Yoyi Digital, also known as YOYI TECH or Yoyi Technology, is a Beijing-based technology company founded in 2007 that builds an AI-driven omnichannel intelligent marketing platform. It offers a Three-Cloud Product Matrix—Advertising Cloud (OneDesk), Data Cloud (LinkFlow), and Marketing Cloud (Engage X)—enabling brands to integrate multi-channel data for precise targeting, real-time optimization, and data-driven growth across PC, mobile, OTT, DOOH, and more.[1][3][6] Serving 1000+ companies including global giants like Unilever, Audi, Toyota, Lenovo, China Mobile, and sectors such as FMCG, luxury, automotive, and industrial, it solves the problem of fragmented consumer data and inefficient advertising by providing programmatic buying (DSP), data management (DMP/CDP), audience insights, dynamic creatives, and cross-screen connectivity powered by proprietary AI and massive datasets (1.5B+ mobile IDs, 500M cookies).[2][3][5][6] With $60M total funding (including a $40M recent round and $20M D+ in 2022), strong revenue (~$29M), and acquisitions like LinkFlow, Yoyi demonstrates robust growth, holding patents in data management and leading China's multi-screen programmatic ad space.[1][4][7]
Yoyi Digital was founded in 2007 by CEO Roy Zhou, a digital advertising veteran with over 20 years of experience, including as Head of AdSense for Asia Pacific/Japan at Google, where he scaled the business to $1B from inception.[2][5] Zhou launched the company to transform marketing through data and technology, shifting display ads from media buying to audience buying via big data, recognizing the need for smarter, cross-device connectivity in China's booming digital landscape.[2][5] Early milestones include becoming China's first DSP and leading multi-screen programmatic platform, launching DataBank (China's first real-time DMP) in 2014, and "programmatic buying plus" in 2015.[2] The company evolved with a team expert in data science and machine learning, securing funding from Samsung Ventures and others, acquiring LinkFlow (a CDP leader) in 2022 alongside a $20M round, and expanding its AI Three-Cloud matrix to serve omnichannel needs.[1][3][7]
Yoyi rides the AI and big data wave in programmatic advertising, capitalizing on China's digital ad market growth amid rising omnichannel consumer behavior and CTV/OTT dominance.[3][5][6] Timing is ideal post-Internet revolution, with real-time data needs exploding; market forces like fragmented screens, privacy shifts, and e-commerce scale favor its DMP/CDP strengths, enabling precise audience buying over traditional media spends.[2][4] It influences the ecosystem by pioneering China's DSP/DMP standards, empowering 1000+ brands (domestic/global) with cross-border tools, and driving ad tech evolution toward AI-personalization—recently expanding globally via AI for international entrants.[1][7]
Yoyi's momentum—fueled by $60M funding, LinkFlow acquisition, and AI expansions—positions it to dominate China's $100B+ digital ad market and extend globally, especially aiding Western brands' China entry.[4][7] Upcoming trends like AIGC, household-level targeting, and O2O integration will amplify its edge, with potential for more M&A or IPO as omnichannel AI matures.[6][7] Its influence may evolve from China DSP leader to global AI marketing powerhouse, consistently innovating to "make advertising better" in a data-centric era.[1][5]
Yoyi Digital has raised $20.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $20.0M Series B in February 2011.
