Another interesting one is a billboard featuring a chocolate sundae which comes with the words “Tinggi-tinggi Gunung Kinabalu”, the title of the iconic Sabahan song by Kimin Mudin.
The images of the billboards taken around Malaysia have received over 1,400 likes and shared over 2,000 times at the time of posting.

Many social media users were impressed with the images, with some commenting that the marketing team should also help Zoo Negara’s marketing campaign to attract more visitors.
McDonald’s Malaysia’s marketing director Eugene Lee told Marketing Magazine that there were 54 such billboards across Malaysia.
“McDonald’s Malaysia is always working towards localisation and that’s what inspired the billboards. It’s our take on localising the brand here,” said Lee.
Lee credited Leo Burnett for working on the visuals and ideas behind the campaign. McDonalds invested RM300,000 on this campaign.
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, 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.
