Growth Opportunities

The Telco Digital Advertising Market is rich with opportunities, especially as telecom players continue to diversify revenue streams and capitalize on their access to vast datasets and consumer touchpoints.

1. Monetizing First-Party Data at Scale

Telecom operators have an edge over traditional ad platforms due to their access to authenticated, first-party user data. By creating privacy-compliant data marketplaces or partnering with demand-side platforms (DSPs), telcos can monetize this data to offer highly targeted and valuable ad inventory.

2. Growth of Mobile and 5G Advertising

As mobile consumption grows and 5G rolls out globally, telcos can deliver immersive, high-resolution ads—particularly video and AR-based formats—without latency issues. 5G also enables dynamic ad insertion in real-time, creating high engagement opportunities in mobile gaming, streaming, and live events.

3. Expansion into OTT and CTV Advertising

The rise of OTT and Connected TV (CTV) provides telcos with new ad inventory. Many telcos are bundling OTT services or launching proprietary content platforms. Leveraging these channels for ad monetization—either through partnerships or proprietary ad tech—presents a high-margin growth path.

4. Vertical Integration with Ad Tech Ecosystems

By acquiring or building Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs), Supply-Side Platforms (SSPs), or Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), telcos can offer end-to-end advertising solutions. Vertical integration allows telecom companies to retain more revenue within the advertising value chain.

5. Targeting SMEs and Local Advertisers

Local businesses and SMEs often seek hyper-local, performance-based digital advertising. Telcos, with their regional infrastructure and subscriber base, are well-positioned to offer targeted advertising packages for local markets, especially through self-serve ad platforms.
