Owners of The Verge eye Asia Pacific expansion while Mashable mulls Singapore office

Vox Media is looking at launching in the Asia Pacific region, while technology website Mashable is plotting its move into South East Asia after launching in Australia last year.

Speaking on a panel looking at the business models of digital media brands at SXSW overnight VP of marketing for Vox Jonathan Hunt, which owns brands including tech publication The Verge and Polygon, confirmed it was looking at global expansion towards the end of this year.

He said: “Vox Media is interesting as internationalisation is important to our expansion strategy, so right now we’re doing 125m unique viewers focussed on the US only, but there’s a big portion of that coming from international.
