Execu9ve  Summary  

•  Strategic  Alliance  with  SK  based  companies  to  establish  rela9onships  with  Publishers  and  Ad  Networks/Exchanges  may  be  the  best  market  entry  strategy  for  <Company>  –  SK  is  a  mature  market,  which  necessitates  quick  acquisi9on  of  publishers  and  channels  –  Alliance/Partnership  will  avoid  opera9ng  and  financial  risk  especially  due  to  different  business  

environment  in  SK  as  compared  to  US  –  Technology  innova9on,  higher  margin  business  model  and  beLer  ability  to  manage  SK  leadership  will  

be  the  key  to  long  term  success  

•  South  Korea  (SK)  represents  a  strong  market  opportunity  with  es9mated  online  display  ad  spend  of  $1.5B  in  2011  with  poten9al  to  grow  by  20%  in  2  years  

•  Compe99on  data,  although  limited,  reflects  indirect  compe99on  with  publishers  and  ad  networks  in-­‐house  technology  and  poten9ally  direct  compe99on  as  well  

•  Business  ecosystem  in  SK  has  some  dissimilari9es  than  in  US,  which  puts  a  stress  on  building  right  partnerships  to  succeed  

•  Regulatory  environment  is  strong  and  effec9ve  in  SK,  along  with  some  recent  examples  of  legal  ac9ons  against  global  players  like  Google  

•  As  next  steps,  primary  research  is  required  on  compe99on  and  poten9al  partners  in  SK

–  Internet  and  mobile  users  are  typically  60%  males  and  40%  females;  50%  have  monthly  income  levels  in  range  of  $2K  -­‐  $5K  and  rest  40%  have  that  greater  than  $5K3,4  

•  Total  Ad  spending  is  es9mated  to  be  $8B4  out  of  which  Online  Display  Ads  (banners,  rich  media,  video  &  mobile)  account  for  $1.5B  (18%)  

1  -­‐  Internet  Usage  Rates  in  Korea,  Credits  to  Internet  World  Stats  2  -­‐  Smartphone  Trends  in  South  Korea,  credits  to  KCC,  ROA  Consul@ng  3  –  eMarketer.com,  No  income  level  data  or  income  less  than  $2K  for  remaining  10%  of  the  popula@on  4  –  1  USD  is  equal  to  ~  1100  SKW  5  –  Online  display  ad  spend  in  US  ~  $13B  on  online  popula@on  of  250M

Compe99on  

•  Limited  direct  compe99on  in  South  Korea  –  Google  has  a  few  hundred  employees  in  SK1  with  almost  none  focused  on  display  

adver9sing  

–  No  publicly  available  data  on  Rubicon  Project  and  Admeld2  

•  Possible  existence  of  indirect  and  in-­‐house  compe99on3  

–  Being  a  mature  market  with  fairly  large  size  of  the  industry,  the  leading  publishers  may  have  in-­‐house  tools  for  yield  op9miza9on  

–  There  is  also  possibility  of  ad  networks  providing  “yield  op9miza9on”  services  to  the  publishers  

Publicly  available  data  on  compe99on  is  limited  and  needs  addi9onal  direct    research  with  the  publishers  and  other  industry  players  

1  –  LinkedIn  search  provides  about  100+  employees  but  none  of  them  using  keywords  of    “display  adver@sing”  2  –  Internet  searched  do  not  provide  any  useful  insights  into  presence  of  these  companies  in  SK  3  –  Hyperlinks  to  the  ads  on  SK  websites  are  sourced  from  in-­‐house  ad  networks

Similari8es   Dissimilari8es  •  Large  base  of  Internet  users,  broadband  and  mobility  •  Mature  market  of  ad  spending  and  presence  of  several  ad  agencies  and  ad  networks  •  Ecosystem  also  has  other  players  such  as  online  user  data  &  insights  providers,  analy9cs,  etc.  

•  Tradi9onal  businesses  tend  to  be  conglomerates  with  several  disconnected  businesses  •  Bloggers  and  unofficial  sources  are  concerned  about  government’s  support  to  SK  businesses  against  foreign  players

Strategic  Alliance  

• Create  alliances  in  specific  areas  to  deal  with  business  environment  • Mul9ple  alliances  help  create  stronger  ecosystem  in  long  run
