AI startup AIQ inks deal with Russian media firms

It will provide computer vision and video recognition to Publicis Media Russia’s portfolio.

Singapore-based AI startup AIQ has partnered with Russian firm Publicis Media Russia and social media networking giant VKontakte (VK) to expand into Russia’s major cities, an announcement revealed.

Through this collaboration, Publicis Media Russia has added AIQ’s computer vision and video recognition technology to their portfolio. In a campaign conceptualised by Publicis Groupe, AIQ’s visual recognition technology was introduced through interactive out-of-home (OOH) advertisements to get player incentives for Clever Boy, an online gaming app under VK.com.

According to Raheed Nargund, regional group director of Enterprise Singapore, AIQ is one of the first Singaporean technology companies to have made inroads into Russia.

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.
