We’re always looking at more and more ways to help marketers and businesses, publishers, and of course, influencers, to unlock new value in what they do. We’ve got a hattrick of case studies, some new leadership appointments, and expert insights across running a business, mobile marketing in Thailand and tackling the Cambodian market.
The past month also saw the launch of D2C for Enterprise, an offering that provides businesses of all sizes with various tools and resources to accelerate e-commerce and D2C growth.
Additionally, in a bid to help influencers showcase their own brand and products, we launched PopBox, an online retail store for influencer products, in Thailand and Japan, with further planned launches across Asia coming in the year ahead.

Consumers can now easily shop influencer brands and products!
PopBox is an online retail store for influencers to showcase and sell their own brand and products, whilst enabling consumers to discover and purchase a variety of products from influencer brands.
Ultimately, we’re looking to create a D2C retail ecosystem for influencers and creators by connecting our suite of products to PopBox, and enable influencer merchants to navigate traditional barriers in online retail, including overcoming the need of holding product inventory and simplifying the management of product orders.

We’ve got two publisher case studies this month from Japan.
