FCB Malaysia wins Quaker Oats

PepsiCo Malaysia has appointed FCB to handle a major festive campaign for its Quaker Qats brand that’s scheduled to run for Malaysia later this year. FCB secured the win following a competitive pitch which saw a number of agencies take part.

Melinda Ong, Marketing Manager PepsiCo Malaysia said “FCB’s idea stood out with its sharp, insightful strategy that enabled us to deliver a clear, structured on-brand message via an engaging content for our intended audience.”

The agency’s scope of work originally consisted of advertising, social media and content creation but the remit was further expanded with FCB bringing on-board Go Communications as a specialist partner to handle PR duties.

This latest win builds on FCB’s growth momentum which saw the agency on-boarding a number of new clients in 2020 which included SP Setia, Berjaya Sompo, PERKESO, Bio-Life, and Tefal whilst also winning the pitch to retain the Desaru Coast account.

Shaun Tay Co-owner & CEO of the FCB Malaysia Group credits the wins to the agency’s hands-on approach and culture of determination “2020 wasn’t the best of years but thanks to the entire team putting in the hard yards, we still made it a profitable one and even achieved YOY growth. 

“Winning a storied brand like Quaker Qats allows us the opportunity to flex our FMCG prowess and importantly, keeps the momentum going.”

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
