An Ang Pow that grows into a plant?

(marketingmagazine.com.my) –Maxis has recreated the the iconic money packet given out during the Chinese New Year festival.

The telco has launched Maxis’ Plant-a- Blessing Ang Pows, special red packets made from plantable seed paper. Each plantable ang pow is designed with a space for the ang pow giver to write a personal wish or blessing that the receiver can nurture and grow in the year ahead.

Planting the ang pow in soil and watering it with care activates the embedded seeds, which in turn sprouts into a flowering plant.

Specially for Chinese New Year, customers who purchase any new phones via the Maxis Online Store will receive a free set of Maxis plantable ang pows.

To accompany the Plant-A- Blessing Ang Pow promotion, Maxis released a touching film “The Money Grandma Owes Me”, in which a young boy learns that the most special gifts are actually those gifts that money cannot buy. The touching ad has already been viewed over 5,000 times on YouTube.

“Sometimes we focus too much on the money inside an Ang Pow, and less so on the spirit of giving, of wishing happiness to those we love. This year, we thought these Plant-A- Blessing AngPows could help remind people that wealthy are we who receive gifts that money cannot buy,” Sulin Lau, Head of Marketing Services shared.

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.
