Leveraging iClick’s strengths to help Korean
brands reach Chinese consumers
iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited (“iClick”) (NASDAQ: ICLK),
today announced the opening of its Seoul office and the appointment
of Mr. Youngseok Yoo as General Manager of iClick Korea, effective
August 1, 2018. This is iClick’s first office in South Korea, which
is an important step in the efforts to enable Korean brands and
agencies to more effectively reach the Chinese market.
Yan Lee, Chief Product Officer and Head of International,
iClick, said: “As an independent online marketing and technology
company, iClick seeks to connect clients across the world with the
China market. The opening of our first office in Korea is an
important milestone for iClick that will add to our growing global
network, providing Chinese consumers even greater access to more
international brands. There is certainly an increasing demand from
China for Korean brands, and our new office will better enable us
to leverage iClick’s data, technology and market knowledge to
connect those brands with targeted Chinese consumers.”
Mr. Yoo has 20 years of marketing and corporate communications
experience. Prior to joining iClick, Mr. Yoo spent 13 years with
Microsoft Korea, where he held a number of senior roles. His most
recent position was Senior Director, Head of Communications,
Marketing and Operations.
“I am excited to confirm Mr. Yoo’s appointment to head our
business operations in Korea and the market knowledge, strong
leadership, energy and dynamism he brings to the role. In his years
of experience at Microsoft Korea, Mr. Yoo has demonstrated his
all-round leadership and his suitability to grow our business in a
way that caters to the local needs,” said Mr. Lee.
Mr. Youngseok Yoo, General Manager of iClick Korea, said: “This
is an exciting time for Korean brands who face many opportunities
driven by the increasing demand from Chinese consumers. South Korea
is also a very popular travel destination for Chinese travellers,
and China is the largest contributor of international retail
e-commerce sales in the country. I look forward to joining iClick
to lead and work with its highly talented team to connect Korean
brands with Chinese consumers, helping them to seize the great
opportunities.”
