The region’s wealth increased by 3% since mid 2017.

China ranked second place in the world wealth hierarchy, despite its average wealth per adult of $47,810 in mid 2018 which is lower in comparison to Japan’s US$227,240. Singapore was the only Asian city amongst the top 10 major economies in terms of wealth per adult, placing ninth with US$283,120.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
