SAYS.COM is Malaysia's 16th top local website!
In April 2015, SAYS.COM secured the 16th spot in the list of top 30 local websites in Malaysia with 635,000 unique visitors (comScore)

SAYS.COM has climbed steadily in rankings to becoming Malaysia’s 16th top local website as released by The Malaysian Digital Association (MDA) and comScore. We're the 8th most visited local news site too, beating other online news sites like The Rakyat Post, Astro Awani and The Malay Mail in March and April 2015.
Revenue contribution of sponsored content published on SAYS.COM has also doubled in April 2015 compared to April 2014, delivering unique, shareable social content to over 60 major advertisers in Malaysia
In June 2015, an epic, historical milestone was achieved when a sponsored story created for Pampers Malaysia exceeded 1.02 million reads, gaining high organic traction and audience relevance one year after its published date

We're happy that parents all over the Internet can share and attest to the hair-pulling yet endearing ordeal of sending their little ones to dreamland. The story is currently the most read story on SAYS.COM!
We've also become AirAsia Berhad’s chosen publisher to educate and inspire local and regional readers through a travel brand page on SAYS.COM
A monthly series of highly shareable sponsored content consisting of travel listicles, informative articles and quizzes totalling over 685,000 reads has proven to drive revenue for the world’s top budget carrier.
In a recent content workshop conducted by REV Asia for AirAsia Berhad, Kiku Mitsuru, AirAsia Berhad Group’s Head of Digital said, “The team showed us the value of social relevance and reminded us that there is power in content.”
Over the next half of 2015, the REV Asia team will collaborate, educate and equip advertisers and agencies via workshops, road-shows and social events
“The second half of 2015 will see REV Asia seeking to transfer its sponsored content monetisation know-how in Malaysia across to the Philippines and Indonesia, with the ambition of doubling up its staff force in the next 6 to 12 months," said Voon Tze Khay, Managing Director of REV Asia Holdings Sdn Bhd.
REV Asia also envisions the regional expansion of its social media rewards platform, 8Share, following a significant 360% increase of 8Share users in the Philippines and 279% in Indonesia
