A Media Planner's View: Where to Place
Use Matichon to reach informed Thai readers who follow news, the economy and public affairs. Print display suits announcements, property launches and corporate messages, while the economy pages are the natural home for finance and investor-facing content.
The website and social channels, including video, add reach between print days. Our team sequences print and digital around your launch dates and prepares Thai creative so the message reads naturally.
Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here
Matichon is a long-running Thai national daily known for hard news and serious reporting. For property, finance, education, travel and premium brands entering Thailand, it puts the message in front of engaged readers who follow the economy and public affairs.
How we would use it. We would use print display in the daily around the news and economy pages, then run digital placements on the website and social formats to extend reach. Creative is best in Thai for the Thai audience, with English versions available for international and investor-facing messages.
Our guidance. Thai readers respond best to creative written natively, so our team handles Thai adaptation as part of the plan rather than translating late in the process.
How We Would Run Your Matichon Campaign
We start with the audience you need to reach, whether that is investors, business owners or high-net-worth families, and work back to the title, section and edition that put you in front of them. The schedule follows from that.
The rest is ours to handle: creative adapted for Thai creative; English available, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
