Nine in 10 videos are watched with subtitles in both regional languages as well as English.
Kingsley Warner, General Manager of Vuclip Malaysia said: “We believe in focusing on non-vanity metrics that are consumer-focused to drive our business, meaning engagement time, retention rate and consumer reviews. While it is still early days for us with 60 days since our successful launch in Malaysia, the initial numbers around consumer engagement and our strategic partnerships are very exciting and validate our strategy to be a global service offering 'Best of Asian' content with a localised experience.”
