The company's client portfolio includes Google, Microsoft, PubNub and more. Stipop also began an application program interface (API) service for companies so that they can offer stickers in their communication tools such as messengers, dating apps, webinars and more. The advertisement option was introduced for overseas users not familiar with the concept of purchasing stickers. On Stipop, users can get stickers by paying out of pocket or downloading them after watching an advertisement provided in the app. But their efforts paid off as gradually they were able to attract artists who began to upload their stickers on the company's platform. Cho and Park had to peruse social media network platforms to find artists who might be interested. However, it wasn't easy from the start given that finding sticker artists was a challenge of its own. With stickers, Stipop believes that it can achieve the same level of success in the global market as Kakao Talk stickers and K-webtoons. вЂњWe believe the global sticker market has the potential to grow over tenfold,вЂќ Cho said.

But, Cho and Park believe that the market will soon make its way over to stickers as they are free from copyright issues and offer additional revenue to the creators. For example, iPhone messaging service iMessage launched stickers in 2016, and the mobile messaging app Whatsapp and social media platform Facebook messenger rolled out sticker services in 2018.ДЇor now, overseas users are more familiar with memes or gifs - animated images - as demonstrated in Google and FacebookвЂ™s acquisition of GIF platforms Giphy and Tenor. вЂњKorea is about four to five years ahead of the US in terms of sticker market growth,вЂќ Cho explained. вЂњAfter seeing successful cases of the sticker business in Korea, we became confident that weвЂ™d have a good chance of doing well in the global market,вЂќ Cho said. This further rose to 2.3 billion stickers sent on a monthly average in 2019 alongside 20-30% of Kakao Talk users purchasing stickers. Upon Kakao Friends' entry in the market in 2012, Kakao Talk saw its sticker service leap with an average of 400 million stickers sent on a monthly basis.

Kakao Friends, a subsidiary of the country's largest messaging operator Kakao Corp., runs operations for the Kakao-branded characters based on the emoticons. The two founders made note of Kakao stickers' success and their strong grasp over the domestic market as an indicator of the possibilities in the global market. While thinking of business ideas, they saw potential in stickers which at the time were not widely used in overseas markets, with a limited variety despite their booming success in South Korea. Stipop was co-founded in 2017 by Daniel Cho and Tony Park who met in high school and bonded over their shared experience of living abroad. The company's global outreach is impressive with stickers in 25 languages and a rise in users from Latin American countries such as Mexico and Venezuela as well as Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia, Iran and Yemen. Just four years after its establishment, Stipop has grown into a global platform for 7,000 creators across 35 countries and 2 million users worldwide. Stipop, a South Korean startup, provides a platform for artists to create and upload their stickers alongside offering white-label emoji solutions for companies.
