The Dragons of Malaysia 2016 BIG winners

(Marketingmagazine.com.my) – Geometry Global Malaysia dominated the 5th ‘Dragons of Malaysia’ Programme with a record 5 Gold Dragons and Malaysia’s leading Marketing Communication Agency. The Agency also captured a ‘Dragons of Asia’ Gold Dragon for their Tiger Radler “Twistmas” Campaign.

The following are three Campaigns, which, according to Judges, really stood out this year:

– AIA by Leo Burnett & Arc Worldwide Malaysia that borrowed the age old School Report Card system. This time school kids rated the performance of the health of their parents, shocking them to seriously consider diet and exercise, leading to an increase in AIA’s medical insurance. The Campaign won a ‘Dragons of Malaysia’ Gold and a ‘Dragons of Asia’ Blue infinity Dragon for the Best Campaign in Malaysia, this year.

– Cause-met- art-met-technology with the ‘Bring to Light’ Campaign from Geometry Global Malaysia, challenging Malaysians to become more aware of the growing plight of stateless children, via a unique ‘electronic poster’. In a darkened room, each time supporters signed posters with a pen carrying conductive ink, a circuit was completed and hidden faces of homeless children were brought to light. Later, these images were auctioned to raise funds. The Campaign was so successful that it will be adopted throughout Asia. The campaign won A Gold ‘Dragons of Malaysia’ Winner for Geometry Global.

-Isobar Malaysia’s “PMS Factor” Campaign succeeded in owning a previously untapped territory of feminine protection, for the Libresse brand. The Campaign created 5 different types of behaviour characters, based on emotions that a woman will go through during their PMS: ‘Passionate Princess’, ‘Concern Caregiver’, ‘Foodie Finder’, ‘Sentiment Soul’ and ‘Capable Chief’.

Suggestions were then given as to how each ‘character’ could oust negative feelings during PMS. A sharing system allowed women to express their character to others, via social media, men included, with a chance to win Libresse Prizes. The Campaign is a winner of a ‘Dragons of Malaysia’ Gold Dragon.
