Here are some key pointers for entrepreneurs and non-marketing business leaders to help you improve your marketing strategy and hopefully get you the results you desire.

Having worked with various business leaders over the last year, i realised that many organisations are not achieving their full marketing potential as they are being held back by the leader’s mindset towards marketing.

On Revitalising

“Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) has refreshed its brand positioning to be more marketing-centric instead of merely being a certification body. For 25 years, MBR has been the only official national record keeper  and its team’s only function was to process and research applications. Jwan Heah, director, marketing solutions of Malaysia Book of Records told A+M that the brand has been a passive one and has not “optimised its 25-year brand history and resources.”
