ESCAPE into content marketing with Celcom

(Marketingmagazine.com.my) – Celcom Axiata Berhad, is all set to entertain its customers with its experimental new genre of short, quick entertainment through the all-new 13 episode mini-web series – Ceciter: Projek Cari Bini, via ESCAPE, Celcom’s personal entertainment space, that can be viewed directly on their mobile devices.

The series begins with the flashback of a dream that war veteran, Daud Bade (Wan Hanafi Su) has, where he dreams that his late wife bestows upon him to find a new and young wife. Troubled by loneliness for many years, yet driven by passion and ambition to fulfil his quest for true-love, Daud Bade then embarks on a journey. Along the way, he encounters numerous trials and challenges which include his old nemesis, Abe Wan Kenopi (Sabri Yunus), and those that test and eventually fire him up to seek happiness.

Daud Bade (Wan Hanafi Su) listens intently to Pok Da (Badrul Kerdil) on how he can reach his new-wife to be.

Ceciter: Projek Cari Bini features a prominent Malaysian cast like Shafiq Kyle, Issey Titan, Ika Nabella, Ariff Sumbu and many more. The 13 episode mini-web series will run via ESCAPE for two months with its first and second episode released on 11 March, complimentary for ESCAPE customers.

Subsequently, the third episode will be released on 18 March, followed with a new episode released every Monday and Wednesday.
