Foolproof expands to Asia with Singapore purchase

Experience design firm acquires Singapore-based One to One Global in regional push.

In a release, UK-based experience design agency Foolproof announced it has acquired One to One Global Pte. Ltd. a long established Singapore based user experience agency. The acquisition underpins Foolproof’s growth ambitions in Asia and establishes an operational hub for the region.

“This is a really exciting time for the user experience market in Singapore and Asia as a whole. Businesses are increasingly turning to user experience as a means of gaining competitive advantage. By adding a local team in Asia, Foolproof acquires valuable knowledge, experience and an appreciation for regional nuances, all of which are essential for optimising user experiences in local markets," said Peter Ballard, Co-Founder of Foolproof.

Foolproof said that over the past eight years the Singapore team, led by Evelyn Lee, has worked with leading brands such as PayPal, Shell, Skype, Nokia, StarHub, and Institute for InfoComm Research. Evelyn will remain a director of the company, which will be known as Foolproof (sg) Pte. Ltd., and for which the company has ambitious growth plans.

“This is great news, both for our teams and for our clients. Foolproof shares our philosophy and values, including the paramount importance of involving customers throughout the digital design process. Becoming part of Foolproof means we’re now well placed to grow the business significantly, both in Singapore and across the rest of Asia," said Ms. Lee.

Foolproof is one of the world’s leading specialist experience design agencies and already works extensively with clients across Asia, including HSBC, Lloyds TSB, RS Components, and Bodog.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
