Welcome to ClickZ Asia

Our goal is to serve you, as marketers in Asia Pacific, with the most up-to-date insights and best practices about digital marketing and advertising.

Everyday, something new is happening in the digital and increasingly social marketing world.

Consider these recent developments in online advertising and marketing:

  • Google ushers in a new interface with the introduction of Google Instant.
  • Facebook joins the location-based business with Foursquare and other geo-brands.
  • Tudou partners with VivaKi to roll out AdSelector, a new online video ad format.
  • Dentsu’s digital arm, Cyber Communications, partners with OpenX to launch an online ad exchange in Japan that will debut later this year.

It’s a challenge trying to keep up with breaking news, let alone make sense of it.

Because of that, Incisive Media’s ClickZ Asia launches today. Our goal is to serve you, as marketers in Asia Pacific, with the most up-to-date insights and best practices about marketing and advertising trends and provide perspective on the quickly evolving landscape in a wide range of disciplines – search, analytics, media planning and buying, social media, and mobile marketing.

A key feature of ClickZ Asia, like our sister site in the United States, will be our Experts columns, written by and for marketers. So far, more than 20 leading interactive marketing practitioners in the region are committed to discussing trends, sharing best practices, and more.

“As our Asian based customers continue to grow their online advertising and marketing budgets and our global customers ramp up their investments in Asia, I would like them all to know that we will be there to support them much like we do in the United States and Europe,” said Matt McGowan, publisher and head of Incisive Media, U.S. “Coupled with the launch of SES Hong Kong, the first of many conferences in Asia, we strive to be their first choice for keeping up with this ever changing and evolving industry and to helping to educate and train their teams. ”

ClickZ Asia is headed up by Adaline Lau, a business journalist experienced in covering the marketing and broadcast TV industries in Asia Pacific. She will recruit and oversee the Experts contributors and will report and write in depth news reports, case studies, and features.
