RTB House unveiling new market presence in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region as it entered Australia and New Zealand. This market sector will be led by Steve McMahon, joining RTB House as Country Director.

Two-thirds (63%) of Australia’s digital advertising inventory across all devices is now bought through programmatic or ad network services, according to 2016 data from Pathmatics and Nielsen. Moreover, Australian marketers are the region’s leading proponents of programmatic advertising, Forrester Research study shows.

This represents a growing opportunity for companies like RTB House to establish business infrastructure in Australia and New Zealand. Steve McMahon, an experienced sales and business development manager, will lead operations in the region. In his previous role, he was responsible for driving sales efforts for Criteo in the same region.

Our entry into Australia and New Zealand is a big step for RTB House in expanding our global presence, especially in the APAC region. This is our sixth APAC global market expansion so far, after Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and Singapore. We are seeing strong signs of growth in both Australia and New Zealand and are happy to welcome Steve to the RTB House team. His breadth of experience across the technology industry will help us develop and execute a long-term growth plan. He will be responsible for the strategic direction, operational execution and overall leadership of business
