At the same time, the company further increased its R&D spend in the domestic market.

With massive, structured data that spans a meaningful period of time and supports real-time interactions, marketing technology firms can better test, build and improve their algorithm models while delivering outstanding marketing services, and by doing so, enhance the quality of services.

Being a technology company that provides performance-based marketing services and boosts consumption across platforms through data analysis and algorithm capabilities, Joy Spreader expects to continuously optimize its automatic transaction matchmaking system and related technology platform, allowing the system to better facilitate transactions by accurately matching products from clients with covered marketing points on mobile new media platforms via precision analysis of products and mobile new media content as well as through structured processing of information.

Going forward, Joy Spreader plans to continue strengthening its competence in key technologies in a move to improve the quality of services while enhancing competitiveness by fully exerting the potential of data assets, with the aim of further consolidating its leadership in the industry and assuring the long-term growth of the company by virtue of innovative, premium services.
