Loon passionately stated, “Our sector flourishes on the incredible fusion of talents, where diverse skills and perspectives converge, amplifying outcomes for businesses and their customers. The Singapore Media Marketing Awards shine a light on this synergy, particularly in Singapore’s unique market that leans heavily on international collaborations. This shared zeal, I believe, is fundamental to bolster our industry’s adaptability and readiness for emerging opportunities.”

Echoing these thoughts, Lim added, “Central to marketing is the united pursuit of forging genuine bonds with consumers. These accolades celebrate such efforts, underlining the essential role of collaborative convergence in devising robust strategies. The mutual responsibility we shoulder in sustaining these connections is paramount. It’s a privilege to champion an initiative that celebrates consumer engagement and the underlying spirit of teamwork and responsibility.”
