Announcement from APPIES Malaysia President

As the season for The APPIES Malaysia Marketing Campaigns Awards 2021 gets into full swing, we have been receiving many requests from contenders who missed out last year.

One of the concerns has been that last year was a difficult year for all, and hence an abnormal one when it came to collating entries.

With 2020 being a major COVID year, some brands could not submit for APPIES because their campaign results (a key factor in our judging criteria) were not available in time because of the lockdown.

As such, and after consulting with APPIES Principals in Singapore, we have decided to make an exception and extend the campaign eligibility period for this year.

The new eligibility period for APPIES Malaysia 2021 is for campaigns that have run during January 2020 – May 2021.

I hope this allows more brands to be able to make it for our entry deadline on April 16, and will reflect a holistic representation of the year 2020 at our Awards.

You can enter your submissions here: https://appieawards.awardsengine.com/

Thank you and have a great week ahead.

Respectfully,
Prof Harmandar Singh
President – APPIES Malaysia

*Campaigns that were submitted in previous APPIES cannot be re-entered.

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.
