Advertisers are reassessing the value of social media and their reliance on it. The spread of misinformation has grown to a serious concern, prompting them to seek out alternatives that could offer both rich mobile data as well as scale. Carousell, the Singapore-based online marketplace for secondhand goods, thinks it can fill the void. The newly formed Carousell Media Group is combining its different platforms, and the first-party data contained therein, managing director JJ Eastwood told KrASIA in a recent interview. The firm is so able to resolve concerns with a "one-stop ad solution."
