Dragons of Malaysia & Asia 2017 winners announced!

On Wednesday in Kuala Lumpur, winners of the Dragons of Malaysia and Asia were announced at a glittering ceremony which also saw winners from across Asia in attendance.

This biscuit campaign proved a tasty treat for Geometry Global Malaysia, winning double Category Gold in the 2017 Dragons of Malaysia, as well as Category Gold Dragon and the Best Campaign in Malaysia Blue Dragon in the 2017 Dragons of Asia!

Mamee, a well loved Malaysian snack brand, launched Mamee Monster Biskidz, a biscuit fortified with DHA, vitamins and calcium, as a tasty snack for kids. However agency, Geometry Global Malaysia needed to convince parents that a snack could also be healthy, and to involve kids who were constantly distracted by more ‘indulgent’ snacks.

The agency created “Kuasai i Mamee ginasi” intended to trigger a child’s imagination via cartoons, leveraging their ability to make anything seem possible in their magical realms of make believe. But which cartoon?

The agency enlisted support from the popular Malaysian animated character, Ejen Ali, a gadget swinging Super Spy. With Mamee Monster as his side kick, this duo turned problems like homework or bullies, into obstacles to overcome.

Challenges were resolved with ‘out of this world’ creativity, aired on TV during kids peak viewing time. Mamee Monster was also featured on the Ejen Ali Gaming Platform, creating more involvement across TV and gaming screens.

Mothers were engaged online with posts and footage on various social media platforms, explaining the DHA benefits of Monster Biskidz. 

The agency knew that government support would lend tremendous credibility to Mamee Monster Biskidz, but a stamp of approval wasn’t going to be easy. 

The Malaysian Ministry of Education was extremely supportive of the efforts to provide a healthy nutritious snack for children and gave their seal of approval. 

Mamee Monster Biskidz was then distributed to school canteens, a channel other brands struggled to acquire. 

The Mamee Monster Biskidz launch exceeded all expectations with a strong market share in the total plain sweet biscuits category achieving a solid number 2 and a few months later, a best in class for repeat purchase position. 

A biscuit can be tasty and nutritious, at the same time!

The 31st MAA Worldwide GLOBES, launching October 30.

Last year, all Red, Blue, Gold, Silver & Bronze Dragons of Asia winners and all Gold, Silver & Bronze Dragons of Malaysia winners were eligible to enter the 50th year Marketing Agencies Association Worldwide MAA GLOBES, representing their companies and countries, against winners of other award programmes from Brazil, Canada, USA, UK, Russia, Japan, Australia and of course APAC, via the Dragons.

Our 2016 Dragons winners won a collective 11 GLOBES Trophies, including 4 Gold GLOBES and their campaigns are now published on warc.com via a partnership between WARC and the PMAA Dragons of Asia. 

This year’s Dragons Trophy winners will again be eligible to enter the 31st MAA GLOBES
, for a separate Entry Fee of US$250, paid to MAA Worldwide. The Dragons Secretariat will contact all eligible winners. 

The Dragons and GLOBES entry sites are both cloned, so it’s easy as transferring campaigns over.  

Winners don’t need to do anything else. For more information contact: [email protected]

 


 

Let’s cut to the chase: the Digital Revolution is fuelled by how marketing helps monetise it. 

There is no such thing as a free lunch. That’s why game-changing inspiration can always be found 

on the front lines of the marketing and media playbook. There’s never been a more exciting time to 

be in marketing: e-commerce, personalisation, big data, brand safety, walled gardens and more. 

This Conference will show marketers how to take ownership of this future, and how to dance their way through this digital turf war where everyone has an opinion. 

Whatever your take on the future… Marketing is the new Sexy!

Date: 16 October, 2017

Venue: Grand Ballroom, Sime Darby Convention Centre Jalan Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. 

Time: 8.30am – 5.30pm

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, OTTDOOHinfluencer 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 keypartnerships 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.
