To perform consistently and at the highest level in the sport of golf requires skill, talent and above all, commitment — attributes that Ko and Park possess in spades. LG SIGNATURE leverages these same qualities to produce its peerless products, which are coveted by consumers worldwide for their unparalleled quality, functionality, and style. The ideal ambassadors for LG SIGNATURE, Park and Ko share the brand’s unquenchable desire, and proven ability, to deliver the very best.

Ko Jin-young shares the focus and drive common to all professional golfers, but her style of play is distinctly her own. A huge part of Ko’s success is her meticulous preparation, and a finely honed ability to tune out all distractions whilst out on the course. After picking up her first professional victory at the 2018 ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open, Ko went on to secure two LPGA majors the very next year: the 2019 ANA Inspiration and the 2019 Evian Championship, the latter of which is sponsored by LG SIGNATURE.

"Every course plays differently and there are so many variables to consider with each putt and each drive, which is why technique and consistency are so crucial," said Ko. "Patience, discipline, and above all, preparation — both physical and mental — are what allow me to repeat my swing and get the results I expect and demand of myself."

Famous for her majestically long drives, Park Sung-hyun has an instantly-recognizable swing that combines power and artistic grace in equal measure. Her distinctive technique generates incredible club head speed, sending the ball soaring far and high with a rhythmic precision that is immensely satisfying to watch. Park made her professional debut in 2017, outperforming more experienced players to capture her first LPGA major title, the 2017 U.S. Women’s Open Golf Championship.

"I like to think of golf as a form of art and I believe that comes across in my style of play," said Park. "Although skill and practice are obviously important to how you perform on the greens and fairways, so is creativity, and that’s where I feel I have an advantage."

Two of golf’s finest, Park and Ko embody the LG SIGNATURE commitment to excellence. The artistry and flawless technique they display at the world’s most prestigious golf courses is an apt metaphor for the beautiful aesthetics and advanced technology so elegantly intertwined in the brand’s immaculate appliances.

"All of our LG SIGNATURE ambassadors are the best in their chosen fields, and we are thrilled to unite with them to showcase what it means to be a master of one’s craft," said Kim Jin-hong, head of LG’s Global Marketing Center. "Reaching consumers around the globe, this digital campaign is a perfect way to communicate our brand philosophy and celebrate the skill and effort it takes to achieve true greatness."

iClick Interactive and Tencent International Business Group Announce Strategic Collaboration on Smart Solutions in Key APAC Markets

Leave a comment

Both Join Hands to Co-Develop SaaS-based “Smart Retail” and “Smart Travel” Solutions, and Promote “Smart Conference” via Tencent Cloud Conference solutions

HONG KONG, Oct. 6, 2020 — iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited ("iClick" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ICLK), an independent online marketing and enterprise data solutions provider in China, today announced that it will co-develop "Smart Retail" and "Smart Travel" SaaS solutions with Tencent International Business Group ("Tencent IBG"). The new solutions will initially be available in Hong Kong, South Korea and Thailand, followed by further expansion to additional APAC countries in the future. Moreover, iClick will also leverage its strong multinational clients’ coverage worldwide to advocate "Smart Conference" powered by Tencent Cloud Conference (TCC) solutions.

The innovative SaaS-based offerings are part of iClick’s newly developed Enterprise Solutions, integrating Tencent Cloud’s AI, chatbot and facial recognition technology to empower the rapidly-developing WeChat Mini Programs. Leveraging iClick’s unparalleled data capability with coverage of 98% of Internet users in China and pioneer experience in providing SaaS-based solutions for the retail and travel industries, as well as Tencent’s enormous ecosystem and advanced technologies, the new solution will empower brands to create more business opportunities through comprehensive consumer intelligence and help them grow in international markets more efficiently. iClick’s tailor-made SaaS solutions are particularly suited to realizing the huge market potential of the international retail and travel sectors. In these highly competitive industries, SaaS solutions provide a powerful way for overseas marketers to reach the massive number of Chinese outbound consumers and allow brands to super-charge their crucial customer loyalty programs.

As part of the strategic collaboration, iClick will also leverage its extensive customer base to provide and serve clients with smart conferencing solutions through secure and seamless Tencent Cloud Conference. Built on Tencent Cloud’s cutting-edge technology and experience gained from serving myriads of customers in the past, Tencent Cloud Conference can be widely used in business conferences, annual meetings, road shows, lectures, industry forums, among others. Through face recognition, electronic business card, simultaneous interpretation, live video and other technologies, it brings efficient organization to customers’ conference, and brings online, digital, and paperless experience.

"iClick’s new generation of intelligent SaaS solutions is a game changer for the international travel and retail industries," said Frankie Ho, President of International Business, iClick Interactive. "Working with Tencent IBG as their overseas Platinum Partner, iClick’s SaaS-based smart initiative is a testament to how we are able to generate synergies through our respective strengths. Together with our collaboration to promote ‘Smart Conference’, all these offerings will bring our clients a revolutionary new tool to strengthen brand awareness across the region, reflecting iClick’s international market expansion strategy which differentiates our competitive position compared to our peers.

"Currently available in Hong Kong, South Korea and Thailand, we are confident that this initiative will see strong market acceptance and subsequently expand to other APAC countries. This also affirms our conviction in the substantial upside potential of our Enterprise Solutions, based on our business’s scalability and cross-border capabilities. In particular, throughout the global COVID-19 pandemic, we have gained recognition from clients, especially in challenging industries such as travel and retail, for proactively helping them navigate the macroeconomic uncertainties and prepare for the recovery period."

This is the first initiative iClick and Tencent have collaborated on following iClick being named Tencent IBG’s Platinum Partner, with the promise of more cooperative opportunities in the future. As part of the launch, iClick will also accelerate promotion of its Marketing Solutions in Asia as the Company continues its evolution into a fully integrated marketing and enterprise cloud platform.
