Digital communications vital in surviving the pandemic: report

Over three in 10 Singaporean firms agree.

More than eight in 10 firms in Asia Pacific cite digital communications as critical to their survival amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, with 33% of these based in Singapore, according to cloud communications platform Twilio’s second annual State of Customer Engagement Report.

The report said Singapore has accelerated its digital transformation by more than six years, primarily due to the pandemic.

More than half (56%) of the firms polled from the city-state will reportedly increase their investments in customer engagement.

“Businesses that leveraged digital engagement amid the pandemic, and continue into the future, will be able to meet these changing consumer demands and through data-driven insights, create more streamlined and personalised customer experiences,” said Twilio.

Further, the report highlighted what concepts would define digital engagement in 2021. These were “digital soars, personalisation is within reach”, “digital drives the agile workforce”, “healthcare, financial services, and public sector embrace digital”, “video enhances our virtual connections”, and "It’s time to build”.

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.
