FCB Malaysia promotes Syahriza Badron to general manager

FCB Malaysia has promoted Syahriza Badron to General Manager effective November 2020. Syahriza (or Syah as she’s commonly known) has been with FCB since 2013 when she joined as an associate account director and has risen through the ranks to her former designation as Head of Business Development.

In her new role, Syah will lead all account management operations for the agency while retaining her existing business development portfolio.

“FCB’s strength has always been in its clearly defined purpose and culture – we are Malaysia’s challenger agency for a reason and that’s why I am incredibly honoured to take on this role as there’s no better time to challenge one’s self than now,” Syah said. “I am excited about the opportunities ahead of us; be it in business, partnerships, talent development or even in making us a more efficient operating organisation.”

“Syah has been a massive part of FCB consistent success since the management buyout 3 years ago,” Co-owner & CEO of FCB Malaysia, Shaun Tay said. “The dedication and steadfastness she brings to the agency every day is an inspiration to us all and I’m proud to see her take a greater role in building our agency’s future.”

Recently, the FCB Malaysia had a stellar showing at the 2020 A+M Malaysia Agency of the Year Awards winning 9 agency titles including being named Malaysia’s Branding & Design Agency of the Year and CRM & Loyalty Marketing Agency of the Year.

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.
