roomlia®, a hotel booking app
for Android and iOS devices, is quickly growing into one of Remark’s most
promising brands. Named “The Hotel Booking App That Will Change Everything!” by
Yahoo Travel, the app is currently available in 70 leading destinations around
the country, with new hotels and cities being added daily. In April, the
company launched a new rewards program to drive increased customer loyalty and
grow market share in the online travel agency (OTA) industry in the months to
come.
Expanding on its successes in
the mobile space, Remark is currently developing a social media app, known as
Project KanKan, designed to link all major social media networks.
“We believe that we have dealt
with the biggest hurdles to getting KanKan to launch and now expect to launch
the app in China following receipt of certain third party approvals, with a
plan to expand globally thereafter,” stated Kai-Shing Tao, Chief Executive
Officer of Remark. “We believe that KanKan is about discovery, and we look
forward to users discovering how much KanKan can do.”
Since its incorporation in 2006,
Remark has developed an increasingly significant presence in the global media
industry. In addition to its headquarters in Las Vegas, Remark has operations
in Beijing, China and Sao Paulo, Brazil, where it operates local versions of
the HowStuffWorks brand. In China, the company also owns PPTV, the country’s
first digital boxing channel, which is now China’s leading online TV service.
According to the company’s
latest financial reports, Remark made significant strides towards profitability
in the first quarter of 2015. As the company prepares to launch the KanKan
platform and continues promoting and refining its existing portfolio, look for
Remark to make strides toward significant growth in the digital media industry
in the years to come.
