香港和曼谷2019年4月24日 /美通社/ -- 中國領(lǐng)先的獨(dú)立在線營銷數(shù)據(jù)與技術(shù)平臺(tái)愛點(diǎn)擊（NASDAQ:ICLK）和泰國頂尖線下到線上 (O2O) 廣告解決方案供應(yīng)商VGI Global Media Plc (VGI) （VGI.BKK）訂立合資公司協(xié)議，將通過引進(jìn)先進(jìn)的數(shù)字營銷技術(shù)為東南亞企業(yè)提供更有效的營銷解決方案，幫助他們抓住價(jià)值數(shù)十億美元的中國消費(fèi)市場。
近年來，中國消費(fèi)者在東南亞各國展現(xiàn)出了強(qiáng)大的消費(fèi)欲望和能力。在此背景下，合資公司將充分整合愛點(diǎn)擊和VGI各自的優(yōu)勢，深化東南亞各地企業(yè)和中國消費(fèi)者之間互動(dòng)，挖掘更具潛力的商業(yè)增長點(diǎn)，共同創(chuàng)造跨境營銷機(jī)會(huì)。期間，合資公司將通過一系列移動(dòng)和新媒體產(chǎn)品來實(shí)現(xiàn)這一增長機(jī)會(huì)，其中包括：
愛點(diǎn)擊CEO兼共同創(chuàng)始人薛永康表示：“通過提供各種創(chuàng)新的解決方案，新成立的合資公司將進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)愛點(diǎn)擊與VGI在當(dāng)?shù)財(cái)?shù)字營銷市場的影響力。面對消費(fèi)者需求的快速變化，提供有效、靈活和更精準(zhǔn)的產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)是未來在營銷領(lǐng)域獲取成功的關(guān)鍵保障。我們相信，愛點(diǎn)擊與VGI的此次戰(zhàn)略合作可以為該地區(qū)的品牌創(chuàng)造更大、更創(chuàng)新的營銷價(jià)值，同時(shí)助其達(dá)成更多的商業(yè)及投資目標(biāo)?！?/p>
泰國VGI首席執(zhí)行官Nelson Leung表示：“這次合作將有效推動(dòng)泰國，乃至東南亞的數(shù)字技術(shù)在營銷領(lǐng)域的發(fā)展應(yīng)用。我們很高興與愛點(diǎn)擊聯(lián)手，通過戰(zhàn)略性地優(yōu)勢整合，來釋放我們雙方潛力，以提高我們在該地區(qū)的數(shù)字營銷影響力和市場份額。通過愛點(diǎn)擊在數(shù)字市場分析方面的專業(yè)知識(shí)和對中國大陸地區(qū)以及更廣泛的亞洲市場的了解，我們將更好地為客戶提供有針對性的、定制的、可監(jiān)測的營銷解決方案。我們還將繼續(xù)擴(kuò)大O2O解決方案，以滿足不斷增長的中國市場的需求。”
合資公司將進(jìn)一步挖掘東南亞市場的巨大潛力。中國是世界上出境旅游人數(shù)最多的國家。根據(jù)中國文化和旅游部的數(shù)據(jù)，2018年中國出境游客人數(shù)近1.5億人次。對這些游客來說，較受歡迎的目的地是泰國，其次是日本、越南，新加坡、印尼和馬來西亞。隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，中國出境游客表現(xiàn)出強(qiáng)烈的出國消費(fèi)傾向，他們在2017年花費(fèi)了2580億美元，貢獻(xiàn)了全球出境游開支的21%，再次證明了中國消費(fèi)者的消費(fèi)能力。合資公司不僅僅著眼于旅游業(yè)，也會(huì)抓緊零售、消費(fèi)品、醫(yī)療保健和娛樂等行業(yè)的潛在機(jī)遇。
合資公司的成立仍有待相關(guān)監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)的審批。
