With Socialbakers, Shopee is Taking a Data-First Approach to Digital Campaign Management

Leave a comment

Southeast Asia’s leading e-commerce platform is leveraging AI to deepen engagement with users across Southeast Asia and Taiwan

SINGAPORE, Aug. 4, 2020 — Socialbakers, the leading unified platform for social media marketing, today announced how its partnership with Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, is driving engagement on Shopee’s social media platforms to new heights. Leveraging Socialbakers’ Content Hub, automated content labelling, and personalised dashboards, Shopee has not only improved operational efficiency and performance measurement, but also heavily influenced the number of conversions in the process.

Shopee is the number one shopping app in Southeast Asia, according to App Annie. It has captured the hearts and minds of consumers through a strong understanding of the region and well-executed localised strategies. Getting to its monolithic status today involved putting audience engagement at the centre of their strategy, allowing them to stand out in the industry and build unique relationships with their extensive user base in each market.

Executing this strategy required a robust end-to-end workflow. Starting from content creation to execution and finally reporting of results, Shopee’s large social media presence requires a reliable platform for effective cross-channel analysis. By working with Socialbakers and utilising Content Hub, Shopee is also able to execute post-performance analysis of social media campaigns more effectively.

Establishing their entire content management workflow in the Socialbakers Suite has given Shopee the capability to digest data, learn from it and generate content performance analysis that goes beyond traditional engagement metrics. As a result, Shopee is now experiencing improved operational efficiency and insight generation to drive audience engagement.

Agatha Soh, Head of Regional Marketing at Shopee said, "Shopee was built to cater to local needs and fulfill the increased need for engagement and social interaction. Users have always been at the core of our community building and engagement strategies. We closely monitor the latest trends and industry movements to deliver content that our users enjoy. Socialbakers’ strong suite of tools helps us to effectively optimise our data-driven approach to consumer engagement, enabling us to serve our users in the best way possible. We look forward to a continued partnership with Socialbakers."

"Shopee is the perfect example of a brand that understands the importance of great content when it comes to driving engagement on social media," said Charles Tidswell, Vice President JAPAC at Socialbakers. "By establishing their entire content management workflow in the Socialbakers Content Hub, Shopee has not only improved operational efficiency and performance measurement, but also heavily influenced the number of conversions in the process. Shopee’s audience-first approach to social media enables them to stand out in the industry and build unique customer relationships."

Banggood Records Outstanding Results From 2020 Summer Prime Sale

Leave a comment

GUANGZHOU, China, Aug. 3, 2020 — Banggood, a leading cross-border e-commerce retailer, has wrapped up its highly successful ‘Restart a Good Life’ Summer Prime Sale, the platform’s first large-scale promotion event of the year.

The sale kicked off on July 3 and ran through to July 26, with the best discounts and deals culminating between July 21 and 24. During this 72-hour period, Banggood recorded more than USD 10 million in sales in the first hour alone, and sales volume surpassed the same day last year in just 12 hours.

"We are thrilled with the phenomenal growth achieved during this year’s Summer Prime Sale. It truly highlights the advantages and benefits of online shopping in the wake of the pandemic, and reinforces the platform as the best choice for consumers to shop at home," said Aaron Chen, CEO of Banggood.

The year-on-year sales increase was driven by significant consumer demand from users in the European and Asia-Pacific regions. Australia recorded the highest surge in sales growth during the Summer Prime Sale with an increase of 120% year-on-year, followed by Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Household Appliances, Computers, and Phones & Telecommunication were the most popular products and saw 514% growth year-on-year, as a result of the growing number of people working from home.

Banggood also witnessed a significant uptick in orders for home fitness equipment and personal transportation products, particularly from users in France, Spain and Italy. With the gradual relaxation of border restrictions in the region and heightened caution of public transportation, a large number of consumers have opted for bicycles or electric bikes as their preferred mode of transport.

In addition to coupons and discounts, Banggood leveraged the growing trend of live streaming and social e-commerce with Banggood LIVESTREAM, a 72-hour time-limited live-streaming session featuring 14 influencers from around the world, with viewers from Brazil, Canada and England ranking first for the number of livestream views.

World’s fastest-growing brand licensing solution celebrates London office, new clients

LONDON, Aug. 3, 2020 — Leading licensing relationship management technology platform, Flowhaven, has announced a new office in London and the expansion of its U.K. client roster. The new office brings Flowhaven closer to its clients in the region and is the latest achievement in a year of rapid company growth.

Built on Salesforce, the world’s CRM, Flowhaven provides a centralized, end-to-end solution that helps companies manage and scale their brand licensing programs.

In January, Flowhaven expanded beyond its Helsinki headquarters with an office in Los Angeles. The move cemented the company’s status as a key player in the licensing industry’s digital evolution. The new London office will seat Jeremy Robinson, head of sales, EMEA, and his powerhouse team.

"The UK is Europe’s largest licensing market. The country is home to the international offices of most US brands and has a vast number of domestic brands that continue to grow and perform extremely well," says Kalle Torma, CEO and founder.

"The continued growth we are seeing in our client base made the decision to open a standalone office in the UK an easy choice," says Jeremy Robinson. "From there I am perfectly placed to be able to work alongside the UK team and customers, as well as liaise with and travel to colleagues and prospects in other locations. The rapid pace of development we are seeing in our customer base and system capabilities are a fantastic combination and I am very excited by the discussions we are having, and the continued future development for Flowhaven"

Recent customer signing Games Workshop Group PLC joins a growing number of clients in the U.K. including Full Colour Black, whose portfolio includes Banksy street art; Lisle Licensing, who represents Tetris, Masha and the Bear, 44 Cats; Licensing Link Europe whose clients include Build-A-Bear Workshop, Van Gogh Museum as well as Pantone and; more.

At the end of last year, Flowhaven closed a $5.2 million (€4.75 million) seed round of financing. Global Founders Capital led the investment round with participation from existing investors including Icebreaker.vc. Following the round, Flowhaven entered a portfolio of investments that includes Facebook, Slack, Trivago, Canva, Eventbrite, and more. The company has also grown to more than 30 team members across its permanent and satellite locations, tripling in size year over year.

Leave a comment

Will showcase technology at DisplayWeek 2020

MANCHESTER, England, Aug. 3, 2020 — SmartKem the global leader in application specific organic materials for OTFT (Organic Thin Film Transistor) backplanes, today announced that the company has built backlight prototypes for full array local dimming (FALD) aimed at TV, Monitors and Signage applications.

OTFTs using SmartKem materials can be used to manufacture active matrix backplanes, driving arrays of thousands of individual mini-LEDs on a substrate, thereby delivering impressive high resolution images with perfect black levels. The ability to locally dim the backlight to only the areas that require it can also help to save energy, making FALD LED TVs more efficient in operation.

"Our mini-LED backlight prototype has caught the attention of the market," said Ian Jenks, Chairman and CEO of SmartKem Ltd. "We have best-in-class OTFT materials, suited for a variety of applications ranging from Electrophoretic, LCD, MicroLED and OLED displays."

SmartKem’s approach in developing the organic semiconductor formulations was to design a series of high mobility polycrystalline small molecule(s) that are combined with matched, high permittivity semiconducting oligomer(s). The resultant OTFT devices have industry best performance and can be built using standard production equipment in existing factories.

SmartKem will showcase its technology at the DisplayWeek 2020 symposium and exhibition during August 3 – 7, 2020.

About SmartKem

SmartKem is the global leader in application specific organic materials for organic thin-film transistors (OTFT) backplanes compatible with industry-standard production. SmartKem focuses on the design, development, industrialization, and technology transfer of low temp, solution-deposited organic semiconductors for transistor backplanes.
