About

Why Globalis Media?

Globalis Media is a unique global online marketing solutions provider.
What makes us unique is our dedicated advertiser-centric approach
Most online media networks, exchanges, and platforms are publisher-centric.
On their web sites, they promise to help publishers earn the highest eCPM’s.
We are solely focused on achieving advertiser objectives as cost-efficiently as possible.

Most media agencies are essentially sales agencies for media publishers.
Most media agencies sell standard media offerings at full rates, with little creativity in media planning and buying, and mediocre campaign management.
Globalis is a media buying agency, totally dedicated to getting the best value for advertisers.

Most digital agencies or trading desks have one media platform they push, because they have a vested self-interest in that one platform. Maybe they have a commitment to only use that one platform, or maybe it’s the only platform they know how to use. Globalis Media currently uses ten different online ad platforms, including the top DSP’s in the world. Our media-buying and campaign management experts have world-class expertise in using various programmatic media-buying platforms and tools. We are platform-agnostic. Our only interest is in using whatever works best for our advertisers.

Our founder started his career as a brand manager, and spent years buying traditional and digital media. Active in the online media industry since 1999, he saw that the industry was publisher-centric. He decided to launch Globalis Media as an advertiser-centric online marketing provider that truly puts advertiser first. We often save online advertisers 25% – 50% on their online marketing costs.

We have run online media campaigns in more than 50 countries.
We run global, regional, national, and local campaigns.
We excel in geo-targeting and language targeting, which few agencies or advertisers use well.
Our people are smart, highly-trained, and responsive.
We are dedicated to providing the highest level of service to our clients and business partners.

Our History

Active in the online advertising business in Asia since 1999,we had observed that the industry was dominated by oligopolies selling media at extremely high prices. Big media companies and big media agencies earned big profits, while most advertisers struggled to achieve reasonable ROI on their online marketing. We saw opportunities to pioneer several important online media concepts in Asia that would greatly lower online media costs and improve online marketing ROI for advertisers:

  • launch Asia’s first advertiser-centric online media provider
  • using geo-targeting to target users in Asian markets while buying media globally
  • making publishers’ remnant media available to advertisers
  • aggregating media from mid- and long-tail sites, rather than just the typical method in Asia of buying media on a few large, famous sites
  • first to use RTB media platform in Asia
  • first to use online media exchange in Asia

Over the past seventeen years, Globalis Media has managed thousands of online advertising campaigns, run hundreds of thousands of creatives, and served tens of billions of impressions for more than 100 companies in dozens of countries. Globalis has always consistently out-performed all other digital agencies used by our clients, with cost savings ranging from 10% – 85%.

In most cases, the cost savings we achieve for our clients more than cover our fees – essentially providing our clients with free digital advertising agency support.

In 2010, Globalis relocated its office to Cebu, Philippines, providing a more central location than Tokyo to serve the company’s clients around Asia and globally. Cebu is a booming technology center, with a large pool of educated, skilled, English-speaking technology workers.

In January, 2013, Globalis formed a subsidiary company, ExDigita Inc., incorporated in the Philippines. ExDigita provides digital marketing virtual staff and outsourced services, including outsourced advertising operations and campaign management.
