Introduction — Why BIGO Ads Matters Now
Short video and live-stream platforms continue to reshape global advertising. In 2024 the world's marketers spent roughly $1.1 trillion on ads, with digital channels taking the lion's share — a clear signal that brands must be where their audiences are. (DataReportal – Global Digital Insights)
BIGO Ads — the company behind apps such as Likee, imo — With large and quality traffic in Europe, North America, Japan, Southeast Asia, South America and other markets BIGO Ads substantial combined monthly active user (MAU) base across its product family—marked by a younger and highly engaged audience—has made BIGO Ads an increasingly attractive platform for advertisers.(pdf.dfcfw.com)
How BIGO Ads Compares to Other Platforms — A Quick Reality Check
● Versus TikTok: TikTok reaches massive global audiences but is often more competitive and expensive in some GEOs. BIGO Ads can be more cost-effective in specific emerging markets where it has strong penetration.
● Versus Facebook/Meta: Meta offers rich targeting and large reach, but in mobile-first younger segments BIGO Ads short-video and live inventory can outperform on engagement metrics for suitable creatives.
● Platform Strategy Takeaway: For brands targeting Southeast Asia, South Asia, and parts of the Middle East, BIGO Ads is a high-value channel — but it’s only accessible via authorized agencies for enterprise accounts.
The State of the Market — Why Speed & Compliance Matter
Global ad spend is at record levels and shifting toward digital formats. Industry forecasts for 2025 show digital ad spend will occupy for around three-quarters of total ad spend, and Southeast Asia remains one of the fastest-growing regions for digital advertising. Advertisers that can onboard quickly to regional platforms capture early inventory and often secure lower CPMs and higher ROI. (EMARKETER)
