For DSPs & ad tech
Chinese outbound advertisers are a substantial programmatic demand pool that most DSPs cannot onboard, because the barriers are commercial and operational rather than technical. Mammoth resolves the parts that sit outside your platform.
Last reviewed
DSPs connect to China outbound demand through Mammoth by using it as the commercial and operational counterparty: Mammoth holds the Chinese advertiser and agency relationships, manages RMB settlement and cross-border contracting, and supplies localisation and verification, while the DSP provides the technical buying platform.
Where it breaks
Onboarding Chinese outbound demand is costly because the hard parts are not technical. Credit and settlement, entity verification, Chinese-language support, localised documentation and fraud screening each require capability a DSP would have to build specifically for one demand geography.

What you get
01
Rather than onboarding many Chinese entities individually, you transact with Mammoth, which consolidates credit exposure, contracting and settlement into one relationship in a jurisdiction you already operate in.
02
Cross-border billing, currency and invoicing requirements are handled on the China side, so your finance function receives a settlement flow that matches its existing process.
03
Access to the concentrated Chinese agency and trading-desk layer through founders who previously led Wavemaker China and Wavemaker APAC, rather than through cold market entry.
04
Chinese-language documentation, onboarding support and creative adaptation, so adoption is not blocked by the operational friction that usually stalls cross-border platform usage.
05
Integration with ReachMax third-party ad serving, so campaign delivery produces records that Chinese buyers accept alongside your own platform reporting.

Next step
If Chinese outbound advertisers would use your platform but cannot be onboarded economically, the first conversation is about which specific barrier is binding — credit, settlement, language or verification.
