APPIES Malaysia, organised by MARKETING Magazine, came back strong in its second year with a total of 17 awards given out today to the most effective campaigns in Malaysia.
The two-day festival hosted 30 senior marketers from the advertising fraternity including Chai Hui Fung, Regional Marketing Director, Nando’s Chickenland Malaysia, Foong Ai Peng, Head of Media and Budget Management, Maxis, Maud Meijboom-van Wel, Marketing Director, Heineken Malaysia Berhad and more.
A total of 10 gold, 6 silver and 1 best presenter awards were awarded to the 54 shortlisted campaigns who presented their cases over the two days. Maxis, KFC and McDonald’s were among the gold winners who were successful in presenting and defending their campaign to the judges.
Following this year’s theme of ‘Fame starts here’, presenters who hoped to kick-start their winning streak had to follow an interactive 4-6-15 format, where they had to show a 4-minute creative reel summarising their campaign, present and justify their campaign in a 6-minute presentation and finally field questions about the campaign from the judges and audience for 15-minutes.
Attendees and presenters alike applauded the festival format sharing how the awards show served as a learning platform for those within the industry.
“This open concept adopted by the APPIES gives delegates and participants a holistic view of what is important to different individuals when it comes to evaluating a campaign. It’s great that you even give us delegates a chance to ask questions during the presentations,” Jay Murali, Account Director at the Wizard’ Room shared.
His favourite presenter of the day was the winner of the APPIES best presenter award Stanley Clement, Managing Director for Social & Digital at IPG Mediabrands Malaysia.
“I really enjoyed his presentation, truly it felt more like a conversation and his points were well thought out” Jay added.
APPIES Malaysia is organised by MARKETING Magazine and is sponsored by MDEC and Fried Chillies. The event supported by MalayMail, BFM, New StraitsTimes, RUP, The Edge Financial Daily, The Edge Malaysia, Digital News Asia, SME Magazine, IAA, IAS, PiXiO, OnTarget, R3, Eastin Hotel, Go Communication and MARKETING INC.
Congratulations to the winning brands!

MARKETING Magazine is not responsible for the content of external sites.
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.
