iClick Interactive Asia Group opened its Seoul Office and announced the appointment of Youngseok Yoo as its General Manager of iClick Korea, effective from 1st August, 2018. The new Seoul office will leverage iClick’s pre-existing strengths to help Korean brands reach Chinese consumers.

I look forward to joining iClick to lead and work with its highly talented team to connect Korean brands with Chinese consumers, helping them to seize the great opportunities.

Yan Lee, Chief Product Officer & International Head, iClick, says, “As an independent online marketing and technology company, iClick seeks to connect clients across the world with the China market. The opening of our first office in Korea is an important milestone for iClick that will add to our growing global network, providing Chinese consumers even greater access to more international brands. There is certainly an increasing demand from China for Korean brands, and our new office will better enable us to leverage iClick's data, technology and market knowledge to connect those brands with targeted Chinese consumers."
