The fragmented online time is mostly split between different APPs and websites and it becomes even more difficult to target Chinese audiences at one place.
The change of user behaviours online drives the revolution of marketing as well. Even the Chinese search engines themselves are introducing a different type of advertising options, such as native ads, news feed ads, and the DSP ads to grasp more traffic.
Using one single marketing channel is clearly not enough to target the Chinese customers effectively, a smart alternative is needed to effectively target users online.
Programmatic digital display ad spending in China will reach $29.61 billion (RMB196.73 billion) in 2019, nearly double the amount allocated in 2017, with mobile accounting for 86.9% of outlays.

China Programmatic Advertising Options
Programmatic advertising in China is likely to be the cure to the challenge.

Regardless the differences among different networks, it normally can target users by combining the following targeting options:
• Demographic information

• Online browsing behaviour
• Locations
If the consumer persona is well refined, it is possible to combine the above targeting options to categorise the audiences online into different stages of their buying journey. And target them effectively at the right time and the right place with the right message.
The reach of the programmatic ads is immense, however, like other display and video ads, the verdict is low CTR. Therefore, it is important to understand it is a process of finding the new customers and expand the reach. So there will be some rejections on the way, by filtering irrelevant traffic out, it will eventually find the right customers. Machine learning will help refine the targeting options with time.
