WELCOME TO YOUNG SPIKES MALAYSIA 2021
Malaysia wins Best in Asia!
In 2019, the Young Spikes Malaysia Gold winning team went on to win the Best Digital team at Spikes Asia. So give your younger teams a chance for regional fame by entering this year.
I am particularly excited for Young Spikes Malaysia 2021 because this is where it all begins for the future masterminds of creative, marketing, digital, PR and media.
So what exactly is Young Spikes Malaysia?
To put it in the simplest of words – it’s ‘The Apprentice’ on steroids.
The Young Spikes Malaysia Competitions offer professionals from creative, marketing, digital, PR and media a unique chance to gain recognition and make their mark on the industry.
In teams of two, the entrants race against the clock to prepare a pitch for a charity or sponsor brief and win a Gold, Silver or Bronze medal.
Gold winners get to compete on the Asian stage in Young Spikes Asia Pacific Competition to be held in 2022.

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.
