Fernie Jasmine Abdul Ghani
Head, Brand & Communications
Axiata Group
To call Fernie a trailblazer is definitely an understatement. Her record of firsts is only surpassed by her unstinting pursuit of the next big marketing revolution.
Her legacy of first-to-market products for Maxis, including WiFi, 3G and Blackberry spurred her to bigger, bolder achievements at Axiata Group. Within 3 months as the Head of Group Marketing & Brand, she orchestrated a Group-wide revitalisation on brand asset management by implementing a standardized Voice of Customer measurement comprising Brand Health Tracker, Social Listening and Net Promoter Score. Within 6 months, she helped put Axiata Group on the map, by securing Malaysia’s first-ever event venue naming rights launching Axiata Arena ahead of the 2017 SEA Games.
Fernie also transformed Axiata from a faceless, corporate entity, into an engaging, socially-responsible persona, launching Axiata’s Facebook presence and growing the fanbase to half a million followers within a year.
Her enterprising hard work did not go unnoticed and the management gave her the highest recognition with the CEO Award in 2018 and the Chairman’s Award in 2019.
From being the custodian of 10 Axiata brands across the region to the catalyst behind high-impact, award-winning campaigns, Fernie is a disruptive force in the marketing landscape.

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.
