The Gold award from the annual Spikes Asia Awards has eluded Malaysian agencies for the past three years, but not this year, as Isobar Malaysia, a Dentsu Aegis Network agency, successfully brought home the top honours at the awards ceremony held in Singapore last Friday. 

The feat also earned Isobar the coveted ‘Malaysia’s Agency of the Year’ title at the same ceremony. 

The award-winning work was Isobar’s campaign entitled ‘HoEeKi’ (‘Let It Go’ in the Chinese-Hokkien dialect) for Mudah.my, Malaysia’s largest online marketplace. Winning under the ‘Online Fiction – Entertainment’ category, it was Malaysia’s only Gold award for the night. 

After weeks of intense build-up in social media with a series of teaser videos carrying the #waitforit hashtag, Eco World Development Group Berhad (EcoWorld Malaysia) finally unveiled five new projects under the EcoWorld Design-Nature-Art (DNA) campaign. 

Three of the projects are maiden launches – these are Eco Horizon in Penang; Eco Forest in Southern Klang Valley and Eco Business Park V in Northern Klang Valley, while the other two are new phases within the Group’s existing townships namely Dremien @ Eco Ardence in Shah Alam and Whitten @ Eco Majestic City in Semenyih. 

Cardiac Vascular Sentral Kuala Lumpur (CVSKL), Malaysia’s soon to be opened cardiac and vascular hospital recently had a lively World Heart Day celebration in the vicinity of the hospital.

With the celebration, CVSKL aims to create awareness in the community for healthy living to avoid or manage heart problems through healthy diet, regular exercise and smoking cessation.
