Discripto® pulls real-time market data from Asia’s leading digital channels and marketplaces (Tmall, JD, Douyin, Rakuten, Shopee, Coupang, Amazon Japan, Naver, Baidu), while Webber® operationalizes AI-driven market intelligence, paid-media optimization, and process automation across service delivery.

Go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, targeting global brands across nine verticals (beauty, food & beverage, health & wellness, fashion, mother & baby, house & home, chemicals, pet care, sports & recreation). Marketing channels include the firm’s The Negotiation podcast, Jake’s Take blog, industry conference presence, case studies, and earned media in business publications.
