theAsianparent (TAP), the largest parenting portal in the region, has gathered 110 (and counting!) influencers across Southeast Asia to establish the ‘TAPfluencer network’, the first of its kind.

Composed mostly of mumfluencers, a handful of dadfluencers, as well as thought leaders, the network has a collective reach of 6.1 million users across Asia: 2.4 million on Facebook and 2.5 million on Instagram, to name some platforms.

Connecting the right influencers with brands they truly believe in, the network benefits its members, marketers, and theAsianparent audience alike, through engaging content coming from the TAPfluencers’ real mum/dad perspectives.

As they test products and take part in campaigns and events, TAPfluencers will be able to gain unique brand experiences to share with those in the same parenthood stage – from expecting a baby all the way to raising a pre-teen.

The list of TAPfluencers was debuted during the launch event last September 9, 2017 at the Tickled Media headquarters. Members of the TAPfluencer network were in attendance to take part in the momentous event.

 

Leading the TAPfluencer project is Minoli Almeida, who has been a Community Manager with the company for the last 4 years. Her new role encompasses discovering, training, and connecting the TAPfluencers. Some of whom are:
