Poq Partners with AppsFlyer to Power More Effective Data-Driven App Commerce Decision Making

Leave a comment

Marketing analytics and attribution specialist integrates with leading app commerce software platform to help retailers unlock the power of mobile campaign data

LONDON, Jan. 14, 2021 — Native SaaS retail mobile app platform, Poq, today announces the beta launch of its standard integration with mobile analytics and attribution provider, AppsFlyer.

The integration is the result of a partnership between the two companies that will enable Poq mobile app clients to rapidly scale their app commerce marketing efforts and drive more effective customer acquisition and retention campaigns for their apps.

Developing, delivering and measuring app marketing campaigns can be challenging for retailers, where visibility of downloads and in-app interactivity attribution is limited. In addition, the ability to ‘deep link’ customers straight back into the app from any channel can be resource-intensive to maintain.

By integrating the AppsFlyer software development kit (SDK) onto the Poq platform, joint clients will gain greater insights into how their mobile apps are performing and driving growth, in comparison to other channels such as mobile web. Beyond measurement and attribution, the AppsFlyer platform is able to offer clients a number of other valuable features, such as ad fraud protection, audience management and uninstall attribution measurement.

Poq’s partnership with AppsFlyer comes at a vital time for retailers, where app shopping growth is forecast to outstrip web-based channels as a result of an accelerated shift to digital in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also comes as Poq released a number of complimentary ad-tech solutions last year that have allowed its clients to effectively run customer acquisition and retention campaigns on Apple Search Ads, Google App Campaigns and Facebook.

This standard platform integration will enable all Poq customers to use the AppsFlyer deep-linking solution (OneLink) and its Smart Banner Feature, as well as kickstart attribution campaigns. As retail mobile app marketing strategies develop in sophistication, Poq customers will also have the ability to add paid-for additional features to their pricing plan at any time.

Sheenu Aggarwal, App Marketing Specialist, Poq said: "AppsFlyer is a great partner and, like Poq, has proven success with a number of retailers globally. So, this partnership presents our clients with a massive opportunity to really grow their app commerce business and accurately attribute that success to their apps. The partnership we’re launching is vital for integrating what are becoming increasingly lucrative apps into the overall digital mix and optimising the customer journey for our retailers."

Russell Burden, Director of Partner Development, AppsFlyer added: With the retail industry changing rapidly, it’s never been more important for marketers to have the tools and data needed to make accurate, better-informed strategic decisions around their mobile marketing campaigns. Through this partnership, we’re able to offer just that, giving retailers the opportunity to quickly and easily get up and running with mobile marketing campaigns, attribution measurement and other insights."

All Poq customers will have access to the benefits and solution of this partnership from early 2021, following the beta launch. Please contact Poq to find out more.

Monkey Stories is the optimal solution for Indonesian parents with children aged 2-10, which helps their children learn English at home and comprehensively develop 4 skills of Listening – Speaking – Reading – Writing.

One of the limitations of children in non-English speaking countries when learning this language is insufficient exposure to the standardized English-speaking environment. As a consequence, children often encounter issues such as: incorrect pronunciation, slow listening and speaking reflexes, etc. Learning at language centers with native English speaking teachers is not favored by the majority due to high expenses, especially for families with many children.

The learning methods provided by ‘Monkey Stories’ address most of these concerns. All audios on the app are recorded by native speakers and assessed by leading US language experts. The cost of studying with Monkey Stories is always affordable for most families. Children can flexibly learn anytime, anywhere, on different devices such as phones, computers or tablets.

Monkey Stories has made a big change to the learning habits of children in South-East Asian countries such as Indonesia and Thailand. By creating a daily standardized English-focused environment. In addition, the Monkey Phonics module of Monkey Stories helps children practice English pronunciation from a young age. Thanks to the application of Phonics method that is popular in plenty of developed countries in the world such as US, Canada, Monkey Phonics is the first standardized English spelling learning program on mobile app for kids worldwide. In a short period of time, Monkey Phonics helps the children to be able to read new English words, even though they have never been taught those words. Ms. Dessy, a parent living in Bangkok, Thailand, said: "Even my child’s teacher was surprised because of his pronunciation improvement. After 2 months he has been able to speak longer sentences and become more confident in speaking English overall. I feel very assured."

In addition to Monkey Phonics, the Monkey Stories app has 3 other programs: Stories, Lessons & Audiobooks, which are conducted by American experts to help children develop comprehensively 4 skills of English, including Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. Each lesson of the programs was designed with vivid graphics and sound and interactive educational games that enable learning while playing. In addition to the huge collection of more than 1,000 stories, 300 lessons & 200 audiobooks which is categorized by grade to accommodate all children’s English levels, new free lessons are uploaded weekly. As a result, children get to acquire the most up-to-date and interesting knowledge. This is a feature that very few apps offer today. Mr. Ali, from Java Island, Indonesia, shared "Every week my children eagerly wait for the new stories on Monkey Stories. Since their first use of the app, my children have learned English diligently and voluntarily more than ever before."

‘Monkey Stories’ is an application that proudly helps children excel in English before the age of 10; the app is developed by Early Start, an English-software-for-children publishing company based in the U.S. Having been in the market for more than 6 years, with the Monkey brand, Early Start has won a number of international awards: First Prize of Global Innovation through Science and Technology in the US, First Prize of Design at Asian Entrepreneurship Award in Japan, Gold ICT Award in Brunei. Additionally, the company apps have, multiple times, been on the top-trending list on Play Store and App Store.

Blue Hat Announces Further Growth of Xunpusen Following Company’s Strategic Acquisition in 2020

Leave a comment

Subsidiary Reported RMB30 million (USD $4.5 million) in First Four Months; Expects Additional Contracts in Early 2021

XIAMEN, China, Jan. 4, 2021 — Blue Hat Interactive Entertainment Technology ("Blue Hat" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BHAT), a leading producer, developer and operator of augmented reality ("AR") interactive entertainment games, toys and educational materials in China, today announced that the Company’s operating subsidiary, Xunpusen Technology Co., Ltd. ("Xunpusen"), generated approximately RMB30 million (approximately USD $4.5 million) in revenue in the first four months of operation.

Since its acquisition earlier this year, the Company has continued to develop and utilize Xunpusen’s mobile marketing and hosting expertise to both support and grow Blue Hat’s traditional mobile and gaming business while seeking new channels to expand the Company’s customer base and leverage relationships. 

Xunpusen recently signed a cooperation agreement with China Mobile Communications Group Guangdong Co., Ltd. ("China Mobile") for a series of telecom value-added service and Internet Data Center ("IDC") contracts. IDC is a place to host a group of hosting enterprises, merchants, or web servers, an infrastructure on which models of e-commerce operate securely, and a platform to support businesses and their business alliances in implementing value chain management for their distributors, suppliers and customers.

Specifically, these IDC agreements can enable larger companies to promote and sell products using Xunpusen’s expertise in message marketing and integrated solutions. Following the agreement with China Mobile, both companies have worked to secure agreements from larger multi-national companies in addition to Blue Hat’s existing product portfolio.

The Company believes that Xunpusen’s contribution to revenue could potentially be in excess of RMB100 Million (USD $15.6 million) on an annualized basis.

Mr. Xiaodong Chen, CEO of Blue Hat, stated, "We are very pleased with the development of Xunpusen. Initially, our goal was to utilize direct marketing and sales techniques to further our relationships with larger companies and increase sales of Blue Hat’s core product portfolio. The deployment of 5G technology, coupled with the acceleration of mobile utilization throughout 2020 has also created opportunities in the internet data center business. We expect that the recent agreement with China Mobile will lead to further agreements due to the surge in data volume and the strong downstream demand. We will keep investors closely apprised of our progress."

The Acceleration of Digital Content Consumption in Indonesia

SINGAPORE, Dec. 23, 2020 — By Piyush Bhatia, Vice President – Asia Pacific, SHAREit

Piyush Bhatia, Vice President - Asia Pacific, SHAREit
Piyush Bhatia, Vice President – Asia Pacific, SHAREit

Covid and the ensuing lockdowns have indisputably had a direct and tremendous impact on global digital entertainment consumption. Digital consumption in 2020 has seen unprecedented heights. The recent e-Conomy report by Google, Temasek and Bain & Co suggests that 1 in 3 of all digital service consumers are new to the service because of COVID-19, and 94% of them intend to continue with the service. In Indonesia, the internet economy has reached US $44 billion despite the challenging situation in 2020, and it is supported by the online media which has grown by 24% since last year. On an average, Indonesians spend 4.7 hours online each day, and we are likely to see this trend continue in a similar pattern even after COVID-19 related mobility restrictions are eased.
