After 20 years, IKEA was opening its new store in Cheras,
an underdeveloped area in KL with no easily accessible
public transport.
To ensure Malaysians remembered the store’s location,
we created a pop song with puns using IKEA furniture
names. The song was so entertaining and catchy, no one
could forget the store’s location. Overnight, “Get Cheras to
Cheras” became a national catchphrase.
The video garnered 1.3 million views in total on our social
platforms. We achieved 46% above target footfall on the
opening day, which is 1.5x higher than an average day at
IKEA Damansara.

CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS
It's been difficult for KFC to get Millennials to try their
burgers with McDonald's dominating brand love. With
the launch of KFC’s Hot and Cheezy burger, we wanted
to change that. Malaysians youths are fickle content
consumers skipping everything that doesn’t hold their
interest. We decided to use programmatic technology
to create brand messaging, by distributing content in
a millennial-relevant manner. Our big idea: a Hot &
Cheezy burger that spouts cheesy lines inspired by what
millennials were searching for on YouTube. Partnering with
Google, we developed over a 100 YouTube pre-rolls that
delivered a cheesy pick-up line based on the video that
was about to be watched. Our pre-rolls touched 35% view
through rate, breaking the YouTube Malaysia record! 13%
more customers visited KFC during the campaign and Hot
and Cheezy burger sales increased 16% week-on-week.
Because of this, KFC grew 20% in market share amongst
competitors in the burger category.

CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS
McDonald’s Malaysia needed to turn the tide against
the slowest month in retail and a local boycott during the
2015 Ramadan. The sales had declined by 60% and the
Malays were uncomfortable being spotted at McDonald’s.
Leveraging cultural marketing and the campaign
message ‘Indahnya Ramadan’ (Beauty of Ramadan), we
demonstrated McDonald’s sincerity in creating products
and services that addressed Malay community’s needs
during Ramadan.
Every aspect of the campaign was anchored in cultural
insights. Sales grew by 1%, defying category trend of
decline and exceeded McDonald’s expectations by 116%.
Ramadan 2015 recorded 2nd highest monthly sales in
McDonald’s Malaysia’s history.

CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS
McDonald’s Big Mac, a global icon had slipped in popularity
amongst the younger Malaysians. Challenge was to
seamlessly connect the participative digital world of the
Malaysian youth and the Big Mac. The existing brand
asset, the ‘Big Mac Chant’ was a promising connector.
We integrated McDonald’s Big Mac with the lip-syncing
app ‘Dubsmash’ and invited Malaysian youth to have fun
creating their own Big Mac Chants.
Our idea ‘Big Mac Dubsmash Chant Challenge’ caught
on quickly, generating 3.5 hours of branded content.
Big Mac’s awareness increased by 10.12% and trial rate
doubled amongst Malaysian youth.

CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS
On the occasion of Hari Raya, BSN wanted to wish
Malaysians and liven up the festive mood. But with
sentiments of racial tensions heating up of late, BSN felt
it was time to address the issue and spread a message
of unity. A web film titled “Pengacau Raya” was produced
based on the story of a Chinese Boy married to a Malay girl.
‘Pengacau’ means an outsider who causes a stir, referring
to the Chinese boy. But this story puts a humourously
positive twist to that word because he helps the family by
literally ‘stirring’ all the dishes being cooked.

CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS
Hari Raya is Malaysia’s largest festive period. It’s also the
period where everyone drives back to their hometowns
for celebrations. Naturally there are more accidents on
the road during this period. No surprise really as Malaysia
ranks 17th in the world for ‘most dangerous roads’.
CAMPAIGN
PROBONO/GOVERNMENT/CULTURAL
Inspired by a survey finding that 97% of Malaysian parents
claimed they drive much safer when children are in the
car. What if we could have a kid with us all the time while
driving? This led us to a really obvious idea: a kid’s voiced
GPS to encourage safe driving. Instead of creating another
run-of-the-mill GPS platform, we collaborated with Waze.

We invited different children to donate their voices for Waze
directional prompts with charming reminders to drive safe.
Maxis Safe Mode was a runaway success reaching even
international news mediums like NBC and Bloomberg. It
has also been downloaded 956,369 times. With 4.2 million
active Malaysian Waze users, that's 1 out of 4 downloading
and engaging with this pack.

We brought back a popular song from the 80’s, SamaSama, which means “Together” and got BSN’s Kucing
Happy, now a social media sensation to perform it. The
lyrics of the song were re-written to reflect real moments
Malaysians experienced together. Fans were then invited
to share their moments of togetherness on social media to
complete the song.

Hari Raya is an extremely advertising cluttered period.
Our mission was to gain one million views on social
media when last year Raya video had only garnered about
300,000 views.
The big idea is to leverage on the fasting month, a period
of performing good acts. Moreover, Malaysians are a
generous lot, ranking 7th most generous nation of the
world. So we gamified the TVC where every interaction
leads to a donation by TM.
We overachieved our objective with 1.26 million views and
TM even donated RM30,000 to charity.

Domestic abuse is a fact of life with one in 10 women we

the victims are embarrassed and others just don’t see it or
don’t know what to do. We used the personal stories and voices of actual victims
expressed through specially sculpted smiling busts
representing their often bold external facades, placed
in public spaces like malls to create a tide of empathy
that elicited an increase in call-ins to WAO by 20% and
RM1,000,000 plus worth of free PR was generated with
16 media titles and radio coverage by 5 stations.

of prosperity, by reminding Malaysians of their most
important possession – their loved ones. Our ‘Rubber Boy’
campaign became the most successful CNY campaign for
PETRONAS in consumer engagement and brand equity
gains. It also got the highest spontaneous brand recall for
PETRONAS during and post the CNY period.

We were tasked to grow Malaysia’s eCommerce industry.
Our challenge was getting Malaysians to sell and shop
online. SMEs had little knowledge about eCommerce,
while consumers were sceptical about security of online
shopping. To overcome these barriers, we rallied business
owners, partners and relevant government agencies, and
launched #MYCYBERSALE – Malaysia’s biggest online sale.
Despite the bleak economic outlook, #MYCYBERSALE 2015
recorded RM118 million in revenue with SME contribution
at 52%, overachieving MDEC’s ambitious targets of RM100
million and 50% contribution by SMEs. The campaign
earned RM1.06 million worth of unpaid media and became
the number one trending topic on social media.

CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS
PMS happens every month about a week before a woman’s
period and can be one serious limitation women face today.
Libresse, as a challenger brand in the feminine protection
category, recognized this, and came up with an idea to
expose this mysterious phenomenon. Speaking to both
women and men, we broke PMS down and show it is not so
bad.
That there are ways they can overcome this if they
embrace it, instead of dreading it. Hence, we changed the
perception of PMS being a tough time - by encouraging
women to have a lighter view of it.

CLEAR’s Pelangi Cinta business case exemplifies the fact
that how sometime marketing needs to distance itself from
the conventional approach, to connect with an audience
in the most meaningful manner. As CLEAR ditched its
shampoo credentials to build its brand connect.
Creating a provocative yet relevant entertainment series
that underscored the importance of ‘nothing to hide when
in love’, a sentiment of confidence that the brand thrives
on. Sure the brand managed to break ice, and accelerate
sales, but the most impactful measure of efficacy it
achieved is the ability to connect with Malaysian women at
a deeper emotional level without trying to sell hard.

was clear that we had to earn the audience’s trust back.
We positioned Polis Evo as the most highly anticipated
local film of all time.
Presenter
RAJA JASTINA ARSHAD
Head of Malay Marketing, Astro
It is thought that the decline in the cinema-going numbers
was largely due to the waiver in audience confidence
toward the quality of films, particularly being disappointed
by the glut of poor quality films that paled in comparison to
international releases. To ensure that our communications
were in-sync across the board, we had crafted weekly
themed directions that were adapted across all Astro
platforms. How could Polis Evo combat this declining trend
and revive the film industry?

RAJA JASTINA ARSHAD
Head of Malay Marketing, Astro
In the past year, Astro Gempak’s traffic has heavily relied
on seasonal TV content and news articles, resulting in
unpredictable and fluctuating numbers of unique visitors
and pageviews. This has prevented potential sponsors
from capitalising on a far-reaching, readily-available
platform. So how does Astro Gempak stabilise the number
of pageviews and ultimately attract advertisers to increase
revenue? To address this, we created stickiness with Astro
Gempak’s core audience. We launched a format that fits
the typical appetite of a Malaynnials (Malay + Millennials)—
The House, the first ever digital programme tailor-made for
Malaynnials, starring Malaynnials.

CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS
Most Malaysians only think about buying health insurance
when it’s too late. And even then, they’ll decide on the first
company that comes to mind. However, in 2014 a study
revealed a very serious health message - nearly 50% of
Malaysian adults were obese, highlighting a pressing issue
– getting Malaysians them to think about buying medical
insurance today to protect themselves better for tomorrow.
We knew publishing statistics or hiring a spokesperson
to deliver our message would make the whole thing not
genuine. We needed an unbiased approach that would get
through to them; straight to the heart!

CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS
Malays comprise almost 70% of the Malaysian population,
a huge market opportunity for Takaful considering current
penetration rate is only at 12% of the target market. The
overwhelming challenges are two fold - the prevalent
mindset that the system of conventional insurance is not in
accordance to Islamic principles, and that AIA did not have
affinity with the Malay Muslim in Malaysia.
Presenter
SYAHIDA AZUREEN
Strategic Planner, Leo Burnett/ ARC Worlwide
Using the powerful insight of Cubaan and Rezeki (that we
can plan but God decides on Trials and Blessings) and an
emotionally poignant film, we effectively also weaved in
AIA’s Real Life proposition with the message of “Life is a
constant flow of trials and blessings”. The campaign hit
home with the Malay community, with 1.4 million YouTube
views and 60.2% increase in sales.
