TNL Mediagene and PChome Forge Strategic Alliance to Accelerate Content Commerce and Reshape Taiwan's Retail Media Landscape

Following TNL Mediagene's successful listing on Nasdaq, this collaboration underscores the company's commitment to expanding its business promotion landscape through innovation. With PChome 24h Shopping and PChome Online recognized as pioneers of Taiwan's e-commerce evolution, the partnership will leverage the powerful media assets under the group's umbrella – including The News Lens, INSIDE, Sport Vision, Cool3C etc., to boost content commerce initiatives. The collaboration will utilize diverse content formats, narrative techniques, and interactive elements such as call-to-action buttons, hyperlinks, and exclusive discount codes to attract consumer interest and drive purchases.

TNL Mediagene's subsidiary, Mediagene Inc., which operates as one of Japan's leading native digital media companies, achieved excellent results in content commerce across multiple platforms and suppliers in Japan. The group is now actively extending these successful strategies into the Taiwan market.

Integrating Technology and Expertise to build a highly efficient collaboration model

In this collaboration, TNL Mediagene will execute an end-to-end strategy encompassing planning, execution, optimization, and measurement. Utilizing a scientifically driven tech system, the group aims to ensure the quality, traffic, and conversion effectiveness of marketing content.

• Planning: By analyzing the characteristics of different product categories and the timing of campaign events, the team will develop tailored media and content strategies (for example, designing dedicated themes to captivate young consumers for technology products).
• Execution & Optimization: Efforts in these stages will focus on enhancing content reach and driving sales performance. Adjustments in content formats will be made to attract increased attention, while system-driven data will continuously optimize the process.
• Measurement: The success of these initiatives will be gauged by conversion outcomes. A technology platform will track and analyze marketing results comprehensively to ensure a precise response to market demands.

The campaign intends to promote home appliances and PC-related products through flagship news and technology media such as TNL, INSIDE, and Cool3C. Meanwhile, sports, leisure, and lifestyle products will be featured via channels including Sport Vision, the international Chinese edition of Roomie, and every little d., leveraging each media brand's content strengths and data analytics to boost conversion performance.

Committed to the principle of "Brandformance"—a marketing strategy that enhances brand equity while delivering measurable results—TNL Mediagene fuses media credibility, strategic storytelling, and robust data insights. This dual-focus approach drives both awareness and action, ensuring marketing not only reaches audiences but also converts them. In collaboration with PChome, this philosophy will guide the creation of diversified, high-impact media strategies.

CEO and Co-Founder Joey Chung commented, "Content commerce is not only an innovative model that blends media with business but also an essential element of the retail media ecosystem. We are honored to partner with a key player like PChome to seamlessly integrate high-quality content with e-commerce, delivering a more engaging shopping experience for consumers."
