Echoing Uniqlo’s sentiments, Columbus Malaysia managing director Abdullah Alkury in a statement said: “Malaysia is pegged as the new frontier for e-commerce, which opens up market access for brands like Uniqlo to future proof their business by offering online shopping opportunit­ies.

It is crucial that brands have the right strategies in place for a successful e-commerce business, and that includes having a robust digital marketing strategy that covers performanc­e marketing to enhance the effectiven­ess of its campaigns and ultimately conversion­s to sales transactio­ns.”

“That said, there is great synergy between the teams at Columbus and Uniqlo, arising from our shared values to be innovative and win in today’s digital economy. Indeed, we’re excited and pleased to be part of this growth journey with Uniqlo.”
