The partnership will rollout primarily in three key markets to start – Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.
Both media platforms are top destinations for brands looking to reach Asia’s independent, smart and stylish women who make bright and insightful consuming decisions. StarWorld has long been established as the channel of choice for premium brands looking to reach the coveted high- earning sophisticated female audience. Since its debut in 2010, Clozette has earned recognition in the arena of fashion discovery and social shopping, and have steadily gained mindshare from the likes of global brands and agencies for premium advertising and digital engagement campaigns.
