Digital marketing agency Primal, led by Forbes 30 under 30 Mark McDowell, joins global digital agency group with exclusive NFT project

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 8 November 2021 – Thailand’s fastest-growing digital agency didn’t get there by chance. Their rapid growth has been fuelled by their dedication to innovation and by constantly pushing the boundaries.

And they are at it again.

 

Headed up by Forbes 30 Under 30 Mark McDowell, Primal is a part of a larger network of agencies that are now being consolidated under one umbrella ‘superbrand’ – Superist.

 

With Primal leading the way, Superist is looking to make its mark on the global digital scene. As well as launching their new ‘superbrand’, Superist is also offering their own NFTs and plans to accept cryptocurrency for client payment in the upcoming months.

 

As part of its launch, Superist has released nine NFTs on OpenSea, each depicting a key leader in the global group. Each NFT also comes with one hour of each leader’s time, which can be redeemed straight away, or at a later date. The longer the owner of the NFT holds on to the time, the more valuable it becomes as the group achieves more success.

 

The group, which is currently comprised of Appscore (Australia), Chili (Brazil, Panama, Mexico), CODI Agency (Australia) First Page (Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore), Lisnic (Australia), Primal (Malaysia and Thailand), Removify (Australia) and USEO (Middle East) provides a multitude of services including digital marketing, content creation, reputation management, app and website development, celebrity speakers and online mentoring.

 

“This is an exciting time for the agency as we use our regional experience in a more collaborative manner to deliver integrated results across the region and achieve strong growth for brands as a unified global group with a plethora of offerings”, says Primal CEO, Mark McDowell.

 

Primal co-founder and Australian Rich-Lister Nick Bell is the driving force behind Superist. After recently launching the Australian arm of his agency First Page, Bell realised there was a gap in the market for a more dynamic and independent digital group that would make it easy for companies to achieve global digital success.

 

“As we aren’t a listed group, Superist is completely independent, meaning we don’t have to answer to shareholders so we can always put the needs of our clients first”, explains Bell. “We can push the boundaries with first to market initiatives that will help our clients stand out in the increasingly competitive digital landscape.”

 

Clients for the group include McDonald’s, Intel, Mercedes Benz, Uber, Colgate, L’Oreal, Bayer, McLaren and the co-Founder of Netflix, Marc Randolph.

Rentokil Initial launches Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) Solution for complete indoor and outdoor mosquito protection

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 8 November 2021 – Rentokil Initial Singapore has introduced an Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) Solution for indoor and outdoor protection, designed to provide better efficacy and protection for both people and our planet. With the IMM Solution, Rentokil Initial aims to play an important role in protecting the nation as well as the environment’s health, by minimizing the use of harmful chemicals that adversely impact the planet and our exposure to harmful chemicals.

In Singapore, mosquito-borne diseases are of concern to us all. We need protection from them- whether indoors or outdoors. Year to date, in Singapore, more than 4,169 dengue[1] cases have been reported this year. Therefore, addressing mosquito control remains a top concern among the public.

Through research at Rentokil Global Research and Development Centre, Rentokil has developed the IMM solution that is holistic, effective and a greener way to control mosquitoes- using chemicals only when absolutely necessary. Rentokil pest experts help identify risk areas and hotspots with all 4 stages- exclusion (preventing mosquito entry as far as possible), restriction (eliminating breeding areas), treatment (innovative eco-solutions to destroy mosquitoes), and monitoring (ensuring control measures work effectively).

One of the most common ways to deal with mosquitoes outdoors is fogging. Rentokil offers water-based fogging which is effective, safe, environmentally friendly and virtually odorless. It doesn’t produce carbon emissions (as oil-based fogging does), thereby reducing air pollution. Fogging, though effective, doesn’t provide 24-hour protection- as the effects of fogging may last up to an hour. Additionally, fogging is toxic to pollinators such as butterflies and bees. This adversely impacts the ecosystem as more than 75% of the world’s crops depend on these pollinators.

To overcome these 2 issues, Rentokil introduces In2Care- an effective, eco-friendly, solution that effectively targets all stages of the mosquito life cycle thereby reducing the need for fogging. Additionally, it effectively controls mosquitoes, without adversely affecting the environment or killing our pollinators. This mosquito trap attracts mosquitoes ready to lay eggs and infects the mosquito with a bio-active that kills the mosquitoes but also any larvae it comes into contact with. This is very effective in controlling mosquitoes in even hard-to-reach places.

To control mosquitoes indoors- Rentokil suggests the Mosclean- which helps to eliminate mosquitoes without the use of any harmful chemicals. This solution is safe for all the family- especially infants and young children. The Mosclean indoor mosquito trap utilizes efficient UV LED light to attract mosquitoes into the trap. It is an environmentally friendly way to control adult mosquitoes without the use of gas and chemicals. The trap includes a container to exhaust inlet air to dehydrate trapped mosquitoes. This provides 24-hour indoor protection and is also effective against insecticide-resistant mosquitoes.

Dr. Su Yee Lim (PhD. Entomology), Technical Director of Rentokil Initial Singapore says,

“Rentokil is committed to green pest control, which means we only use chemicals such as pesticides when absolutely necessary. It means taking a holistic approach to vector and pest removal that looks for the source of the problem and providing a solution before anything is used to eliminate the infestation.

We are committed to helping the environment by thinking about the impact of anything and everything we do. The impact to your family and your property, but also on the surrounding community. With our IMM solution- we look at providing you with effective 24-hour protection from mosquitoes without heavy reliance on chemicals. We eliminate access points, find solutions that work for you, and ensure your home is pest-free with minimal impact to the environment, thereby helping keep your business and home free from mosquito infestations”.

About Rentokil Initial Singapore:

Rentokil, the experts in pest control, have stood for effective control ever since we were founded in 1964 in Singapore. Market leaders in pest control and hygiene in over 80 countries, we have been helping our customers solve their pest and infection control problems with our local team of highly qualified entomologists and technicians.

Manulife wins five accolades at the Hong Kong Insurance Awards 2021

With top honour in “Outstanding Corporate Social Responsibility” in recognition of its commitment to sharing humanity during the pandemic

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 8 November 2021 – Manulife Hong Kong took home five honours at the Hong Kong Insurance Awards 2021. The company won the top prize in “Outstanding Corporate Social Responsibility” and was in the top three for “Outstanding MPF / Employees’ Benefit Product / Service”, “Outstanding Integrated Marketing Strategies” and “Outstanding Training & Development” categories. On top of these, Manulife’s financial planner Nicolas Chan was in the top three for the “Outstanding Young Professional of the Year – Intermediary” award.

Organised by the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers (“HKFI”) in collaboration with the South China Morning Post, the Hong Kong Insurance Awards is one of the most prestigious and reputable annual celebrations in the Hong Kong insurance industry. The award program recognizes outstanding achievements of insurance firms, teams, and individual practitioners.  

 

Damien Green, Chief Executive Officer of Manulife Hong Kong and Macau, said: “We are thrilled to have clinched five prestigious awards at this signature industry event. These accolades are testament not only to the strong business results we achieved this year and our persistent dedication to fostering talent, but most importantly, to our unwavering dedication to the community of Hong Kong as a committed corporate citizen serving the city for 124 years. Looking forward, we will continue to invest heavily in our agency force expansion and our health and protection solutions to help make customer decisions easier and live every day better.”

 

Manulife Hong Kong was honoured with the “Outstanding Corporate Social Responsibility” award in recognition of its projects and commitment to “Share Your Humanity” – one of Manulife’s corporate values that entails finding meaningful ways to build strong and resilient local communities. This has come to the fore since the pandemic, to which the company responded swiftly with targeted and necessary actions to meet immediate social needs. From being the first insurer to give out free masks and health service vouchers, to enabling at-home education with iPad donations, the entire Manulife team worked hard to leverage its expertise in healthcare and digital solutions to support the community. Customers also played a significant role – ManulifeMOVE members participated in the ‘MOVE for Good’ challenge by keeping active for a good cause, their steps and sweat were collectively turned into donated meals to people in need and sports gear for under-resourced children.

 

Manulife Hong Kong made it to the top three for “Outstanding Integrated Marketing Strategy” category thanks to its successful marketing strategy for the company’s updated critical illness product ManuBright Care 2. Through a holistic campaign based on shaping perceptions and habits, Manulife was able to transform peoples’ perspectives towards critical illness by turning fear into optimism and hope.

 

Manulife was also among the top three for the “Outstanding MPF / Employees’ Benefit Product / Service” award in recognition for its commitment to providing high quality services as the largest MPF provider[1] in Hong Kong. The company offers the most comprehensive MPF platform[2] in the city with 29 constituent funds covering a wide spectrum of investment options, enabling members to tailor their MPF portfolios under different market conditions. Since the inception of the MPF System in 2000 till December 31, 2020, over 99% of Manulife MPF members recorded investment gain[3].

 

Manulife’s own training institution, Manulife Business Academy Hong Kong, was a top 3 finalist in the “Outstanding Training & Development” award category. The award acknowledged the achievements of the Academy’s ‘Leader Development Program’ which builds the key skill sets of agency managers so they can better develop and strengthen their teams in the ever-changing business environment.

A Glimpse into the Future: Trend Micro’s Project 2030

Connectivity, data, and AI will change the way we live, work and operate in society

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 8 November 2021 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today released a visionary new report and video dramatization articulating how the world might look at the start of the next decade — and how the security sector might respond to evolving cybercrime innovation.

By 2030, connectivity will impact every aspect of daily life, on both the physical and psychological levels. Malicious threat actors will evolve to use and abuse technological innovation – as they always do. Click here to learn more about Project 2030.

 

“Project 2030 is not a definitive vision of what will be, but a thought-provoking take on what could be — detailing a future that is plausible based on current technology and trends,” said Rik Ferguson, vice president of security for Trend Micro. “We hope this possible future will spark a debate within the security industry and wider society. Only by carefully anticipating future scenarios can we offer governments, businesses, and individuals a way to prepare for the cyber challenges of the coming decade.”

 

The report itself looks at the world in 2030 through the eyes of a fictional citizen, a business, and a government. It offers a detailed analysis of evolving cyber threats and how these might impact security stakeholders.

 

Among the predictions are:

  • AI tools democratize cybercrime on a whole new scale to individuals with no technical skill
  • Attacks cause chaos with supply chains and physical harm to humans through their cyber-implants
  • Social engineering and misinformation become more visceral and harder to ignore when delivered via ubiquitous Heads Up Displays (HUDs)
  • Massive IoT (MIoT) environments attract sabotage and extortion attacks targeting manufacturing, logistics, transportation, healthcare, education, retail, and the home environment
  • AI-powered obfuscation makes attribution virtually impossible, pushing the security industry’s focus towards incident response and IAM at the edge
  • 5G and 6G connectivity everywhere drive more sophisticated and precise attacks
  • “Everything as a Service” turns cloud providers into hugely lucrative targets for cyber-attackers
  • Grey markets emerge for those that want tools to confound workplace monitoring
  • Techno-nationalism becomes a key geostrategic tool of some of the world’s most powerful nations, with the gulf between them and the have-nots widening further

“The exponential growth of modern technology has brought abundant future possibilities, along with cybersecurity challenges,” said Dr. Victoria Baines, cybersecurity futurist. “These scenarios and their associated threats will require changes to the business and regulation of cybersecurity. The cybersecurity industry must evolve both technology and training to prepare for a future in which everything is connected and at risk.”

 

A successor to Trend Micro’s acclaimed 2012 report, Project 2020, the new paper was compiled from open-source research, vendor threat landscape reports, scientific abstracts, patents, an invitation-only online survey, and a CISO poll. The video dramatization of the report is meant to be an engaging, entertaining way to visualize the future and enable organizations to think about how they will need to adapt to new realities.

About Trend Micro

Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity leader, helps make the world safe for exchanging digital information. Fueled by decades of security expertise, global threat research, and continuous innovation, Trend Micro’s cybersecurity platform protects hundreds of thousands of organizations and millions of individuals across clouds, networks, devices, and endpoints. As a leader in cloud and enterprise cybersecurity, the platform delivers a powerful range of advanced threat defense techniques optimized for environments like AWS, Microsoft, and Google, and central visibility for better, faster detection and response.
