Society Pass (SoPa) Marks First Foray into Thailand by Acquiring Bangkok-Headquartered Thoughtful Media Group, Southeast Asia’s Leading Digital Video Multi-Platform Network and Social Commerce Platform

SINGAPORE, Jul 11, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Society Pass Incorporated ("SoPa" or "Society Pass") (Nasdaq: SOPA), Southeast Asia's leading data-driven loyalty platform, today announces the acquisition of Thoughtful Media Group ("Thoughtful Media"), a social commerce-focused, premium digital video MPN headquartered in Thailand with an operating presence in the US, Vietnam, and Philippines. The acquisition of Thoughtful Media marks SoPa's first foray into Thailand and adds to SoPa's growing ecosystem of technology-enabled companies located in the SEA countries of Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.

Originally founded in 2010, Thoughtful Media today creates and distributes digital advertising campaigns across its MPN in both SEA and the US. With its intimate knowledge of local markets, digital marketing technology tools and social commerce business focus, advertisers leverage Thoughtful Media's wide influencer network throughout SEA to market and sell advertising inventory exclusively with specific placement and effect. As a result, Thoughtful Media's content creator partners earn a larger share of advertising revenues from international consumer brands. And according to Accenture, the social commerce market is poised to grow to US$1.2 trillion by 2025 at a CAGR of 26%.

Thoughtful Media recorded revenues of US$5.8 million in 2021. Since its founding, Thoughtful Media's data-rich MPN has uploaded over 675,000 videos with over 80 billion video views.

Thoughtful Media's social commerce platform amplifies the reach and engagement of SoPa's e-commerce ecosystem and retail partners. The growing ubiquity of social media influencers on shaping purchase decisions has driven increasingly greater numbers of brands to shift advertising budgets to this dynamic outlet. SoPa aims to increase customer engagement whilst also focusing on the quality of relationships through a campaign-based approach enabled by this synergistic acquisition.

Thoughtful Media's digital advertising tools and expertise bolsters Society Points, SoPa's paradigm shifting loyalty platform. Through data-driven marketing campaigns, advertisers of all types utilise Society Points' proprietary 1st party data to improve the targeting, efficacy, and efficiency of their digital marketing spend. SoPa's product offering uniquely positions Thoughtful Media as a leading SEA retail marketing and advertising hub for international and regional consumer brands.

Dennis Nguyen, Society Pass Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer comments, "We are thrilled to have Thoughtful Media join the ever-expanding SoPa ecosystem. Thoughtful Media's social commerce-focused business model perfectly complements our future growth strategy for Society Pass as we drive consumer eyeballs and generate revenues for riveting consumer brands throughout Southeast Asia. In addition, Society Pass is excited to complete our first Thailand acquisition and look forward to launching our SoPa loyalty platform to the 65 million consumers in Thailand".

Dan Thorman, Thoughtful Media Chief Executive Officer explains, "Thoughtful Media is led by an experienced management team in SEA and the US. We provide media owners with content creation and technology services that build and monetise their brands' audience on numerous social platforms. With years of on-the-ground experience and industry expertise in developing influencer talent, producing social media content, coordinating advertising campaigns, aggregating influencer data, and onboarding millions of viewers onto our data-rich MPN, we track hundreds of millions of authenticated global video views a month across key social media platforms. Partnering with Society Pass allows Thoughtful Media to unlock strategic opportunities with influencers and advertisers as well as design cross-marketing synergies for companies in the SoPa ecosystem. In doing so, we expect to drive tremendous revenue growth in 2022 and beyond".

HKTDC launches brand-new exhibition model EXHIBITION+

HONG KONG, Jun 28, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – International trade fairs and sourcing modes have seen dramatic changes in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the organisers of many physical exhibitions and seminars taking a new digitised or hybrid path. To assist enterprises in adapting to the new normal, and help them stay closely connected to international buyers, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is launching the brand-new hybrid exhibition model EXHIBITION+ to strengthen its exhibition platform. Meanwhile, the HKTDC International Sourcing Show runs from 5 to 8 July at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Exhibitors and buyers at the event will be among the first to enjoy the smart business-matching platform, Click2Match, to actively assist them in seizing business opportunities.

HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Sophia Chong introduced the newly launched exhibition model EXHIBITION+ at a press briefing today, while Zuri Jewelry Company Ltd Director Victor Yiu (L) and Chit Tat Clock & Watch Co Ltd General Manager Philip Lau (R) shared their successful experiences using the Click2Match platform.

The physical HKTDC International Sourcing Show will run at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 5 to 8 July. Exhibitors and buyers can use the smart business-matching platform, Click2Match, from 5 to 15 July to connect with global buyers. The photo shows the 2021 HKTDC Lifestyle Sourcing Show.

HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Sophia Chong said: "The pandemic has had a tremendous impact on Hong Kong's economy and particularly on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Amid the ongoing pandemic and geopolitical tensions, many enterprises have sought support from policies and aid packages to help them ride out the storm. From March 2020, the HKTDC adjusted quickly to the new reality, moving its various physical fairs, large-scale seminars and business-matching meetings to online platforms, striving to continue connecting local businesses with international buyers and offering various kinds of support. Now, the Council is launching EXHIBITION+ to help enterprises get better familiarised with digital platforms and capture online-to-offline international opportunities around the clock."

More than 90% of buyers have used online sourcing platforms

According to a recent buyer survey conducted by the HKTDC, which interviewed 600 international buyers from Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, Australia, Europe, Mainland China and the United States, most respondents (93%) had used online sourcing platforms, and over 85% had participated in virtual fairs to meet their sourcing needs. The majority of respondents said they would be willing to conduct sourcing through physical fairs (63%) or hybrid fairs (59%) once travel restrictions are lifted. The survey findings revealed that in the future, physical and online-to-offline integrated fairs could complement each other. (Key survey findings are shown in the appendix below.)

EXHIBITION+ reinvents trade fairs to serve businesses anytime, anywhere

EXHIBITION+ comprises four key exhibition elements, including HKTDC-organised physical fairs, the smart business-matching platform Click2Match, online-to-offline seminars under the Intelligence Hub, and the hktdc.com Sourcing platform, to provide round-the-clock services that boost the flexibility and effectiveness of business promotion for SMEs and offer benefits such as extended fair periods, expanded platforms and enhanced opportunities. EXHIBITION+ extends face-to-face interactions from physical exhibitions to an online smart business-matching platform to help enterprises connect with business partners proactively. As always, the HKTDC's 50 global offices will actively recruit international buyers, while its business-matching specialists will match suitable exhibitors according to buyers' sourcing demands, and arrange online and offline meetings to facilitate business cooperation.

Experience a unique business journey

With EXHIBITION+, exhibitors can start displaying their products to buyers on the fair website one month before the physical fair, while buyers can browse for products and shortlist exhibitors. One week before the physical fair, both buyers and exhibitors can actively search for business targets through the Click2Match platform, check out AI-recommended leads and send meeting requests. During the physical fair, they can meet at the fairground or online via Click2Match, while further online meetings can be scheduled and conducted up to one week after the fair. Exhibitors can still receive sourcing enquiries from buyers up to one month after the fair.

Click2Match connects suppliers with global buyers in a click

Smart business-matching platform Click2Match is built on the HKTDC's extensive database to greatly enhance the accuracy of smart matching through AI and big data analytics. Compared to physical exhibitions, where exhibitors typically need to wait for buyers to visit their booths, Click2Match enables them to actively search for suitable buyers and arrange meetings with global buyers. The platform features meeting scheduling, video conferencing, instant messaging, message translation (up to 14 languages), and file-sharing functions to facilitate easy communication between buyers and suppliers.

Fair attendees need just one account to seamlessly connect to the various HKTDC online platforms, allowing them to navigate between fair websites, Click2Match, hktdc.com Sourcing and the HKTDC Marketplace App anytime and anywhere. In addition, a series of online and offline seminars and conferences will be hosted during exhibition periods, helping attendees tap into the latest market trends by attending activities in person or watching via livestreaming or playback.

Some exhibitors were given prior access to use the Click2Match platform in March. One of the exhibitors, Zuri Jewelry Company Ltd Director Victor Yiu, said the platform is very user-friendly. "We can even check buyers' information before the fair and understand their sourcing demands, allowing us to better prepare for meetings and select the right products for buyers," Mr Yiu said. Another exhibitor, Chit Tat Clock & Watch Co Ltd General Manager Philip Lau, said he is using Click2Match to actively search for overseas buyers. "We will keep track of AI-recommended leads, look at their sourcing demands and schedule meetings in advance, hoping to increase the chance of orders being placed."

hktdc.com Sourcing helps explore blue ocean opportunities

As an extension of the physical fairs, hktdc.com Sourcing provides a trusted year-round online promotional platform. In addition to connecting with buyers at physical fairs, exhibitors can also seek out potential buyers in unexplored blue ocean markets, such as those specialising in online sourcing and overseas buyers that are unable to visit fairs. The platform shows exhibitors' profiles, along with a comprehensive overview of their products and services, increasing their exposure to buyers. The HKTDC recently added a "Request for Quotation" (RFQ) service to the platform, collecting sourcing requests from quality and reliable buyers and helping suppliers to seize every opportunity.

Comprehensive support to help SMEs' transformation

To comprehensively facilitate SMEs to upgrade and transform their business, and to help them maintain their competitiveness, the HKTDC offers a series of platforms and services, including the Digital Academy and E-Tailing Academy, providing professional training related to e-commerce and digital business. The Council also collaborates with major technological enterprises to provide cost-effective e-commerce, digital marketing and enterprise resources planning for SMEs.

T-box helps SMEs create business opportunities

Transformation Sandbox (T-box) is a three-month programme initiated by the HKTDC to promote SMEs' business upgrading and transformation, catering to their needs in the areas of branding, e-commerce, manufacturing and supply chain solutions and exploring new markets. The programme provides advisory services, workshops and government-funding information, helping enterprises to navigate trends, enhance techniques and expand their business network. T-box has attracted more than 2,000 SMEs to join since its launch. The HKTDC will step up its efforts to assist Hong Kong's SMEs in further developing overseas markets through a series of activities. These include liaising with Hong Kong business associations around the world and providing training, group consultations and exchanges with trade committees from foreign chambers of commerce or consulates to join HKTDC's overseas events, helping to build commercial connections and arrange business matching.

The HKTDC also strives to support SMEs in exploring business opportunities in other mature or new markets, including continuous support for Hong Kong companies in developing business in the ASEAN bloc and reinforcing the HKTDC's flagship overseas promotional events. For example, the "Think Business, Think Hong Kong" event will be enhanced with online-to-offline promotional platforms, offering a continuous business matching service along with an SME support scheme and various training activities, helping Hong Kong companies to connect with global enterprises and seize business opportunities in a more effective way.

Physical International Sourcing Show runs in parallel with online Click2Match

The upcoming HKTDC International Sourcing Show brings together seven trade fairs, including the HKTDC Hong Kong Electronic Fair (Spring Edition), HKTDC Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition), HKTDC Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair, Hong Kong Houseware Fair, HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week, HKTDC Hong Kong International Home Textiles & Furnishing Fair, and the Hong Kong International Printing & Packaging Fair, attracting over 1,700 exhibitors from 12 countries and regions with more than 83,000 products. The physical edition will be held from 5 to 8 July in the format of display showcases. Exhibitors and buyers who cannot join due to international travel restrictions can stay connected through Click2Match, the smart business-matching platform of EXHIBITION+, from 5 to 15 July.

Four themed categories display a variety of products

Themed "Smarter Sourcing – Better Living", the International Sourcing Show will highlight a broad range of quality lifestyle products under four main categories, namely Healthy Living, Smart Living, Stylish Living and Sustainable Living. Highlighted products include the TiO2 table lamp, which features 24/7 antibacterial, antivirus, and air purification functions; smart cycling glasses that combine micro-lens, micro-display and thin-film encapsulation Internet of Things (IoT) technologies; and a wireless "lapstation" bag combining wireless charging and workstation, with heat ventilation and water-resistant design.

Seminars share marketing strategies and innovative technology applications

A host of seminars will be held during the show covering hot topics such as digital and social media marketing strategies, testing and qualification services for textiles and shoe production supply chains, the aesthetics of scientific design research, IoT innovation beyond the home, and an introduction to the government's Dedicated Fund on Branding, Upgrading and Domestic Sales (BUD Fund). There will also be networking sessions, assisting enterprises to stay connected and expand business opportunities.

Digital loyalty programs are key to customer retention within highly competitive verticals and now call for interconnected experiences more than ever.

Society Pass' multi-brand ecosystem allows consumers to earn and redeem points at numerous types of retailers, whilst facilitating a unified approach to customer rewards and incentives for merchants.

SoPa management expects to finetune and integrate the beta version of its loyalty platform with selected groups of consumers and merchants in Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore in 2H 2022. With the view of hard launching the loyalty platform in 4Q 2022, at such time, users can pay for goods and services in-store, in-app or online. Society Pass' digital wallet allows users to pay for goods and services by scanning QR Codes and making payments via credit card, debit card, or Society Points. SoPa aims to provide an easy and convenient online e-commerce shopping experience, with a single UI/UX that integrates with all the businesses within its ecosystem.

Dennis Nguyen, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SoPa comments on the launch of the beta version of Society Pass, "The Southeast Asian retail sector is at the cusp of a massive transformation powered by the data driven meta economy. We designed a gorgeous user interface backed by sophisticated backend end infrastructure to kickstart a virtuous cycle of revenue generation and loyalty creation, where Society Pass and Society Points generates more revenues for merchants by retaining existing customers, attracting new customers, reducing customer turnover and syncing customer data through real-time, personalised marketing campaigns. SoPa aggregates data across various touch points which builds a realistic view of consumer behaviour".

"As we said in our IPO last November 2021, we introduce Society Pass in 2Q 2022 with the view of creating permanent customer loyalty for merchants by designing unique, personalised experiences consumers and make shopping even more rewarding across our family of brands. Our business strategy encourages cross-vertical shopping, ultimately keeping an increasing share of wallet within SoPa's ecosystem.

Retention Cloud Leader CleverTap Unveils TesseractDB

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, Jun 8, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – CleverTap, the world's No. 1 retention cloud, today announced it has unveiled TesseractDB(TM), the world's first purpose-built database designed to dramatically improve user engagement and retention for digital consumer brands. TesseractDB(TM) brings true technology innovation to growth marketing leaders looking to deliver in-context, timely, personalized messaging and recommendations across all user touchpoints.

TesseractDB(TM) transforms massive amounts of first-party user data in a privacy-friendly, accessible, and affordable way to power real-time user personalization. Leveraging machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), it offers limitless scale and enables digital brands and businesses to harness data and context for every interaction. User engagement and retention start from Day One when a user launches an app for the first time.

Research estimates that nearly 85% of all messaging is considered spam, an average of about 122 billion messages globally. About 36% of spam content is generated from ill-timed, non-personalized marketing messages. This problem continues to be prevalent due to the limited data technologies that are patently unable to store the massive volumes of first-party data required to offer a truly personal customer experience.

"Today, we are excited to unveil TesseractDB(TM), the data technology that powers the CleverTap platform. It will allow global growth marketing teams to achieve true omni-channel customer engagement," said Sunil Thomas, CleverTap Co-founder and Executive Chairman. "In the last 40 years, MarTech vendors have cobbled together generic off-the-shelf data technologies in an effort to solve issues for end-user messaging. These technologies have been limiting, and as a result, brands simply cannot fully unlock their own user data for real and meaningful relationship building. To transition away from the spam and transactional communication that is so prevalent in MarTech today, we must make user data available, affordable, and easily accessible. This is why we invented TesseractDB(TM)."

TesseractDB(TM) is a giant technological leap that removes all data related limitations typically associated with the MarTech industry. Using TesseractDB(TM), digital brands can offer each user a magical onboarding experience and continue to deliver delightful experiences throughout their journey.

TesseractDB(TM) enables CleverTap to offer unmatched technology, features, and capabilities –

– Unlimited data look back periods without any limitations
– High speed, scale, and unmatched throughput
– Rich, granular first-party user data storage
– Built-in real-time machine learning and AI
– Hyper-personalized engagement and recommendations

"Until now, data look back and access limitations, created by overages and cost, prevented brands from unlocking the full potential of first-party user data for engagement. This is a deep tech and science problem. With TesseractDB(TM), CleverTap provides the industry's most versatile segmentation and data processing engine for mobile engagement," says Momchil Kyurkchiev, Chief Strategy Officer, CleverTap. He adds, "TesseractDB(TM) is designed to provide MarTech professionals a cost-effective and efficient way to capture unlimited data streams and deliver actionable insights and analytics to drive personalization and engagement."
