WhiteWave Media Group enters into strategic Partnership with Asia360
Singapore, 17 September 2012 – WhiteWave Media Group announced today a strategic investment in Asia360, Asia’s only regional news magazine.
The resulting strategic partnership will see WWMG and Asia360 work closely on an enhanced integrated offering for Asia360 in print, online and mobile, to be re-launched before Q1 2013. Asia360 will reorganize along fully integrated publishing workflows, with its regional network of journalists producing content that is optimized for all three mediums, instead of merely re-purposing print content for cross-publication in digital mediums.
Asia360 will also tap on WWMG’s regional network in Asia to strengthen its regional presence. As part of this strategic partnership, WWMG CEO Julian Peh, will fulfill the newly created role of Publishing Director of Asia360.
Speaking on the partnership, founder and editor-in-chief of Asia360 Goh Chien Yen says: ”Asia360 fulfills a gap for in-depth regional news and analysis for some of the most sophisticated readers in Asia. With our regional content sourced through our empirical news-gathering process the NewsLab, Asia360 is a news organization with an inherently digital DNA. The strategic partnership with WWMG will enhance our digital publishing capabilities to make sure our reader can have the content they want, wherever they are.”
On Asia360’s to-be-launched integrated publishing platform, Julian Peh added, “Advertisers are well-served by media companies that can truly provide a way to use digital effectively to reach across geographical boundaries. With Asia360’s upcoming launch of its integrated platform, we hope to increase ROI for regional advertisers looking for a way to reach the discerning readers and intelligentsia across Asia.”
