"With Lazada's shoppertainment strategy, we are excited to collaborate with more partners and introduce new virtual enhancements to uplift consumers' experiences especially as eCommerce becomes an integrated part of lifestyles in Southeast Asia," said James Chang, Chief Business Officer, Lazada Group.
