They both exemplify the very best of modern thinking and classic craft with an understanding of new-age technology, and we’re excited to see them bring fresh perspectives to help us push the boundaries of brand planning.

“The last two years has seen us grow the team and expand our creative offerings and having well-respected, top talents like these will further help us deliver on this promise.”

“Besides our two new creative directors, we have also brought on board several senior art and copy talents. We have a very clear vision on where we are going as an agency, and this team helps us deliver on that vision to bring more energetic and evolutionary solutions to our clients,” adds Stanley.

Group Managing Director of Reprise, Darren Yuen adds, “At Reprise, we are constantly striving to reimagine the business success of brands, and our success sits solely in our integrated efforts.

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.
