The SCMP’s expanding international audience has given advertisers the opportunity to connect their brand to an expanded market, making the Post a news marketing partner of choice in the region. Choo will be leading the Post’s international advertising business in the Asia Pacific region and contribute to its international sales strategy.
Choo’s appointment bolsters the SCMP’s focus in Southeast Asia and will lead collaborations with brands keen to engage with its global business audience. He will be in charge of implementing and managing the sales activities in the APAC region, identifying new business opportunities, and defining strategies to generate new growth opportunities.
Choo will oversee the regional sales office in Singapore and report directly to Romanus Ng, SVP of Advertising & Marketing Solutions.
