OXWHITE is disrupting the dress shirt market with its pre-order model, offering RM400 value at only RM69

June 20, 2018 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- OXWHITE, a modern business and lifestyle start-up, wants to change how Asian office workers buy dress shirts. The brand is launching on June 30 with their first product: a non-iron dress shirt of the same calibre as those found in London’s Savile Row. Although luxury office wear like this would normally be priced at more than $100 (RM400), OXWHITE is launching theirs at only $20 (RM69).

Confidence doesn’t need to be expensive

The brand’s mission is to bring comfort and confidence at an affordable price for office workers. “I believe that people shouldn’t have to pay more to look good,” says CK Chang, founder of OXWHITE. “Thanks to our pre-order model, we are able to offer premium quality at an honest price.”

It all started with a single shirt

CK founded OXWHITE after struggling to find a shirt with a perfect fit for his Asian physique. After finally getting a shirt tailor-made in London, he realised how important it was for men to get the right fit. He became determined to bring this level of quality to Asians at a price that anyone could afford, which started a journey that spanned 2 years and 20,000 miles in search of the best fabric and manufacturers.

High quality materials and craftsmanship, tailored for Asians

OXWHITE collected and analysed body data from 70,000 Asian men to design the perfect tailored fit. Each OXWHITE shirt is made of 100% SUPIMA® cotton, an American-made cotton known for its incredible softness and silky feel, and undergoes a non-iron heat treatment during the manufacturing process. The team is also working closely with a factory that has years of experience producing for global brands such as Brooks Brothers and Thomas Pink to ensure the same quality you would expect from other designer menswear.

OXWHITE’s innovative business model

By operating on a 100% e-commerce, pre-order only model, OXWHITE is cutting out the middlemen and unnecessary inventory costs to reduce their cost mark up. This allows them to bring value to their customers.

What to look forward to

Luxury non-iron dress shirts are just the starting point for OXWHITE. With CK’s strong vision and clear mission, the team has plans to produce tailored-fit pants and scratch-resistant luggage bags for business travellers to be released at a quarter of the current market price.

How you can support the OXWHITE dream

Pre-order for Malaysians opens on June 30, 2018. The first batch of shirts is limited to a run of 3,000pcs, and the first 1,000 to pre-order will enjoy the Oxwhite Classic White Shirt at a special launch price: RM0.99.

FFALCON Technology Has Published “Observations and Insights of OTT Video Market in India”

May 25, 2018 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- One of the world leading TV brands, TCL, launched its iFFALCON brand in India with Flipkart on April 26th, 2018. It attained great sales performance with the iFFALCON 55″ Android TV sold out within 2 minutes. In addition to bringing Android TVs to the Indian market, iFFALCON will also offer a full suite of embedded Google services as well as continue to deliver smart and large screen products to the market.

On May 25th, FFALCON Technology has published a report titled “Observations and Insights of the OTT Video Market in India” which conducts a detailed analysis of the OTT Video Market in India from different aspects. The report provides insights on the development path for the Indian OTT video market and greater opportunities for Indian OTT video players to work with a broader range of OTT devices not only including smart phones but also smart TVs and other streaming devices.

According to the report, the global market size of OTT TV and video reached 46.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2017 and is expected to reach 83.4 billion U.S. dollars by 2022. Subscription Video on Demand (SVoD) dominates with 50% market share. Meanwhile, the top 5 countries in the global OTT TV & Video revenue rankings are the USA, China, Japan, UK and Germany.


From 2016 through 2020, 61% of India’s population will be under the age of 35, per EY’s Re-imaging India M&E Sector. It is predicted that these young people will be a more digitalized generation of consumers in India’s history and more receptive to new consumption trends such as paying for OTT vide streaming with digital payments and using smart TVs etc.

At present, 86% of Indian households still use CRT TVs and only 3.4% of households own multiple TVs. Given to this there are huge potentials for growth of OTT device makers and OTT operators in India.

FFALCON Technology is convinced that OTT device makers should establish strategic partnerships with the key global and local OTT video players in India. At the current stage, the Indian OTT video market still heavily depends on advertisement revenue. The OTT device makers should be more focusing on device performance and user experience to attract more users, cultivate users’ habits of consuming streaming videos and digital payments and then seek a practical and sustainable business model with OTT partners in the smart TV content eco-system.

TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference to Benefit Startups to Gain Traction by Actionable Growth Hacks.

April 17, 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. The conference to benefit startups to gain traction by actionable growth hacks.

Participants shall discover how innovative global companies maintain their edge via social media marketing. The conference features practical, action-oriented social media marketing sessions from top leading experts and brands. Highlight includes a hands-on workshop by social media coach who has trained 200+ start-ups in the Silicon Valley, US.

The Social Media Innovation Conference is targeted towards key decision makers and Clevels within companies from all industries, covering 20+ different tactical areas of social media which includes everything from video marketing, social media ROI, chatbots, usergenerated content to data and analytics.

Growth hacking is all about growing your user base quickly. More often than not inexperienced entrepreneurs will sit down with their idea, create a decent website, and generate some local press, and say, “if we build it they will come.” It doesn’t happen that way. Eventually the social media consistency dies off, the free PR stops running, the website remains static, and your startup is left dead in the water.

Limited resources put startups in a position where they need to find solutions to these shortcomings, often unconventional ones. Desperation leads to innovation. Exactly for this reason, the term of “growth hacking” centered on creativity and the use of unconventional methods to achieve rapid and spectacular growth. It does not involve reinventing the wheel, but rather the use of already popular concepts and practices in a unique way that attracts attention and facilitates rapid dissemination. Products such as Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube are often given as examples of growth hacking.

The conference feature includes a deep dive workshop facilitated by Sweta Patel, a renown trainer who has coach 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 will share about the step-by-step method of exactly how she grew her Instagram account from 13 to 80,000 followers in one year. If done the right way, Instagram can be used to generate leads which will later convert into paying customers. The workshop highlights numerous actionable insights on Instagram hacks that can save you time and money.

Sweta highlights, “Social media has increased the discovery for my business and without it I would not be able to gain the reach I would need to ensure my brand is reputable. It helped discover new ways to reach a mass audience without doing so much. Last year I was able to generate over $400,000 through my social media channels. This is why it is important to use these channels wisely so you are able to gain the reach you need to reach your objectives.”

Sweta remarks, “The most common mistakes in social media revolve around this concept of “faking it til you make it.” Businesses are buying likes, comments, and followers without any real strategy to back it up. When a business does this, it makes them look even worse than they would without a strategy. The strategy should focus on helping a business grow real fans- It’s not about the followers. It’s about touching people and making them feel as if they are a part of your brand. What are you doing to make them feel involved? If you make your customers and your fans the heroes of your brand, then you will win.”

When asked about the biggest challenges for social media marketers, Sweta underlines, “Building and growing an organic audience. This remains a challenge because most of the experts do not know what they are doing when it comes to audience building and no one knows their audience better than the business owner themselves. When they are able to tap into their audience’s secret desires, then they will be able to capture the audience’s interest. At this point they understand their audience better than the audience understands themselves. One way of focusing on building an audience is to start small and then focus on scaling up. When you start small you are able to make a bigger impact and share your message through word of mouth.”

Sweta concludes, “You can’t fake it til’ you make it on social media. If you take shortcuts, you will fail faster.”

The conference brings together speakers from Google, LinkedIn, Mindvalley, Axiata, GoCar, and more. Keynote speaker Cally Lo, Regional Account Manager at LinkedIn highlights, “In an era where companies are pushing to increase their interconnectivity with customers, partners and general interests, social media has opened an avenue for more authentic access to individuals that they wish to target. The impact of this wave of streamlined information trading has allowed an increase in transactions, innovation, competition and expansion.”

When asked about the biggest challenges for social media marketers, Cally underlines, “Being one of the same. The market is booming with marketers running different strategies. It is easy to fall into repetitive maneuvers which will blend strategies into the broader web of content. It is important to stay original, and keeping a unique stance. It is challenging during these times, but imperative.”

Keynote speaker Pankaj Khushani, Head of Analytics & Platform Partnerships, SEA, Google presents the topic, “Data Driven: The Role of Social Media in Performance Marketing.”

Pankaj highlights, “Since social media has such a large share of online activity, companies are seeing social media as an important component of their digital marketing and wider marketing strategies. And it’s not limited to just marketing. Customer service, recruitment, employer branding and other departments are taking a stake in social, too. This is helping to increase social media’s importance in the organization and spur hiring. Social media is a must-have nowadays, and not a nice-to-have.”

Keynote speaker Vadim Fink, Head of Marketing at Mindvalley presents the topic “How to use Video on Social Media to drive REAL Business Results.” Vadim highlights, “Social Media is no longer something any business can overlook. Every single day 1.4 billion people log into Facebook – and Youtube is about to surpass TV as the most watched format in the U.S. this year. At the same time consumers’ attention is moving towards video, away from written content.”

Keynote speaker Pedro Uria Recio, Vice President at Axiata Group presents the topic “Applying Artificial Social Intelligence to Customer Service and Sales.” Pedro highlights, “Customer service and sales has traditionally been a field that relies on the empathic abilities of a human being to resolve issues. Yet as the costs for human staffed call-centres have grown, automation has become imperative and led to the introduction of Artificial Social Intelligence. Today’s AI is becoming increasingly complex and functional.”

Keynote speaker Alan Cheah, Chief Executive Officer of GoCar presents the topic “Team Culture: How to Align Team Culture to Your Marketing Strategy.” Alan highlights, “Apart from strategies, marketing tools, and knowledge; team culture plays a huge part in leading the marketing direction for GoCar. The team’s values, passion, and vision for GoCar dictates how we choose to pursue certain partnerships, what kind of digital campaigns to run, which community events to organise, and how we communicate with our users. Once we have that aligned, it’s clear to see how we managed to grow the company from 5 GoCars in 5 locations in 2016 to 180 GoCars in 80 locations in 2017. It all begins with the team culture.”

Teaming up with the region’s forward thinking and innovative organisation, TalentCap is pleased to welcome on-board MPH Bookstores as the Official Bookstore at the Social Media Innovation Conference Kuala Lumpur April 2018.

Many brands know that influencer marketing is a part of social media but is uncertain on the ways to utilize influencers. Influencers, unlike celebrities, can be anywhere. They can be anyone. What make them influential are their large followings on the web and social media. An influencer can be a popular fashion photographer on Instagram, or a well-read cybersecurity blogger who tweets, or a respected marketing executive on LinkedIn. Within any industry, there are influential people.” Mei Sze’s keynote will highlight key points on the what, how, and when it is the right time for influencer marketing.

Sheng Wen highlights, “Statistics has revealed the positive correlation between the response time and lead conversion in social media marketing. Yet companies face obstacles to decrease response time due to separate systems used to manage customer contacts, different teams handling sales calls, inefficient employees, and lack of efficient monitoring system. The challenge is even more commonly encountered in service industry and offline business. Another hurdle is getting accurate conversion feedback from salesperson for social marketer to react in real time to adjust their marketing strategies.” Sheng Wen’s keynote shares tactical insights on how to implement a seamless social marketing process flow and real-time conversion monitoring.

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 will share about the step-by-step method of exactly how she grew her Instagram account from 13 to 80,000 followers in one year.

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.

Participants shall discover how innovative global companies maintain their edge via social media marketing. The conference features practical, action-oriented social media marketing sessions from top leading experts and brands. Highlight includes a hands-on workshop by social media coach who has trained 200+ start-ups in the Silicon Valley, US.

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.

Believing in putting people first, the company regards being inclusive in their strategy as a means to foster a team of incredible talents to deliver wonderful results. With that in mind, the company held OneWorld Communication and OneWorld Boot Camp on 10th and 19th January 2018 respectively, in order to further strengthen the communication between team members and the management.

Highlights on both OneWorld Communication Day and OneWorld Bootcamp are available below:

Founder and Executive Director Amenny Chua said, “Through OneWorld Communication Day and OneWorld Boot Camp, we take our internal transparency to the next level where both the management and agents can communicate themselves in a very open and friendly way. We unveiled a set of core values along with 2018’s direction, as well as gotten feedbacks from the team on the key strategies that we roll out at the beginning of the year. It’s a very fruitful session to help ensure that the strategies are working for everyone.”

OneWorld Real Estate also aspires to create a better future for all by grooming their team members like family and providing a support system to help the agents achieve their goals. The events help make clear that no agent is alone as there is always support, and every challenge can be solved as a team. By encouraging communication, the company is looking for more constructive suggestions in order to help everyone in the team to craft a career they want.

Ultimately the company is looking to achieve organization-wide alignment through communication. By helping every agent despite team and culture differences synchronize onto the same path, all members will grow towards the direction of the organization’s goals.

“We want to create a culture where everyone, even the junior agents, is able to communicate their ideas and questions comfortably and without prejudice. It’s about trying to help everyone to achieve their goals which would go hand-in-hand with organizational goals. And it’s also about providing ample support while they get there. Growing is never easy but together, we will make it possible,” said Founder and Managing Director Aine Lee.

Some highlights of OneWorld Bootcamp 2018:

About OneWorld Real Estate: OneWorld Real Estate is a Malaysian real estate agency that prides itself on leading the field in full spectrum of real estate services.
