𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 Last year, I worked in a public relations role and had the privilege of writing the speech and emcee script for The Michelin Guide Kuala Lumpur and Penang 2024 Ceremony. Here is what I would recommend to craft a winning speech for your brand ceremony. 📌Consider the culture you are in; because the ceremony was honouring restaurants in Malaysia, I started the speech with a greeting in the local language. This makes the audience feel warm because now they know you care about a core part of who they are, and you are not just there to talk about your business. 📌In the body of the speech, include some honouring facts about the people or country that you are in. For instance, in the speech I wrote, I highlighted how Malaysia is known for its various cuisines that are passed down from one generation to the next and praised the listeners for their rich culinary history. 📌Discuss why the ceremony is important for people's lives, the environment, or the industry. 📌 Conclude the speech with a powerful statement about what your brand stands for and how those values complement the event. 📌Mention all dignitaries such as sponsors. Are you crafting any type of publicity speech or material soon? Follow me for more tips on presentation, scriptwriting, speech crafting and content creation. Also, let me know your thoughts in the comment section. Happy writing.

Keep your ideal audience wanting more with this ⬇️ Let me share the key to attracting starving crowds through my recent experiences in Malaysia 😊 This is Jalan Alor. In the 80s, it was well known as a red light district but now it’s one of Kuala Lumpur’s top food culinary destinations (to makan A.K.A eat). It underwent several face lifts to cater for the increasing population with small eateries, fruit stalls and hawker stalls. Delicious street food, desserts and fruits like durian and jackfruit with lines of people looking to get fed. While I was there, I went not once but 3 times! What could you learn from this to help you with marketing, sales and business development? ➡️ When you’ve built a community of interest based followers all you need to do is show up and there will be people wanting what you have. ➡️ Selling becomes easy when they know you have what you need. ➡️ Your business will grow when you adapt. You can’t expect great results doing the same thing. In this case tailoring to the past market 😅 Overall, how you brand yourself is what people will see, feel and experience. Make sure it memorable and inspiring And always tailor to you clients needs and make them aware of the painpoint to move them to buy 🙌 Follow me Kanji Low for more business, branding and mindset tips ❤️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗼 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀, 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀! 💎 #AI #socialmediamarketing #personaldevelopment #business #businesscoaching

It’s Ice Kacang lahh… senang jer! Wow! Just like this Ice Kacang or fondly known in Malaysia as ABC 🍧. I like it a lot especially on a hot day like this season’s noon time 🌞. A foundation of grass jelly, cendol and nata de coco, filled with a mountain of shaved ice, add sides of red bean paste, more green cendol, “radioactive pink colored” sago strands, and charcoal roasted peanuts, layered with gula melaka, rose syrup, coconut milk, skimmed milk and finally topped up with yellow cream corn. How’s that for the recipe, huh?! Sedappppp weiiii! As I savored and devoured the ABC, it got to me 💡 ! Recipe… you need all the ingredients to make a perfect ABC. Anything less and that means needs improvements next round. This resonates very much with me as a person, may it be personal life or at work. As I walk the journey, multiple experiences present itself and it’s for me to savor them, practice the good and learn not to repeat the bad. As I develop myself to work better, to improve my skillsets, to grow my network, to deepen my knowledge, it’s a recipe that evolves with time. Just like the ABC, when you have developed an employee to the state of “level dewa” it will get harder to retain such talent. Ongoing and further growth is needed for this person, including close engagement and future opportunities. Which ingredients to add on, maybe a bigger bowl? And oh, by the way, the next-door stall is eyeing your “god level” performer yah! 🚩 “…when my staff leave, I hire lagi lah. Apa susah? Peanuts lah! Hire a new guy lah!” You think that’s Ice Kacang? Read from the top again. 🤣 Let’s eat ABC, nice weiiii!! #hiringright #employeeretention #backofficesimplified StarBPO Malaysia

We think that every Malaysian (or even Asian) would at least have one memory of going to a night market. It’s not an understatement that this is a breeding ground for micro and small entrepreneurs and also a place where they can meet with the community and promote their products or services. While some might think it’s easy to manage and operate a stall, but if you take into account the high number of customers coming in and out, you need to have a high level of competentcy in term of pulling in customers, serving them and delivering their orders. Imagine having 10 customers talking to you at once, demanding personal attention, you would either need to split yourself in 10 or have at least 2-3 people to manage orders. At Lorong Belakang, we take that to the next level. Our 4000+ vendors have the chance to serve around 18,000 customers per week. On top of that, if you truly want to take the challenge, you can also open up at 3 locations simultaneously; Cyberjaya, Dengkil and Kuala Lumpur, increasing your reach and revenue. Here’s a snapshot of our culture. Take a look, and if you have time, come and experience our fresh take on a local favourite: https://lnkd.in/g5Wbns4y

Mew Suppasit is Lifestyle Asia Kuala Lumpur's August Cover Star Suppasit may be well-known for his roles in commercials, music videos, and his recurring roles in hit Thai television series, but what audiences may not know about him, he tells us, is that "I had to study engineering first. It's like a compromise with my family, they wanted me to be either a doctor or engineer." As it happens, the actor is currently pursuing his PhD in Industrial Engineering from Chulalongkorn University.

Navigating PR in hospitality? Think of it as juggling coffee cups while walking a red carpet – exhilarating, unpredictable, and occasionally, a little messy. Some days, it feels like you’re decoding the matrix, balancing media relations, partnerships, and crisis control without breaking a sweat (or at least not showing it). Other days? It’s like trying to convince the weather to behave for an outdoor event – you’ve got strategy, but surprises always tag along. When PR is done right, though, it’s more than just press releases and news coverage. It becomes the invisible thread that connects experiences – making every guest interaction a little more meaningful, every hotel story a little more vibrant. It’s about setting the stage for the magic to happen and then quietly stepping back to let others shine. The secret sauce? A dash of creativity, a good dose of patience, and knowing that relationships, not quick wins, are the real currency. Every press pitch, event, and message sent out into the world has the potential to inspire trust, loyalty, and belonging. For every PR pro out there – whether you’re chasing the next media placement or spinning a new brand story – remember, you’re shaping narratives that stick. Hospitality thrives on connection, and your work is at the heart of it. Keep going, keep creating, and never forget: Every well-timed story makes someone’s experience just a little bit better. 📍 Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre (HIJBCC) SKS Hospitality #PRWorld #HospitalityMatters #WhereYouBelong #ShapingStories

Lunch is served! Connecting with others nowadays has become more creative since the pandemic started. With the right technology, you do not need to leave your home to get to know another person or enjoy sharing life stories with them. But one powerful thing remains the same - it is undeniably effective when you make social ties over food and drinks! Last November 11-22, Risk Services and Risk Transformation Manila had the privilege to be visited by our Heads from COO Risk, Pieter Plas and Usman Iftikhar. Aside from sharing the year’s milestones together in a townhall held on the first week of their visit, we also got a chance to meet them up close and personal while dining together in Makati. Spontaneously, we got a glimpse of who they are, what they enjoy doing and the things we like in common such as dancing, singing and enjoying our comfort food. We also got to know other employees who we have not worked with before, which made us aware of the strings that bind us in the work that we do for COO Risk. Not only that everyone gained more energy and spirit from the food shared but we also went home with the warmth of generosity for the time and attention extended to us by our leaders. We also want to thank our Manila leadership team Arman King Millar, Caroline Guadana and Boris Romero for allowing us to have this unique experience. Surely, this is just a start of creating pocket spaces where everyone feels more at ease, seen and heard. #DoYourThing #LifeatING #COORisk #ServiceOrg #SharedMoments 🥂🥗🍨
