This user-generated content platform will enable users to post content and comments within the female community."PressLogic that we see and experience today has only reflected part of our future businesses. We are very excited with the Series A+ investment as it allows us to expand massively (and) globally and become the largest female lifestyle digital media & community player in Asia Pacific,” said Cheung.Founded in 2016, PressLogic has risen to become the leading lifestyle digital media for millennials in Hong Kong, amassing almost eight million Facebook and Instagram fans and followers (with or without carrying PressLogic and GirlStyle branding across regions) and over 700 million monthly content impressions on its social media presences and websites. It has attracted the market's attention and content marketing opportunities. PressLogic aims to build highly effective marketing networks to deliver branded content partners’ messages to their favourable audiences by its data-driven publishing and community management.In the statement, PressLogic said it will continue to upgrade its core technology -- MediaLens through data collections and content optimisation.
