HONG KONG,Oct. 6,2020 -- iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited ("iClick" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ICLK),an independent online marketing and enterprise data solutions provider in China,today announced that it will co-develop "Smart Retail" and "Smart Travel" SaaS solutions with Tencent International Business Group ("Tencent IBG").

The innovative SaaS-based offerings are part of iClick's newly developed Enterprise Solutions,integrating Tencent Cloud's AI,chatbot and facial recognition technology to empower the rapidly-developing WeChat Mini Programs. Leveraging iClick's unparalleled data capability with coverage of 98% of Internet users in China and pioneer experience in providing SaaS-based solutions for the retail and travel industries,as well as Tencent's enormous ecosystem and advanced technologies,the new solution will empower brands to create more business opportunities through comprehensive consumer intelligence and help them grow in international markets more efficiently. iClick's tailor-made SaaS solutions are particularly suited to realizing the huge market potential of the international retail and travel sectors. In these highly competitive industries,SaaS solutions provide a powerful way for overseas marketers to reach the massive number of Chinese outbound consumers and allow brands to super-charge their crucial customer loyalty programs.

As part of the strategic collaboration,iClick will also leverage its extensive customer base to provide and serve clients with smart conferencing solutions through secure and seamless Tencent Cloud Conference. Built on Tencent Cloud's cutting-edge technology and experience gained from serving myriads of customers in the past,Tencent Cloud Conference can be widely used in business conferences,annual meetings,road shows,lectures,industry forums,among others.

"Working with Tencent IBG as their overseas Platinum Partner,iClick's SaaS-based smart initiative is a testament to how we are able to generate synergies through our respective strengths. Together with our collaboration to promote 'Smart Conference',all these offerings will bring our clients a revolutionary new tool to strengthen brand awareness across the region,reflecting iClick's international market expansion strategy which differentiates our competitive position compared to our peers.

"Currently available in Hong Kong,we are confident that this initiative will see strong market acceptance and subsequently expand to other APAC countries. This also affirms our conviction in the substantial upside potential of our Enterprise Solutions,based on our business's scalability and cross-border capabilities. In particular,throughout the global COVID-19 pandemic,we have gained recognition from clients,especially in challenging industries such as travel and retail,for proactively helping them navigate the macroeconomic uncertainties and prepare for the recovery period."
