What is the LINE Ads Platform?The LINE Ads Platform is a performance-based ad platform for services related to the LINE chat app operated by LINE Corporation. The service went into full-scale operation in June 2016 when it started distributing ads to the LINE Timeline and LINE NEWS. Since its launch,it has been used by approximately 3,000 businesses and brands (as of the end of September 2017)and LINE Manga was added as an ad space in October 2017.

Advertisers use a special admin panel to set the details (including budget,time period,user attributes,and creatives)and make bids,and the LINE Ads Platform system chooses an ad and shows it to users. By switching to a performance-based ad system,many more businesses are now able to post ads,which they were previously unable to due to limitations on the numbers of slots,or for budgetary reasons. Further,since advertisers can monitor their ad displays,their effects,and other details as they operate their ads,they can conduct promotions with limited budgets and distribute ads to fit sales prospects,goal achievement rates,and more.
