TAIPEI, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TNL Mediagene (Nasdaq: TNMG) (the “Company”), a Tokyo-based next-generation digital media and data group in Asia, today announced a strategic partnership with CMoney to integrate CMoney’s retail data assets into its subsidiary Ad2iction‘s Ad2 Network and AI-powered Ad2 AI Audience(AIA) solution, combining their respective strengths in media content and retail data to deepen audience insights in Taiwan and empower brand advertisers with more data-driven marketing decisions.
CMoney is Taiwan’s largest stock information and financial education platform, serving over 10 million active users each month. In recent years, CMoney has expanded into consumer lifestyle applications, building a comprehensive ecosystem of popular apps such as Smoney, a personal finance management app designed for tracking daily income and expenses, and Fantasy Invoice, Uniform Invoice Carrier, Collectively these apps reach more than four million users. CMoney processes more than 100 million e-invoice data entries per month across 120,000 retail locations nationwide, providing critical insights into online and offline consumer purchasing behavior, channel preferences, and spending trends— a key foundation for market and audience analysis.
The Ad2 Network operated by Ad2iction is a cross-media advertising platform that integrates premium content media resources and enables brands to achieve multi-platform exposure through unified data standards. Ad2 AIA solution is an AI-powered intelligent advertising strategy system that automates data analysis and campaign optimization, helping brands achieve more efficient and precise marketing performance.
By incorporating CMoney’s legally authorized and anonymized retail data into its Data Management Platform (DMP), the Company can apply these insights to Ad2iction‘s Ad2 AIA solution. The integration of rich online and offline data allows the Company to enhance existing audience models and connect user content browsing behavior across its media brands— such as interests in beauty, automobiles, and finance— with retail data, including purchase categories, channels, amounts, and timing. This comprehensive data framework supports full-funnel marketing analytics— from campaign planning and audience strategy to post-campaign reporting— delivering to advertisers a more efficient and cohesive precision marketing solution. Leveraging the analytical and learning capabilities of the AI agent, advertisers will be able to better understand consumer behavior, refine audience segmentation, and enhance campaign efficiency in an ever-changing marketplace.
This strategic partnership reinforces the Company’s ongoing development of AI analysis and data-driven applications. Integrating CMoney’s retail data marks a key milestone in advancing the Company’s data strategy, enabling the Ad2 AI Audience(AIA) solution to bridge online interests with verified offline purchasing data and thus enhance both the depth and commercial value of its datasets.
“From retail media networks (RMN) to AI agent solutions, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to driving marketing innovation through data and technology. This partnership with CMoney marks a significant deepening of our strategic capabilities within the AdTech landscape. By integrating our combined expertise in consumer data and analytical insights, we can more precisely capture audience profiles and the pulse of market trends. This allows us to further implement data-centric intelligent marketing strategies, delivering more efficient and forward-looking AdTech services to brands,” said Joey Chung, Co-Founder & CEO.
“CMoney’s core mission is to help people make better financial and lifestyle decisions. By partnering with a forward-looking media group like TNL Mediagene— combining its strong content influence with our data and AI analytics capabilities— we can extend the value of our data assets more effectively. We believe this collaboration will transform data into consumer-centric insights and services, maximizing value across brands, platforms, and consumers alike,” Roy Lai, GM of Talaria, a sub-brand of CMoney.
The Company and CMoney plan to further expand their data collaboration by applying consumer insights within the Ad2 AIA solution and jointly developing new innovative use cases. The Company will continue to place data empowerment at the core of its strategy, leading the evolution of AI-powered media and advertising technologies across Asia, and creating greater business value for partners and advertisers.
