Neither. AMG is a direct-buy digital advertising service that specializes in buying and managing campaigns targeting Asians living in the United States, including Chinese, Indian, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Japanese, Pakistani, Persian, and Arab communities.

Our direct-buying model—where we purchase inventory directly from known publishers rather than through exchanges or networks—lets AMG provide total transparency, an unmatched degree of quality control, and industry-leading conversion rates.

AMG has been focused exclusively on Asian American digital media since 2004—over 20 years. That singular focus has given us an intimate knowledge of every major Asian publisher, their audiences, and their most effective ad placements.

Unlike broad multicultural vendors, we don't spread ourselves thin across dozens of segments. We go deep in Asian endemic media, which is why our results consistently outperform what brands achieve through general multicultural buys.

Programmatic buying purports to use algorithms to replace media strategists who have knowledge of individual websites and audiences gained through years of campaign experience. But algorithms rely on keywords input by people with little working knowledge of the sites they purport to describe—especially in the Asian segment.

Worse, programmatic buys are entirely at the mercy of network tag placements made by countless unseen publishers and pseudo-publishers shielded from scrutiny by multiple layers of networks, exchanges, and DSPs.

AMG routinely achieves conversion rates 3–5× higher than direct buys and 5–10× higher than programmatic. The cost of AMG's consultative service is more than offset by the quality of results.

Not even the largest Asian publisher has access to a fraction of AMG's scale across all segments. When you buy from a single publisher, you get that publisher's audience only—with no ability to optimize across multiple placements.

AMG's ops team operates 24/7 to enforce premium placement and highest-performing units on each site. Our continuous optimization process shifts impressions among sites for the best possible results—a procedure not possible with publisher direct buys.

Programmatic buying consistently costs more on an ROI basis than AMG's consultative buying and management service—especially when you factor in the hours that programmatic buying demands of your media team.

The most important advantage is AMG's ability to deliver the sweet spot of the target segment: consumers with the means to buy and the status to influence others. When you compare cost per meaningful conversion, AMG wins decisively.

We start with a strategy conversation to understand your KPIs, target segments, geographies, and creative. Our strategists then build a custom sitelist of publishers tailored to your campaign goals.

You review and approve the sitelist before anything runs. Once launched, our ops team monitors and optimizes 24/7, shifting impressions toward the best-performing placements in real time. You receive transparent reporting throughout.

AMG supports standard display, high-impact units, native advertising, and video formats across our publisher network. Our publisher relationships give us access to cost-effective high-impact placements that often outperform standard units on an ROI basis—sometimes by multiples.

We'll recommend the best format mix based on your campaign goals and the publishers in your sitelist.

AMG reaches all major Asian American communities, including Chinese, Indian, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Japanese, Pakistani, Persian, and Arab. We also serve Middle Eastern and African American segments.

Each community is served through publishers that community actually reads and trusts—not through algorithmic proxies or broad demographic guesses.

Yes. AMG has detailed knowledge of each Asian population segment's precise geographical distribution across the U.S. and Canada. We can target major metros, specific DMAs, or custom geographic boundaries—with geo-blocking to prevent wasted impressions outside your target markets.

AMG reaches over 28 million U.S. and Canadian Asian consumers across our network of premium endemic publishers. This represents the largest quality-enforced Asian digital media network available from a single partner.

Yes. CCPA compliance is built into every AMG campaign. Our daily direct interaction with each publisher's ops team allows us to ensure 100% brand-safe and CCPA-compliant delivery across the entire network—with zero compliance risk for your brand.

Because AMG buys only from a curated list of known, respected publishers—publishers you approve before the campaign runs—brand safety is inherent to our model. We don't buy from exchanges or DSPs where your ad might appear next to unknown, low-quality, or brand-unsafe content.

We also run continuous fraud monitoring and geo-blocking to ensure your impressions reach real consumers in your target markets.

To get started, it helps to have a sense of your target audience (which Asian communities, which geographies), your campaign KPIs (brand awareness, site visits, conversions), your timeline, and your approximate budget range.

If you don't have all of that figured out yet, that's fine—our strategists are happy to help you think it through. Just reach out and we'll take it from there.

Minimum budgets vary by campaign scope and segment mix. Contact us directly and we'll discuss what's realistic for your goals—we're happy to be straightforward about whether AMG is the right fit for your budget and objectives.
