TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference 2018 to Take Social Media Beyond Simple Information Sharing.

April 03, 2018 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- The TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference is a tactical conference to be held on the 25-26th of April 2018 in Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur, and to take social media beyond simple information sharing.

The Social Media Innovation Conference is targeted toward key decision makers and C-levels within companies from all industries, and will cover 20+ different tactical areas of social media, including everything from video marketing, to social media ROI, to chatbots, to user-generated content, to data and analytics.

Social media is giving Southeast Asia brands new ways to engage in 2018. The TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference 2018 highlights key trends in the region that brands should be well aware of as they seek meaningful reach and interact with new and existing customers. While Facebook Live and vertical video ads are relatively new on the scene, the formats are already seeing tremendous user popularly and success. User engagement with brands on Instagram is currently 10 times higher than on Facebook and 54 times higher than on Twitter. Social storytelling is becoming more informal. It’s increasingly the norm for brands to be active on mediums like Snapchat, Instagram Stories, Facebook Live – places where social storytelling is informal and direct.

Teaming up with the region’s forward thinking and innovative organisation, TalentCap is pleased to welcome on-board the SME Association of Malaysia (SMEAM) as a Strategic Partner at the Social Media Innovation Conference 2018.

The SME Association of Malaysia (SME Malaysia) was established in 1995 with the key objective of assisting the development of SMEs to make the sector one of the engines of economic growth.

Since its inception, SME Malaysia has organized various international conferences, seminars, award programmes, and educational and capacity-building programmes to educate, elevate, and provide exposure to members of the Association and the SME community at large. The Association actively engages in advocacy and consultation with key Government ministries and agencies to provide feedback on issues affecting SMEs.

Dato’ Michael Kang, the President of SME Malaysia highlights, “It is well-known fact that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often lag behind when it comes to technology adoption, either due to the lack of financial means or human resources. Due to lack of expertise, SMEs don’t know how to go about going digital and they can only depend on their staff or someone else to do it for them and even if they have a website, they don’t really utilize it.”

The Strategic Partnership between SME Malaysia and TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference 2018 is another initiative of promoting a great platform for the SME community to leverage on the power of digital marketing for elevating businesses to a new horizon in the age of digital economy.

Keynote speaker Dheeraj Raina, Managing Director at AdParlor presents the topic “The Future of Social Media Marketing and What It Takes to Win!” AdParlor has accumulated partnerships with Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube, DBM & Pinterest since its inception. Very recently, AdParlor has been rebranded to ada as part of an attempt to plug its capabilities beyond just its digital marketing platform. The platform, which is owned by AdKnowledge in a joint venture with the Malaysian telco Axiata, will now house its data science, technology, creative divisions under the name ada. AdParlor will now serve as a product under the ada umbrella.

Dheeraj highlights, “Southeast Asian consumers are far ahead in the tech and digital adoption and are pushing advertisers to catch up. Our markets are fast turning into mobile and digital first markets and in need of a hyper personalized digital marketing approach. It is time to think People based marketing as mainstream marketing.”

Dheeraj’s keynote shares tactical insights on what should you care for as a social media advertiser in this world full or disruptions? Why is programmatic marketing growing so fast & what are the opportunities for marketers? How to task every digital media spend on brand and business outcomes? Why the need to evaluate your social media ROI – How to ask the RIGHT questions and measure to get buy-in?

Keynote speaker Andy Clark, VP & Managing Director at Tealium presents the topic “Why a Customer Centric Focus Means Ownership of Your Data Supply Chain.” Tealium powers the new era of real-time customer engagement and marketing, enabling global businesses to unlock their customer data and create more meaningful, relevant customer experiences. Tealium is backed by top venture investors; Bain Capital Ventures, Battery Ventures, Georgian Partners, Presidio Ventures, Tenaya Capital.

Andy highlights, “Organizations leverage multiple martech solutions, channels and marketing initiatives in the hopes of being able to reach their audience in a variety of ways. Massive amounts of behavioral profile data is collected at each of these touchpoints, which is extremely valuable in driving better decision making around audience and individual targeting. The challenge is that most brands aren’t able to effectively connect all of the data they are receiving, and thus, aren’t able to create a single view of their customer. Brands who have successfully instituted a customer-at-the- center mandate within their business, by connecting their disparate data sources, are seeing powerful results in their now customer-centric campaigns and strategies.” Andy’s keynote shares tactical insights on how and why having a robust data strategy differentiates you from other brands.

Panel speaker Eve Fong, E-Commerce Manager at Nestlé Nespresso highlights “Many businesses still see their social media platforms as a one way messaging channel, treating them very much like print or worse, a bulletin board. The common line of thought here is that social media is ‘digital’ therefore they can post a message they want out very quickly. This is, of course as we know, pointless, given that organic reach is continuously dropping not to mention, it goes against the nature of what social media and the social community is all about. This also means that when the marketing department evaluates a social media proposal or approves content, they are not evaluating based on the right objectives and goals.”

Eve additionally comments “Also another common mistake is to treat social media as merely a channel similarly to offline channels rather than understanding that it is crucial to have a social media strategy along with a comprehensive plan which should include the social media marketing plan, communication plan, content calendar and last but not least, a social media crisis management plan. Many a successful brand has found themselves in the middle of a social media crisis simply because one ill-advised employee managing their social platforms has given the wrong reply at a crucial time.”

Keynote speaker Casie Lane Millhouse-Singh at Two Lane presents the topic “The Death of the Email: Messaging Apps and Chatbots.” Casie is the Director at Two Lane, an agency specialising in Facebook & Instagram Ads to drive ROI for growing companies and brands using the best-in-class targeting abilities in the digital ad market.

Casie highlights, “The era of email marketing is over. In some markets they are dying a slow death. In others, they are already dead. And it doesn’t matter how much money you spend creating these campaigns, how well they are designed or what type of headline you try now. A dead duck…. is a dead duck. So that’s the bad news. The good news? Well, just like CDs have been replaced. Email has been replaced by messaging apps and platforms. Lots of different businesses are using chatbots on messaging platforms and one can be right for you.”

Casie’s keynote shares tactical insights on Chatbots = what are the success stories, challenges and opportunities? How storytelling within messaging apps holds its own in today’s frantic media landscape. How to deliver pragmatic and effective mobile-first solutions on a tight budget. Chat Bot Etiquette even humans should all live by.

The conference feature includes a deep dive workshop facilitated by Sweta Patel, a renown trainer who has coached more than 200 startups in the Silicon Valley, US. At the conference, Sweta facilitates the workshop topic “How B2B and B2C Use Instagram to Win New Customers”

Sweta highlights “Instagram is growing up and taking over the channels with a storm. The word says Instagram is only for millennials but it is far from it. Most businesses are using Instagram to generate leads and convert them into paying customers (if done the right way).”

Sweta will share the step-by-step method of exactly how she grew her Instagram account from 13 to 80,000 followers in one year. She didn’t buy followers, didn’t pay for likes, and wasn’t lucky enough to be sponsored by Instagram. She’s completely transparent about everything she did so you can takeaway an actionable strategy. Sweta shares actionable insights on you can explore the Instagram hacks that can save you time and money.

OneWorld Real Estate Announces Core Values to Boost 2018 Game Plan

OneWorld Real Estate unveils core values for creating positive impact and improved performance organization-wide.

March 13, 2018 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- OneWorld Real Estate has always considered a two-way communication to be the foundations of a strong organization. To foster solid relationships among team members through building a shared culture and a community of the same belief system, they have determined their 4 core values that will be the driving force of their organization across all agents.

Aptly acronymed LPPD, OneWorld Real Estate designed these core values with their mission and vision in mind:

Loving – A loving heart should be the center of everything they do from intentions and motivations to actions and decisions. At the end of the day, love will guide a person to make the right call for the better good every time.
Passionate – Essential to the real estate industry, an agent needs to be passionate about what they do to be able to push boundaries and pull through despite all the low moments in their career. To be successful, a person needs to endure and not give up easily.
Positive – Attitude is everything and a positive one can lead a person out of dark times. A positive person is happier, more resilient, a better decision-maker, and performs at a higher level.
Disciplined – Successful people are those who make a habit of doing what unsuccessful people don’t like to do. The ability to live a good life is controlled by each person and with a strong discipline, one can always push through and move to a greater height.

Webist Solutions : Starting with A Quality Web Design

Wishing to have a good quality web design? Webist Solutions is a web development company that will help in realizing your dream. Approach us to get your website done!

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, March 07, 2018 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- Businesses tend to renovate their websites once in awhile due to one reason or another through a high possibility is to improve sales performance. However, the common scenario is that businesses are too rush on creating a brand new website and failed to consider what their new website design is going to do for them holistically. In fact, there are several parts of digital marketing strategy that needs to be taken into account to come out with a good quality web design. So let’s see how these elements could complement with one another and what impact they would trigger on the website design and in turn spurring digital marketing campaign up and running.

So let’s start with SEO. Usually, businesses would want to have a design makeover for their websites due to the fact that their websites do not meet the requirement for ranking high in Google search engine. The first thing that comes to mind when dealing with such case would be incorporating every element deemed necessary to have a high position on the Google search results page.

What elements need to be inserted into the websites exactly? Well if you are familiar with Google Adwords then you probably will be familiar with the keyword planner. So what’s the use of keyword planner? It allows you to search for keywords relevant to your business which is commonly searched by online users. So when you are generating contents for the newly redesigned website, write contents with the keywords you found. One thing worth to note is that websites nowadays tend to have duplicate contents. It is so common nowadays especially after the introduction of Panda people are spending countless time eliminating all the duplicated contents. The occurrence of such scenario is prominent in news pages and blog posts where the contents are actually being sourced out from some other sites or in the case of eCommerce sites, the product description pages are almost similar due to same products being sold and little difference is observed to make any significant changes. Hence be sensitive enough in writing your own contents, not to ‘overuse’ other sites’ contents on a large scale.

User Experience (UX)

A good design of your website includes easy navigation on the user interface, fast downloading speed, and user-friendly outlay. With all these elements playing a role to keep your audience hooked on to your website, remember to keep an eye on this important aspect.

Site speed or the downloading speed is now considered to be one of the ranking factors due to its implications on UX. Imagine yourself as an online user visiting a site and you have to wait for several moments just to wait for a simple text page to load, would you feel at ease browsing the whole website or just back out and navigated to another similar site? So it is significant that you incorporate suitable contents of manageable file size into your website to reduce page load time, or else you might be negatively affecting the UX of your website. Remember, when the speed of internet increases, so does user’s expectation of page load time and it is wise to reduce load time through several ways like compressing files or carrying out a full audit.

Visual elements play a thoroughly important part of your design. Bear in mind that the function of visual elements is to trigger an emotional response in user. Triggering the right emotion could drastically increase the UX of your website as users tend to have more interaction with your site. So your website need not necessarily have flashy or over the moon design which might complicate things. Keep it simple with sufficient degree of design just to attract user’s attention and bring out the interactive part within. You are safe with that.

Branding

There are two sides to a coin but people tend to spot something bad or negative more clearly compared to something good and positive. Users can easily get a feel of your website even though they might not notice the hidden technical malfunctions or specific elements that damage a site’s quality. So it is very unhealthy for your site to leave such a first impression on your visiting audience.

A user will browse through your site, develop first-hand impressions on it and rate it based on that impression. So you would like the user to perceive your website as something to ‘boast about’, in other words, has a good branding. However, people will have a notion that good aesthetic design reflects a good branding for example color, logo, fonts etc. But if your site is hard to navigate and troublesome to browse, it would ultimately lead to a catastrophic failure born out of sole attention on aesthetic aspect. So take note of your brand’s core value and make sure they are being reflected in every aspect of your website design so that your online brand image is well taken care of.

Mingle everything in one shot

All in all, spend some time considering what objective you wish to achieve when the idea of redesigning your website comes to mind as all of the above digital marketing strategies are of equal importance to execute. Emphasize on all aspects of your strategy to ensure every area is being covered in good terms. Be smart and attentive when designing your website and make sure to get it right at the first stage of design to avoid time and effort from being wasted.

Feel free to drop in any comments if you have a second thought on the digital marketing aspects which you think deserve to be mentioned? We shall discover new things together! Cheers.
