“The MAA has always played an advocacy role on behalf of advertisers in Malaysia, engaging the various Ministries and Regulatory Bodies, as well as fellow industry stakeholders; from media owners, media and creative agencies and digital players, to ensure that the channels of communication and cooperation are always active in the pursuit for a conducive environment for brands to thrive without compromising consumers’ rights.
This is something we hope to build on in the coming term as the past couple of years has restricted greater working relations somewhat” . Navin said in a statement.
“The MAA will be reaching out to other trade associations too, and seek opportunities to work together on initiatives that can benefit the industry, especially the SME sector which is critical to the growth of the economy.,” he added.
MAA was found in 1964 as the single body representing the interest of advertisers in all areas of commercial communications. The industry body represents 60 major advertisers with a collective ad spend of about RM 5 billion.
