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.

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.

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.

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. Presenter CHAN WOEI HERN ECD, Ensemble WorldWide Presenter CHRYSSA OI WAN LAI Web Digital Social Specialist, Maxis 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.

BSN wanted to demonstrate that Malaysians have always been united. All we needed was a simple reminder. Presenter MARK DARREN LEE Co-Founder, Fishermen Integrated Presenter: PUSPA MARINA BINTI DATO' HAJI OMAR Senior Vice President, Head Strategic Communications, BSN 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.

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!

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.
