Geniushub Launches 1-Hour Marketing Consultation to Help Hong Kong SMEs Seize Digital Opportunities


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 May 2025 – As artificial intelligence (AI) and mobile technology rapidly reshape the digital landscape, the online behaviors and media consumption habits of Hong Kong consumers are evolving at an unprecedented pace. According to the latest 《Digital 2025: Hong Kong》report, local internet penetration has reached 96%, while mobile device adoption has soared to 235%. Consuming video content and engaging across multiple platforms have become the norm. To help businesses respond to this transformation, Geniushub has announced the launch of a 1-hour marketing consultation service, offering professional advice to Hong Kong’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and supporting them in seizing new opportunities in digital transformation.

In response to these trends, Geniushub has identified six key marketing insights for 2025 to help local SMEs tackle new challenges and enhance their competitiveness:

  1. Proactively Adopt AI Tools: Accelerate the use of AI for content creation, data analysis, and advertising optimization to boost marketing productivity and responsiveness.
  2. Implement AI Search Optimization (GEO): In addition to traditional SEO, optimize content to meet the emerging needs of AI-powered search tools and increase brand exposure.
  3. Cross-Platform Content Strategy: Integrate search engines, social media, official websites, and video platforms to drive diverse brand exposure and increase conversion opportunities.
  4. Leverage Short-Form Video Marketing: Platforms such as YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok have become mainstream, making video strategies a fundamental requirement rather than just an option.
  5. Mobile-First Design: Ensure websites and advertising materials are fully optimized for mobile devices, streamline checkout and payment processes, and enhance user experience to increase conversion rates.
  6. Implement Diversified Marketing Strategies: Avoid relying on a single platform; design layered marketing strategies targeting different audience segments to reach potential customers comprehensively.

To help SMEs capitalize on digital transformation opportunities, Geniushub is now offering a 1-hour marketing consultation service. Its team of professional consultants will provide tailored recommendations on advertising budget planning, platform selection, content strategies, and marketing approaches based on each enterprise’s industry and market situation.

ADDX Partners with Franklin Templeton and Lexington Partners on Secondaries

SINGAPORE, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ADDX, a digital wealth platform based in Singapore, has partnered with Franklin Templeton and Lexington Partners to make private equity secondaries more accessible to individual accredited investors in Singapore. Through the partnership, ADDX will offer access to a globally diversified secondaries strategy, designed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation and exposure to growth-oriented private market opportunities.

Private equity secondaries investing typically involves acquiring existing interests in mature, closed-ended funds. These limited partner-led (LP-led) secondaries often enjoy potential benefits ranging from greater transparency into underlying assets to the potential for earlier liquidity, compared to primary fund investments. In recent years, general partner-led (GP-led) strategies have also gained prominence, providing GPs with tools to extend ownership of high-quality assets while offering optional liquidity to existing investors.

Private equity secondaries are often associated with reduced blind pool risk, as capital is invested into more seasoned portfolios. This segment of private equity has grown significantly in recent years, driven by increasing demand for flexible liquidity solutions and more dynamic capital management.

Lexington Partners is one of the world’s largest and most experienced managers of secondary and co-investment strategies, with over US$76 billion in total capitalisation and more than 31 years in this space. In 2022, Franklin Templeton acquired Lexington as part of its broader effort to expand its alternative asset management capabilities.

Inmoo Hwang, Chief Financial Officer of ADDX, said:
“We are committed to broadening access to sophisticated private market strategies for accredited investors in Singapore. Secondaries combine diversification and greater transparency; qualities that align well with the goals of our investor base. Partnering with Lexington, a global pioneer in secondaries, alongside Franklin Templeton, is a natural extension of our mission.”

Christian Bucaro, Head of Wealth for Asia at Franklin Templeton, said: 
“As investors in Asia are increasingly seeking diversified exposure to alternative investments , we are delighted to partner with ADDX to bring our first evergreen private equity secondaries offering to accredited investors in Singapore. In line with our commitment to democratise alternative investing, our collaboration with ADDX will enable us to reach a wider investor base and make high-quality private equity secondaries accessible to more investors.”
