The growing Asian influencer economy has unmet needs

• The Asian influencer economy is growing fast. In China alone, the iResearch Consulting group forecasts the market to surpass $35B by 2021.

• However, finding the right group of local influencers to work with and promote their products/services is still a daunting task for brands.

• Due to information asymmetry, many Asian influencers lack effective means to nurture the fan base and struggle to generate extra income from their accounts.

• There’s a massive opportunity for a new marketplace to emerge and solve these pressing issues—by efficiently matching local influencers in Asia with global brands and providing powerful tools & data for both sets of stakeholders.

A gig marketplace for Asian influencers and global brands

• Quantum Music solves the mismatch between Asian influencers and global brands by building a gig marketplace.

• We help brands select an optimal group of affiliated influencers to partner with, structure targeted marketing campaigns, and track & analyze the results.

• We assist affiliated influencers (especially micro-influencers) in gaining more online traction and generating more income by completing promotion tasks.

• By partnering with Quantum Music, brands maximize returns on their digital marketing campaigns, and influencers receive unprecedented opportunities to make a better living.

A catalyst for success in the influencer economy

Easy-to-use, data-driven, omni-channel, tech-enabled

At Quantum Music, we are committed to creating products that enable the success of both influencers and brands:

• For influencers, we provide access to proprietary toolkits (e.g., content improvement modules, follower demographic analysis) to learn and grow their fan bases faster across different social media channels.

• For brands, we provide easy-to-use, end-to-end solutions to promote their products and services. With robust feedback, brands can continually improve their campaign efficiency.

We have a healthy mix of young and established brands partnering with us to promote their products and services.

We are successful when our customers are successful

Quantum Music’s business model runs on a self-reinforcing flywheel with solid momentum.

Similar to Uber, Airbnb, and other two-sided marketplaces, our primary source of revenue comes from the affiliated influencer network: for every promotion task carried out on the Quantum Music marketplace, we collect payment from a third-party brand and split the benefit with influencers who complete the job. 

Quantum Music typically keeps 20-40% of the gross revenue generated per task, and shares the rest with affiliated influencers.

As a case study, we partnered with a popular game in Asia, Honor of Kings, and completed the following promotion:

Asian influencer economy is a multi-billion dollar opportunity

Quantum Music competes in the Asian influencer economy, a massive market opportunity expedited during the pandemic. In China alone, the market size is projected to surpass $35B by the end of 2021, growing quickly at 30% per year.

Asian influencer economy took off in 2019 and has transitioned to a new phase of expansion. Quantum Music is winning by democratizing access to the influencer economy. 

A different approach in serving the stakeholders

The influencer economy is not a new concept invented by us. However, compared to others, Quantum Music is taking a drastically different approach by lowering the barriers to entry, rewarding most with incremental income, and adding tremendous market efficiency.

	Traditional Approach	Quantum Music Approach
A. Platform	Superstar Effect Many companies often treat influencers as "lottery tickets," as they heavily bet on a few big ones and neglect the micro-influencers. They hope that these "lottery tickets" will more than compensate for the total costs incurred for their companies.	Long-Tail Effect We provide training and toolkits so that most participants (including the micro-influencers) can improve and be benefited with more income. Our success is determined by the median influencer quality and performance instead of just a few "lottery tickets."
B. Process	Labor-Intensive Companies mostly rely on tedious/repetitive processes (e.g., calls, texts) when communicating with influencers and working with brands. They lack a commitment to building a more robust and scalable system to support long-term growth.	Tech-Enabled We are willing to make an upfront investment in designing a streamlined process and building a marketplace that is empowered by technology. We take a long-term view and believe that the upfront investment will generate attractive returns.
C. Pricing	Opaque Price quotes are mostly ad hoc. Brands are constantly hurt by hidden fees or unfair premiums charged in the market.	Transparent Our pricing is robust and logical. With lower overhead, we want to continue improving the liquidity and efficiency of the market.

The go-to marketplace for Asian influencers

Our vision is to become the go-to marketplace for Asian influencers. We have built an elite culture as a sound foundation for future expansion. The core of our culture includes:

Innovation has been codified into our DNA. We are also structuring an experiment in the NFT (aka. non-fungible token) space. In the long run, we want to better help global influencers build and capitalize on their true fans with the power of cutting-edge technologies, such as blockchain. 

We shall use the funding raised from this offering for team hiring, influencer & brand acquisition, and technology improvement. We are focused on building a big company with a viable path to grow beyond $100M in ARR within five years.
