OUR JOURNEY
MILESTONES & SUCCESSES
2008
BIRTH OF THE MOBILE REVOLUTION
The inception of 2359 Media happened in 2009, the year the App Store was launched. We developed and launched SG Malls – our first mobile app which allowed users to navigate through malls with their phone’s GPS. The app successfully garnered a rapid adoption of over 85% of local iOS users, paving the way for 2359’s industry disruption.
2009
THE CREATION OF A SHARED VISION
2359 was co-founded by visionaries Wong Hong Ting and Zhou Wenhan, who set out to carve the high standards that shape quality mobility solutions for brands and innovative businesses. Starting out specialising in custom application development and full mobile advertising campaign strategy, we have since been helping clients transform their businesses to advance toward their visions for tomorrow.
