SINGAPORE--(Marketwired - Dec 2, 2013) - Amobee, the company defining digital advertising, today announced that it will be the exclusive digital marketing partner for the Mercedes Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week, an Asia-wide collaboration of top emerging designers in one event, to be held from in November 30 to December 4, at White Box at Publika in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The partnership with Asia Fashion Week is part of Amobee's ongoing expansion into the Malaysian market.
Malaysia has a mobile phone penetration of 137%, with nearly 30% of the population owning smartphones according to Nielsen. In addition to Asia Fashion Week, Amobee is also working with Maxis, Malaysia's largest national mobile operator, to introduce new services using Amobee's PULSE platform.

"We're excited to continue working with Amobee on future projects to bring their digital expertise to the fashion industry and the Malaysian market."
The Mercedes Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week is the first ever Asia wide collaboration of top emerging designers in the one media event, taking place once a year in each Asian host city. The event is a collaboration of 12 official fashion associations across Asia, with the likes of China, Korea, Japan, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Vietnam, showcasing their best designers in one central location. This international platform also plays hosts to the top buyers, media, editors, retailers, celebrities and VIPs from around the world.
"We're proud to be the exclusive digital partner of Asia Fashion Week," said Mark Strecker, president and COO of Amobee. "Malaysia is an advanced and fast growing mobile market, and fashion brands are increasingly looking to mobile to engage the Generation C audience. Partnering with the premier fashion event in Asia is a great opportunity for Amobee to expand in two growth markets."
