(Marketingmagazine.com.my) –  By: Malati Siniah

Veteran journalist R. Nadeswaran, better known as “Citizen Nades” thanks to his longstanding column in The Sun, shocked many when he announced his retirement yesterday on his Facebook page.

The award-winning journalist who has been in The Sun for 17 years has never been afraid to speak his mind. Celebrated for raising the bar in journalism Nades has received numerous awards including excellence in editorial by ADOI and Kancil’s Media Personality of 2009.

In his Facebook post Nades thanked his supporters and shared that his next project would be to publish his book “Curi Curi Malaysia – the stories behind the stories” slated to launch in February.

Responding to MARKETING’s queries on if he would still continue to his column, be it online or on print Nades shared,

“I have not decided anything yet. The book is a priority and after that, a bit of travelling. “

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.
