Petronas makes us count our blessings!

(Marketingmagazine.com.my) –  Leo Burnett continues to touch the hearts of all Malaysians with its latest PETRONAS festive web film titled ‘Rubber Boy’.

The web film drew its inspiration from Malaysian values which is about counting our blessings to inspire prosperity and happiness.

‘Rubber Boy’ revolves around the relationship between a mother and her son, capturing facets of their relationship during his childhood.

The web film carries a powerful message, ie. happiness lies in the blessings around us.

“While it may be easy to want what others have, we need to remember we are blessed in our own way and it is important to appreciate what we have,” says James Yap, Creative Director at Leo Burnett Malaysia.

“We believe this story relates to all of us. We are guilty of this at one point or another, where in chasing our dreams, we lose sight of what’s important – our loved ones.

We hope ‘Rubber Boy’ will inspire Malaysians to take a minute to appreciate their greatest blessings,” adds James.

According to Fitri Mydin, Head of Campaign Management at PETRONAS “We are an organisation rooted in Malaysian values and traditions. Leo Burnett Group Malaysia understands this and creatively turned these values and traditions into inspiring stories.”The campaign also includes crowd-sourcing social engagement ideas where a series of comic illustrations will be developed based on Malaysians’ very own Greatest Blessing stories.

Malaysians can submit their Greatest Blessings entries on #greatestblessing or www.petronasofficial.com/festive/cny2016

Submissions are open until 15 February 2016.

PETRONAS has been a client of Leo Burnett Group Malaysia for almost two decades.

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.
