Welcome to Digital in Asia
This site and the Digital in Asia community is for everyone who works in Digital across Asia.
With your help we hope to become the place to find resources and insight for emerging technologies, new retail, brands, marketing and the consumer internet.
We are active across Facebook,Twitter, and Linkedin so please connect with us there to stay up to date.
When we started this site, we had a couple of core ideas in mind. To help educate and connect those in Digital in Asia.
- Educate – Asia’s digital landscape is evolving quickly, but there is a a lack of knowledge sharing, both across markets, and in terms of introducing global learnings. We want this site to be the “go to” location for the Digital resources you need, whatever your role in the Digital ecosystem.
- Connect – Welcome to digital marketers, blockchain entrepreneurs, influencers, and ecommerce executives from all over Asia. These are jobs that barely existed a few years, even a few months ago. In Asia we stand at the start of a huge and exciting change in Digital. However, beyond the major regional hubs such as Singapore or Hong Kong, there is little sense of this as a larger industry shift. Digital communities in Jakarta, Taipei, Tokyo, HCMC and beyond will grow at an amazing rate over the coming years. We want to capture a sense of excitement and shared purpose.
That’s it. Hope you enjoy the site, please visit us on Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin, or sign up for our newsletter. and feel free to get in touch if you have any thoughts on how we could be doing things better. Remember, this site is for you, the Digital community. If we’re not relevant, we’re not doing things right.
