For media owners
Chinese advertisers represent one of the largest pools of underserved international media demand. Reaching it has required a China-side sales operation most media owners cannot justify building. Mammoth is that operation, as a service.
Last reviewed
Global media owners reach Chinese outbound demand through Mammoth by treating it as their China-side sales and operations layer. Mammoth holds the agency and advertiser relationships, handles cross-border contracting and settlement, and delivers verified campaign records — without the media owner establishing a China presence.
Where it breaks
Capturing Chinese outbound demand requires relationships inside a concentrated agency layer, the ability to contract and settle across the border, and measurement that Chinese buyers recognise. Building that capability for one revenue line rarely justifies the investment, so most media owners leave the demand unserved.

What you get
01
Mammoth's founding team held senior positions across the Chinese agency market, including network leadership at Wavemaker. That relationship base becomes your route into the buying layer without headcount or entity setup.
02
You contract with Mammoth rather than with a fragmented set of Chinese advertisers and intermediaries, which resolves credit exposure, settlement risk and contracting overhead into a single relationship.
03
Campaigns are third-party served and independently verified through ReachMax, producing a measurement record the Chinese buyer can consume and you can stand behind.
04
Chinese outbound budget is largely additive rather than displacing existing demand, because it currently has no route to your inventory at all.
05
Creative arriving from Chinese advertisers is adapted before it reaches your inventory, protecting the user experience and editorial standards of your environment.
Compared
| Precedent | What happened | Why it matters here |
|---|---|---|
| Premium audio, sold into China | A member of the founding team launched a global streaming audio platform's China export advertising business and scaled it materially within six months | Direct evidence that a global premium audio platform can be sold into Chinese outbound demand when a China-side access layer exists |
| Consumer device export accounts | The team has run outbound media for two of the largest Chinese consumer-device advertisers of the past decade | Demonstrates operating experience at the scale outbound budgets actually reach |
| Wavemaker APAC | Gordan Domlija built and ran the WPP network's Asia Pacific agency business across more than a dozen markets | Establishes the agency-layer relationships that gate access to outbound budget |
| ReachMax / AddNewer | The founding team includes a founding member of China's largest third-party ad-serving platform | Places the verification and measurement capability inside the team rather than at the end of a vendor contract |

Next step
If you hold inventory that Chinese outbound advertisers would buy but currently have no consolidated route to, the useful first conversation is about what you have and what you require to sell it across the border.
