Astro Media Solutions offers a comprehensive range of video advertising solutions designed to meet diverse marketing needs.

Astro led the way as the first to launch Addressable Advertising in Southeast Asia for TV, OTT and VOD delivering personalised and targeted advertising in a connected TV environment. Other mediums include IP sponsorships, digital video ads for online platforms and TV commercials.

In 2022, we launched our Addressable Advertising solutions for Astro TV, OTT, and VOD, marking a significant step forward in delivering personalised and targeted ads. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we deliver targeted ads to different households based on user profiles, interests and location to connect you to your target audience.

In this digital era, consumer behaviour is rapidly changing with new technologies. Attention spans are shorter, media consumption is fragmented, and time-shifted viewing is common. However, the power of storytelling remains constant. At Astro, we connect audience insights with compelling authentic stories to fuel engagement for effective marketing. It’s our secret sauce to help brands create engaging, relatable content and deliver it through innovative, seamless connections.

Astro’s signature shows, original IPs, live performances, sports and a variety of programmes have proven to deliver impactful engagement beyond reach. With Astro’s extensive ecosystem and strong expertise in content creation, brands can maximise the multi-screen impact of their video advertising campaigns via bespoke creative solutions combined with addressable advertising powered by first-party data., delivering higher view-through rates (VTRs) and greater marketing effectiveness.

With digital and streaming transforming viewing habits, we’ve seen a 135% increase in on-demand streaming over the past five years. Consumers today switch between screens, embracing time-shifted viewing.

At Astro, our Addressable TV – an audience-centric solution enables advertisers to tap into this trend, combining the precision of digital targeting capabilities with TV’s unparalleled power to persuade. This approach not only ensures we reach the right audience but also drives better relevancy for campaigns. By layering addressable CTV with traditional TV, we’ve seen audience performance improve by 4% to 16%, with brand lift studies showing an average 20 percentage point increase in consideration scores.

TV commercials and video ads come in many forms, such as a standard 30-second TVC, a 5-second unskippable pre-roll, or product placement within a TV programme. The key question is: what drives real impact for your brand? Effective cross-screening planning isn’t just about impressions; what matters most is the level of attention garnered and the depth of engagement generated, where both the stories and the brands that associate with them become part of popular culture and consumer conversations.

What brands are looking for is to leverage quality content that reflects and respects their brand values while resonating with their audience on a deeply emotional level. This is Astro’s lifeblood, it’s in our DNA. At Astro, we have many proven IPs that have moved the boundaries of consumer engagement, such as Astro Originals’ Projek: High Council, The Chosen One, Gegar Vaganza, TikTok Gimme The Mic Malaysia, Innovathon, Classic Golden Melody and The Great Resonance.

Our task at Astro is simple. As Malaysia’s biggest & most comprehensive content creator, our mission isn’t just to produce viral hits, but to build lasting relatable narratives that impact and inspire; narratives that foster long-term relationships between brands and customers.
