With more than 70 million new internet users since 2015, the region is now poised with greater digital disruption, SEA's internet users are the epitome of the omnichannel consumer, buoyed by ever-evolving mobile technology consumption and offline to online transactions, there is no dearth of opportunities for them and the businesses that depend on them.
Hot on the heels of this digital gold-rush, #ready18's conference discussed the various aspects that would enhance the consumer and digital readiness of brands. Through various insightful sessions by leaders from companies like Nielsen, Twitter and Google, the event captured the need for the brands to re-engineer their consumer strategy and ways in which they can create a growth mindset within the company. The sessions also recognised that technology has been a big disrupter in many sectors and how business can use technology to their aid.
The rising internet penetration has led to an unprecedented growth of the digital economy in the Asia-Pacific region.
