Media Prima Audio: Revolutionizing Brand Engagement Through Music and Experiential Marketing

Hot FM, Malaysia’s No.1 radio station, and Fly FM are leading the charge in creating immersive experiences for listeners, providing unparalleled opportunities for brands to connect with highly engaged and diverse audiences.

Hot FM marked a milestone with the Bekpes Hot 5km Fun Run, followed by the Malaysia Paling Best Piknik on September 15th, attracting 2,100 participants in just two days—far exceeding the initial target of 500.

This high-energy event not only engaged fitness enthusiasts and fans but also provided brands with significant exposure both on-ground and digitally. The campaign garnered over 4.1 million views and 202,815 total engagements, solidifying its position as a powerful experiential marketing platform.

Raja Khairil Idris Raja Aznan, Hot FM’s Content Director, highlighted the success of the event: The Bekpes Hot 5KM Fun Run is a milestone for Hot FM, strengthening connections with fans while promoting a healthy lifestyle. It also offers brands valuable on-ground and broadcast visibility, proving that Hot FM is not just a station to be heard, but a brand to be seen.

Meanwhile, Fly FM is leading the evolution of local music engagement through its latest initiative, announced at the Fly Malaysian English Music Forum on September 13th. The station is dedicating 25% of its playlist to Malaysian English music, providing brands with a unique opportunity to align with local talent that resonates with Malaysia’s youth and trendsetters.

The announcement video for this initiative has already garnered over 90,000 views, with fan and artist engagement reaching the thousands, highlighting the widespread excitement for this bold move.

In addition to this, Fly FM is launching a monthly artist showcase, offering seamless integration opportunities for brands through product placements and sponsorships, ensuring high visibility and deeper engagement.

This initiative, combined with the unveiling of the Fly Malaysia Awards, an annual event celebrating the best of Malaysian English music, presents brands the chance to connect with an audience passionate about local music and eager for authentic experiences.

“Fly FM is committed to giving Malaysian English music the platform it deserves,” said Seán Farrell Matjeraie, Fly FM’s Content Director. “This initiative opens up new avenues for brands to connect with audiences in fresh, meaningful ways.”

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.
