My Client’s Startup Was Drowning, But AI Stepped In and Saved the Day

By Indhra Seghar 

You Won’t Believe How It Transformed Their Future

As an AI expert, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with countless entrepreneurs and startups.

But one story has stayed with me—a story of resilience, transformation, and the game-changing power of AI.

The Startup Struggle: Hope Fading Fast

It was three years ago when a young, dynamic Malaysian team reached out to me.

Their startup was on the brink of collapse.

They had started with fire in their eyes, full of ideas and hope.

But as months passed, that spark began to flicker.

Endless paperwork, elusive funding, and fierce competition had drained their energy and optimism.

They were hitting a breaking point.

Their product development had ground to a halt.

Their marketing efforts were falling flat.

Investors were backing away.

What was once a dream felt like an impossible fantasy, slipping through their fingers.

They were ready to give up. But then, in a last-ditch effort, they called me.

The AI Intervention: A Leap of Faith

At first, they were skeptical.

Wasn’t AI just for the big players?

How could it help a small, scrappy team like theirs?

But as I introduced them to AI’s potential, their doubt transformed into hope.

We delved into AI-powered tools—predictive analytics, personalised marketing strategies, automation solutions.

Suddenly, the challenges that seemed insurmountable began to shrink.

The possibilities were endless.

Turning the Tide: When AI Became Their Secret Weapon

With newfound clarity and confidence, they reimagined their entire business strategy.

AI pinpointed bottlenecks in product development, turning roadblocks into stepping stones.

Marketing efforts became targeted and effective, reaching the right audience with the right message at the right time.

Most critically, AI’s insights redefined their investor pitches, breathing life into their funding prospects.

The future that once seemed bleak was now bursting with possibility.

They weren’t just surviving—they were thriving.

A New Dawn: The Future Unfolds

Today, that startup is a force to be reckoned with.

They dared to believe that AI wasn’t just for the giants—it was for anyone with the courage to try.

And it’s not just them; I’ve seen this same story unfold across Malaysia, where young entrepreneurs are using AI to overcome their greatest hurdles.

This is why I’m eager to share these insights at my upcoming AI for Marketing, Media & Advertising Workshop.

Because AI isn’t just a tool—it’s a catalyst for dreams, a bridge over every challenge.

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, OTTDOOHinfluencer 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 keypartnerships 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.
