VoxPopMe
“This is a fantastic opportunity for London businesses like VoxPopMe to explore trade opportunities in Southeast Asia and to expand their networks." Boris Johnson, Mayor of London.
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 1 December 2014
Brands serving the Asian market now have a brilliant new way to capture insight from consumers thanks to the arrival of VoxPopMe in Singapore, and the launch of the VoxPopMe App.
The free App is available immediately for iPhone and an Android version will be launched early in 2015. The VoxPopMe App will allow consumers to earn between $1 and $2 for recording short video responses to questions asked by leading brands.
The office opening coincides with a UK trade mission led by Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, which aims to increase the number of London companies exporting to Singapore and Malaysia. The Mayor said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for London businesses like VoxPopMe to explore trade opportunities in Southeast Asia and to expand their networks. I want to encourage even more London companies to benefit from exporting to this dynamic, growing market, building on the strong existing ties with the UK.”
The VoxPopMe office in Singapore is the first outside the UK for the company which launched in 2013 and is already used by many major brands, including McDonalds, Sony and the BBC. CEO, Dave Carruthers, said: “Singapore is the logical place to start our global expansion. Asian consumers are completely mobile-centric and mobile-savvy. As such we believe they will really embrace the ability to provide video feedback rather than using more traditional and less engaging research techniques.”
The office will be led by Robert Fry as Managing Director for the region. Robert brings significant experience of the Asian market to the company, having spent the last 10 years in Singapore with Mediacom and GroupM. Robert, who has also invested in the company, said: “I am extremely impressed with the technology VoxPopMe has developed. I believe it is a real game changer that provides brands with incredibly rich consumer feedback in near real time. It will transform the market research landscape in Asia.”

In addition to the Apps, VoxPopMe also provides a browser-based version of its technology for brands to use directly with their own customers. This enables organisations to add video feedback to existing customer experience management and product development and testing.
