Hyper-Personalization is the Future of Customer Growth and Engagement in APAC
65% of Asia-Pacific enterprises will implement AI-enabled cloud communication APIs by 20261
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global cloud communications platform, Infobip has released a new report titled "Hyper-Personalization: Intelligent Customer Engagement for Business Growth," with research insights by leading analyst firm IDC. This report explores the intrinsic link between hyper-personalization and CPaaS (communications-platform-as-a-service) in which real-time, data-driven insights deliver improvements to customer journeys.
Asia-Pacific (APAC) businesses are already using CPaaS solutions to harness real-time customer data to obtain valuable insights and strategies from customer interactions. However, they are unaware of how to fully utilize it effectively. Infobip research found that 83% of Gen Z today treat brand relationships like personal relationships2. This is why hyper-personalization is a top priority for many APAC businesses such as India, Singapore, Australia, South Korea, Malaysia, and Mainland China3, especially for businesses looking to resonate further with their customers.
Understanding the DNA of Hyper-Personalization
Hyper-personalization differs from traditional personalization approaches such as addressing customers by their names or automatically sending them generic online birthday offers. It depends on several components to be successful, including data-driven insights to understand customer interaction and preferences, omnichannel engagement to seamlessly engage with customers across their preferred channels, and AI-powered decision-making to accurately predict and enhance customer journeys.
Businesses that deploy hyper-personalization see real tangible benefits, such as increased repeat purchases and higher lifetime spend. IDC research found that 41% of APAC businesses now consider customer satisfaction (CSAT) and customer retention rate as their top metrics when deploying a hyper-personalization campaign4. CSAT is the top metric for businesses in Malaysia (63%), Philippines (63%), South Korea (44%), Hong Kong (43%) and Japan (54%) while customer retention rate has the higher priority in Singapore (46%) and Mainland China (41%).
APAC is Looking to Get More Hyper-Personal
Despite its advantages, only 20% of APAC businesses leverage hyper-personalization due to challenges such as data privacy concerns and the need to balance automation with a human touch5, according to an IDC 2024 survey. AI-powered chatbots also tend to fall behind with complex interactions. But this situation is improving as more businesses realize many of these issues can be resolved by combining a CPaaS solution with a unified data-drive ecosystem like a CDP (customer data platform) to help manage disjointed data spread across various channels. The same survey revealed 32% of APAC organizations have already implemented a CDP.
"By combining the power of CDP and CPaaS, we're helping brands build a unified, data-driven ecosystem that overcomes key challenges and drives smarter customer engagement. In today's competitive landscape, those who invest in this integrated approach won't just keep up — they'll lead the way," said Velid Begovic, VP Revenue at Infobip.
The APAC organizations forecasted by IDC to take the lead in terms of enterprise spend growth rates for CDP from 2024 – 2028 are India (36%), Mainland China (28%), and Indonesia (27%) with Thailand (26%), South Korea (24%), Singapore (24%), Malaysia (23%), Philippines (23%), and Hong Kong (21%), Australia (21%) and Taiwan (13%) following close behind.1
IDC predicts that by 2026, 65% of APAC enterprises will implement AI-enabled cloud communication APIs for seamless employee and customer engagement,2 which will further drive hyper-personalized marketing across the region.
"As CPaaS solutions have become more popular over the past few years, APAC enterprises are also increasing their spend in CDPs as they become aware of the transformational benefits of having both: the CDP provides the fundamental base for intelligence, while the CPaaS solution helps to deliver the overall experience," said Nikhil Batra, Senior Research Director, IDC Asia-Pacific.
Industries that are heavily reliant on customer relationships can benefit greatly from hyper-personalization. One such real-world example is zingala, a Taiwan-based consumer financing and instalment solutions provider. By partnering with Infobip, zingala leveraged both conversational experience platform integrated with a CDP for an end-to-end conversational experience with hyper-personalized options. This resulted in a 53% SMS click-through rate and a 19% rise in push notification open rate.

How Gen Z Can Enter the Job Market as AI Disrupts Entry-Level Jobs
Is AI taking entry-level jobs away from Gen Z? It definitely is disrupting the norm. Over 30% of workers across generations already worry that AI will take their jobs. And according to Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn's chief economic opportunity officer, they have every reason to be concerned. In a recent New York Times op-ed, Raman discussed the impact of AI on entry-level positions and compared this disruption to the decline of manufacturing in the 1980s. He went so far as to suggest that the corporate ladder, in general, was broken, especially the first rung for entry-level positions. It's no surprise that so many within Gen Z feel hopeless about their job prospects out of college. According to a recent report by the World Economic Forum, 40% of employees are cutting staff and utilizing AI for task automation. And when it comes to the hiring process, 21% of companies are automatically rejecting candidates at all stages without any form of human evaluation or interaction. Luis von Ahn, co-founder and CEO of Duolingo, isn't the only one making an AI-first company. According to The SignalFire State of Talent Report, large tech companies are cutting back 25% on hiring, 50% less than pre-pandemic levels. In short: the demand for entry-level positions is nose-diving to the ground at record speed. So, if you're part of the Gen Z generation, how can you stand out? Here are five practical ways you can adapt, succeed, and compete in an AI-driven workforce. Yes, this technology can feel like a foe, especially after getting your one-hundredth rejection letter. However, you have a superpower and an edge over your older counterparts. Unlike previous generations, technology, specifically AI, comes naturally to you. You don't have to think about how to log into ChatGPT or look up how to create a prompt. And that's what makes you stand out. Your ease of use regarding technology is why companies want you on their team. If you can write code with a single command or craft an entire novel using AI, don't hesitate to showcase your talents. Put your skills in front of your ideal employers and let them see what you're capable of. That can comes in the form of presenting your skills on TikTok, showcasing your AI expertise on a podcast, or writing tutorials for a blog. Artificial intelligence remains, at its core, a tool. So, when companies can see how you master this tool, it sets you apart and makes you stand out above your competition. As I stated above, AI is just a tool. It's like a plane. You still need a skilled pilot to fly. Otherwise, you have a machine without purpose. Invest the time to leverage AI as a skill. Take classes online, get certified by a nearby university, and figure out how to take your AI game to the next level. Because when you're given a trial run to show companies what you can do with this technology, you want to be able to present your skills from a professional position. This means, investing time and money into building an AI background that makes your CV shine. Finding a job today is no small feat, especially with 69% of HR departments relying on AI for candidate assessments. That's why thinking outside the box and investing in AI education shows potential companies that you're serious about learning the skills you need to build up their business and increase their bottom line. Over 75% of companies worldwide want to integrate AI into their everyday operations. However, according to Gartner, they penalize potential candidates for using the same technology to pad their resumes and revise their cover letters. Now, is this fair? Maybe. Maybe not. The point is, it's the reality, and Gen Z needs to figure out how to color within the lines while still displaying their AI prowess. That's why networking and connecting with companies outside their Indeed inbox is really the way to go. In-person events can absolutely be your golden ticket, and here's why: It's no secret that AI isn't making it easy to attain entry-level positions, but nothing in life is easy. When employers see that you can face adversity and be unfazed, they'll see your value. After all, how many people can pivot well and see challenges as opportunities? Not many. But, I will say that when I asked Keith Kakadia and Trevor Koverko their thoughts about Gen Z, entry-level jobs, and AI, they were more than optimistic. Kakadia, founder and CEO of Sociallyin, suggested, 'AI isn't replacing entry-level roles—it's redefining what 'entry-level' even means.' Koverko, co-founder of Sapien, saw it from that perspective as well. He believed that 'The future of technology lies in AI, but it will not replace people. It will give them the tools they need to push their skills further than ever.' Is their optimism justified? It's hard to say. However, one thing is sure: adopting a glass-half-full perspective allows you to transform obstacles into stepping stones. When employers witness your ability to be innovative and adaptable, that skill set will make you memorable. Logan Currie, founder, and COO of Careerspan, uncovered a surprising truth after interviewing over 40 recent hires: nearly all had landed their jobs through relationships rather than traditional resumes. Reflecting on this, Currie remarked, 'The most valuable job search tool today isn't AI. It's the ability to have genuine conversations that showcase your potential.' Again, this is why stepping outside the box and presenting who you are to your intended audience is so essential. Building strong connections allows you to stand out while demonstrating your ability to communicate effectively and operate with empathy to potential employers. So, instead of sending that fifth follow-up email to an AI bot, it might be time to reach out to your real-life contacts and find new ways of putting your name out there. It's a small world, and you have many people who know others. If you want to get your dream job, it might be time to think outside the traditional and go straight to the creative. Because in the words of Gigi Robinson, Gen Z founder, author, and CEO of Its Gigi LLC., 'You are more than just your credentials. You're builders, storytellers, and multi-hyphenates. The question is: Will hiring tech evolve to recognize that?" Hiring tech might be blinded by AI at the moment, but there are still plenty of ways to make your mark and gain that entry-level role. It just takes time, a little bit of creativity, and networking.

Galaxy Therapeutics Completes Enrollment of Primary Cohort in Pivotal SEAL IT IDE Trial
MILPITAS, Calif., May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Galaxy Therapeutics, a privately held, clinical-stage medical device company focused on treating brain aneurysms, today announced the completion of enrollment in the primary cohort of its SEAL IT IDE trial. The trial's primary arm, known as the WNBA subgroup (Wide Neck Bifurcation Aneurysms from 2,0mm to 19,0mm of width), has successfully enrolled 163 patients across leading U.S. neurointerventional centers. The study is being conducted under an FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) and is a key step toward eventual Premarket Approval (PMA). "We are proud to have reached this important milestone," said Dr. David Altschul, Principal Investigator of SEAL IT and Chief of Neurointerventional Surgery at Montefiore Medical Center. "This trial represents the first prospective multicenter U.S. study evaluating the SEAL device for wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms — one of the most challenging anatomical presentations in our field." Dr. Brian Jankowitz, also Principal Investigator and Chief of Neurosurgery and Co-Chair of Stroke and Neurovascular Program at the Hackensack Meridian Neuroscience Institute at JFK University Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey, added: "The SEAL device has consistently demonstrated ease of use and promising early outcomes in the investigation, in both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Completing enrollment in the primary cohort is an important achievement as we continue generating high-quality clinical evidence to support its use." The SEAL IT trial continues to enroll patients in two additional cohorts evaluating use of the device with sidewall and ruptured aneurysms, with 52 patients planned for enrollment in each subgroup. In total, the SEAL device has been used in more than 300 patients worldwide across Galaxy-sponsored clinical studies. Developed by physicians for physicians, the SEAL implant is a proprietary, self-expanding intrasaccular device designed to promote durable aneurysm occlusion without the need for adjunctive devices. It has shown encouraging safety and efficacy in earlier clinical studies including Pre-SEAL IT, which enrolled 33 patients at multiple international sites. About Galaxy Therapeutics Galaxy Therapeutics is a private, U.S.-based clinical-stage medical device company founded by four practicing neurointerventional physicians. The company has developed a novel implant technology for the treatment of brain aneurysms and holds multiple patents across the U.S., EU, China, and other key markets.
