Singtel taps Lazada in unveiling a marketing portal for SMEs

This is in line with CFE's recommendations.

Telco powerhouse Singtel has partnered with Lazada Singapore in launching the 99% SME e-marketplace, a dedicated portal for local small and medium enterprises to advertise their offerings and tap wider customer base.

Bill Chang, Chief Executive Officer of Group Enterprise at Singtel, said the partnership is the first in Singapore to rally and support local SMEs to operate in the fast-growing e-commerce market.

“The 99% SME e-marketplace, which augments our nationwide 99% SME campaign, provides SMEs with an online marketing platform with no additional onboarding costs to better scale their businesses in the e-commerce space. This is also in line with the Committee on the Future Economy’s call to help SMEs adopt digital technologies,” he said, pointing out CFE's recommendation of providing and financing SMEs to help them adopt digital technologies.

To recall, Singtel together with DBS and other partners, launched the inaugural 99% SME campaign in 2015 to rally all in Singapore to use products and services offered by SMEs.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
