John Pradithavanij, Managing Director, Thailand at ​​Xaxis added: “This is an incredibly exciting time for the DOOH market in Thailand. We look forward to collaborating with partners such as Hivestack among others to leverage their programmatic technology and to offer our clients a way to precisely engage audiences outside of the home across the country.
