Getting inside your phone – how do Malaysian telcos do it?
30 Oct
Think you know your mobile internet providers?
Try answering some of these simple questions below:
Which telecommunications company (telco) was the first to launch and operate a fully digital cellular network?
Which Malaysian telco has operated since the year 1946?
The first provider to introduce video call in 2003 based on 3G technology, was?
Which telco has its majority stake owned by the third wealthiest person in Malaysia?
The answers are: Digi, ™ Berhad, Celcom Axiata
and Maxis respectively.
Whether you are part of the generation that
grew up without mobile phones or the generation that hasn’t known a time before
them, it’s hard to imagine how we got around without immediate internet access
through at our fingertips.
Each and every one of us who owns a mobile
phone is subscribed to a specific telecommunications company (telco) and
everywhere we go, we’re subconsciously marketed to a specific telco that
whether we like it or not — has influenced our decision in picking one.
What goes into the marketing plan of telco
companies that service the population of a whole country, is sales techniques,
strategies and an abundance of customer data to thrive in a competitive
environment.
One of the panel discussions at the Chief
Marketing Officer (CMO) Conference 2019 will be focusing on “Telco Marketing”.
The panel consists of marketing and branding leads from all four leading telcos
in Malaysia – Tai Kam Leong, Head of Branding and Partnerships Maxis; Lai Shu
Wei, VP uf Unifi Marketing & Communications of TM Berhad; Bernard Lee, Head
of Marketing Services from Digi and Fernie Jasmine Abdul Ghani, Head of Group
Marketing & Brand of Axiata.
The panel will be moderated by none other than
the Founder & Senior Partner of Entropia, Prashant Kumar.
Attend the CMO Conference taking place at Sime
Darby Convention Center on 15 November 2019 to listen to brains behind the
marketing campaigns you see all over the country. Learn from them the struggles
of managing brands in a highly competitive yet profitable industry and see if
you might have what it takes to be part of it.
