Inmobi launches self-serve Buyer Hub for smarter ad campaign planning
MUMBAI: Say goodbye to scattergun media planning and hello to laser-sharp precision. Inmobi Advertising has launched Inmobi Buyer Hub, a self-serve, AI-powered platform that hands the reins to media buyers empowering them to plan, curate, and purchase programmatic deals with speed, clarity, and control.
Designed for everyone from agencies and DSPs to curators and retail media networks, the Buyer Hub signals a major shift in how programmatic advertising can be both simplified and supercharged. The platform leverages agentic AI to help create high-quality, curated deal IDs fast-tracking what used to be a multi-step headache into a single, seamless process.
Gone are the days of cluttered bidstreams and guesswork-driven ad buys. “The Buyer Hub’s focus on sell-side curation removes the need for a broad, unfocused approach,” said Inmobi Advertising chief business officer Kunal Nagpal. “Reducing noise and increasing signal quality means better win rates, stronger campaign results, and smarter media spends.”
Leading data curators like Audigent, @curate, Givsly, and Antipodes are already plugged into the hub, expanding their audience intelligence and improving targeting precision across the open web. “Today’s buyers need simplicity and trustworthy signals,” added Experian Marketing Services CBO Chris Feo. “This platform helps turn more impressions into working media.”
Buyers can also integrate their own first-party data with Inmobi’s proprietary SDK and contextual user signals safely and in compliance with data privacy standards. The result? Real-time campaign optimisation, sharper targeting, and a cleaner, faster supply path to the right eyeballs.
The platform isn’t just about transparency, it’s also about agility. With a real-time feedback loop on performance and audience engagement, buyers can adjust campaigns on the fly and ensure that every rupee spent is working smarter, not harder.
As @curate co-founder Rhys Denny summed it up, “The future of programmatic isn’t about more noise, it’s about more signal.”
With the InMobi Buyer Hub now live and a beta programme for brands and agencies kicking off this spring, the mobile-first giant is making it clear: the next wave of programmatic performance won’t be dictated by guesswork, it’ll be curated, calculated, and powered by precision.
