Optimizing Your Ad Business: How Jorudan Increased eCPM by 10% with Pangle

Jorudan: Using technology to plan dream getaways

For anyone going on vacation, finding the cheapest, most convenient, and quickest route to get to their destination is always the most challenging part of planning that dream trip. This is especially true in Japan, which has notoriously complex train and subway systems, making the sheer number of travel options seemingly endless.

Founded in December 1979, Jorudan Co., Ltd. has focused on helping travelers effectively reach their destinations. Today, their route-finding service "Japan Transit Planner" has 3.51 million Monthly Active Users (MAU) and provides users with helpful information about all of Japan s various means of transit through their app.

Jorudan quickly recognized the opportunity to increase profits by implementing ads in their platform and app. Today, their ad business contributes 10% of the company s profit and continues to grow.

Privacy and cost performance: New challenges for the ad industry

While Jorudan experienced quick success with their ad program, the digital ad space is a fast-changing and competitive new industry that is constantly evolving. Staying on top of the latest trends is not as easy as one might think.

With the recent increased attention on protecting the user privacy in digital spaces, the traditional method of using Identifier For Advertising (IDFA) for ad optimization is becoming unreliable.

Jorudan saw the changes in the ad business industry coming, and realized they needed to find efficient ways to navigate this new landscape. Ideally they d find a partner that supports various ad formats and, more importantly, enable the use of the best cost-performing methods allowing them to expand further while being safeguarded on what s to come.
