The one advert that invokes nostalgia for me is “Tan Hong Ming”, an advert by PETRONAS that was aired along side Malaysia’s Independence Day in 2007. It brings me again to my main faculty days when life was less complicated and all of the variations that would divide us later in maturity didn’t appear to exist or at the least didn’t appear so obvious.
That advert taught me one thing about marketing that has solely develop into more true in the present day. When speaking an concept, authenticity and ease works. Especially in in the present day’s post-pandemic world, individuals look to manufacturers to be clear and real. There is not any want to cover behind the surrealism of an ideal world. The world isn’t excellent, we all know that. Instead, be actual, champion one thing, and make an influence.

Many of us bear in mind the heart-warming festive ads by the late Yasmin Ahmad that stole hearts and had us ready in anticipation for the subsequent competition, simply to get a style of her genius. Her instrumental work for PETRONAS’ sequence for Merdeka and festive ads set the development for manufacturers to attraction to the rakyat by means of the primary theme of energy in unity and variety.
The thought-provoking ads allowed us to look at ourselves and one another to domesticate extra harmonious dwelling in multicultural Malaysia. This has formed my view of how manufacturers develop into important whereas connecting to shoppers in significant methods.

For me, a nostalgic advert can be M1’s “I’m strolling on sunshine”. The greatest content material communicates a novel proposition that addresses buyer desires by means of a particular model voice – The Sun icon – symbolising its near-complete 99.9% community protection, cheerful orange hue, coupled with the uplifting track by Katrina & The Waves. That’s the right recipe for constructing a profitable, well-loved underdog model. Here’s a shout out to my then mentor, David Tang of DDB Worldwide. It’s nonetheless among the finest manufacturers I’ve labored on.

There are many iconic ads that I recall rising up as a child within the 80’s and 90’s and one among my favourites remains to be this Carlsberg advert.
Carlsberg’s jingle was extensively used throughout all mediums, be it on TV, cinema or radio. Along with it, “The Long Cool Dane” was such a memorable tagline. And this was the facility of a jingle that I later utilized in my profession in Nestlé Ice-Cream in addition to in INTI. A jingle used constantly creates an impression for a model that permits it to resonate throughout the years if used constantly. Think Mat Kool, Paddle Pop as jingles that have stood the check of time.
