On the 3rd day of Ramadhan, we come bearing good news. After a flurry of emails and calls requesting for an extension, we are officially extending the deadline for APPIES Malaysia 2021 to 28 April 2021.
The organising committee is doing this based on the heavy response from agencies that are keen to take part. As many are still racing to prepare their respective pitches, it seems appropriate to extend the deadline. This ensures all the agencies have ample time to be fully prepared to be at their very best.

Now in its fifth year, APPIES Malaysia is distinctly competitive with its 4-5-3 campaign presentation format. Each presentation begins with a 4-minute showreel video summarising the campaign, followed by a live 5-minute exposition of the campaign’s key highlights by the brand’s marketers/campaign creators. Then comes the interactive 3-minute session where each campaign will be cross-examined by a panel of judges.
Our panel of over 35 judges are made up of the the creatives leads from the industry and will be analysing each shortlisted campaign in a live judging event. Full service web agency, Thoughtbubble UK is partnering with APPIES 2021 and the agency which specialises in engineering awards platforms, is working with APPIES Malaysia to create a seamless experience for APPIES award submissions and online judging.
Similar to TED Talks, APPIES is the chance for great presenters with outstanding work to show it off to some of Malaysia’s most important industry leaders. Winners for APPIES 2021 will receive Gold, Silver or Bronze trophies for 10 brand new categories, and 7 special Best of Best categories (red trophies) that require no submissions.

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.
