This week we visited AirAsia’s brand new office, located roughly 10 minutes away from KLIA2. The 18,000sqm office space is home to over 2,000 of AirAsia’s staff or better known as Allstars. The company announced its new office christened RedQ, short for RedQuarters, late last year and in December they packed up their bags to move into their new home. 

A trip up onto the elevator brings us to the main workspace located on the fourth floor. As the doors open AirAsia’s numerous awards are on show, reminding visitors and staff of their achivements.

Entering into the main office space feels a bit disorientating, the scorching heat from outside is replaced with the cool blast of aircon against the office’s metal interior. Pockets of spaces covered in carpet grass bring the outdoors indoors, providing staff with a comfortable space to socialise and brainstorm.

Reminding AirAsia’s staff of the exotic locations the airlines flies to the airline built each of its meeting rooms to reflect the countries it covers.

Encouraging staff to not only work hard but also play hard, RedQ is fully equipped with gym facilities for instructors to conduct various classes including yoga and boot camp.

The one thing that surprised me the most during the visit is when I saw where AirAsia’s Group CEO Tony Fernandes sits. A simple workspace with no frills Tony sits together with his team surrounding him.

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.
