Maventus, a cloud-based social media and mobile marketing software provider, announced today (February 27) that it has opened its regional office in Hong Kong as part of its continuous business expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.
Maventus developed the all-in-one MavSocial content management, campaign planning and scheduling platform to help business owners manage social media and marketing tasks across different social networks. MavSocial also allows its users access to over 17 million stock images from BigStock, and is the first and only platform that offers this functionality.
Maventus currently has offices in San Francisco, Singapore and India. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Mr Matthew Holden said that the new Hong Kong regional office will oversee the company's sales and marketing for Asia-Pacific, with plans to increase the headcount in Hong Kong over the next 12 to 18 months.
Mr Holden said, "We came to Hong Kong because of its central location that puts us right at the heart of Asia-Pacific's dynamic digital environment. In Hong Kong, we are readily in touch with a large customer base from numerous industries. This allows us to demonstrate our platform as an asset for businesses in the region to reap the myriad opportunities social media, mobile communication and big data afford. We help businesses achieve their sales and marketing goals in a customised and sophisticated way."
The Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion, Mr Charles Ng, welcomed Maventus' arrival in Hong Kong and said, "Hong Kong is an international business city with a dynamic mix of local, overseas and Mainland companies. The city also boasts world-class information and communications technology connectivity amid a rising trend of social media and cloud computing in the business community. These factors combine to provide splendid opportunities for next-generation marketing companies like Maventus to leverage Hong Kong's unique position and reach out to many more potential clients."
