SINGAPORE & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crisp Media, a pioneer in HTML5 mobile advertising, has opened for business in Singapore and would like to introduce Rosalind Tan as General Manager of Crisp Media’s Singapore office and welcome her to the team.

“We recognized the enormous opportunity for brand advertising in APAC on mobile devices and there is no better place than Singapore to serve our clients in the region.”

Crisp’s expansion to Asia, which is a result of an investment by EDBI earlier this year, will include the addition of research & development resources to continue development of the Crisp Engage platform in Singapore, as well as new business development for Crisp’s rich media business in the APAC region, led by Rosalind Tan.

The unprecedented growth of iOS and Android devices in Asia is the basis for introducing the Crisp Engage platform to Asia now, as the market begins to demand richer advertising experiences on digital content. Crisp Engage is the most flexible platform for making, managing and measuring HTML5 rich media ad campaigns, and Crisp plans to work with regional agencies headquartered in Singapore and throughout APAC to deliver the best advertising campaigns on connected devices.

Boris Fridman, CEO of Crisp Media, said, “We recognized the enormous opportunity for brand advertising in APAC on mobile devices and there is no better place than Singapore to serve our clients in the region.”

Rosalind Tan joins Crisp with over twenty years of delivering proven results to multinational companies and extensive experience in startups.

In 2009, Rosalind relocated back to Singapore to lead the expansion of Internet.com in APAC, and in 2010, Rosalind started iCre8mediabrands which helped international publishers create advertising solutions across online and mobile platforms.
