Tan to Drive FocusVision in AsiaPac

FocusVision - which provides online video transmission and analysis for qual market research - has appointed former Research Now Client Development Manager Baxter Tan to spearhead its growing Asia Pacific business.

The company provides video transmission for focus group facilities, in-homes and shop-alongs, and video-enabled online focus groups using web cams. Last week it launched a new 'Mobile Streaming' service, which delivers live video streaming to mobile devices such as iPads and iPhones.

Tan, who becomes Business Development Director, Asia, has more than eleven years' experience in the market research industry. He joins from online panel specialist Research Now, where for the past three years he was solely responsible for new markets in Asia including Singapore (where he was based), South Korea, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Previously, he was a Client Service Manager for Nielsen Australia and worked in the Custom Research and Retail divisions of ACNielsen Malaysia.

FocusVision opened its Singapore office last summer, and says that since then it has seen a 350% increase in sales across the Asia Pacific region.

Duke Perrucci, VP of Global Sales, says Tan's 'deep agency experience will be a tremendous asset as the company further develops the Asian business.'
