s largest e-Commerce platform with over 90 million monthly active users.
In line with the increased growth of e-Commerce, GroupM has partnered with Tokopedia to give clients more value when they activate campaigns on the platform. As the first agency to unlock this partnership, GroupM clients will benefit from preferred access to new inventory, exclusive benefits on advertising and promotions, including Tokopedia Festive Campaigns such as the upcoming Tokopedia 11th Anniversary campaign in August 2020.
The aim of the partnership is to unlock the potential of e-Commerce for clients. Tokopedia will empower GroupM and its agencies to leverage its marketing solutions and tools, like TopAds, to drive business growth and improve the shopper experience. Through this partnership, GroupM and its agencies (Mindshare, MediaCom, Wavemaker, Essence and m/SIX) will offer clients a holistic e-Commerce solution from strategy to performance marketing, off and on the platform.
Himanshu Shekhar, CEO of GroupM Indonesia, commented on the partnership, “We are absolutely bullish about accelerating the growth of e-Commerce together with Tokopedia and our clients. Through this strategic partnership, we hope we can further strengthen our e-Commerce capability to build our clients’ businesses.
