TELEVISION ADVERTISING IN MALAYSIA: A SIMPLE PRESENTATION BUT A POWERFUL, EMOTIONAL STORY

15. 8. 2023 | 11 min read Malaysia, with its multicultural environment and ethnic diversity, is a uniquely cosmopolitan country that manages to bring together diverse communities through shared forms of art and culture. All Malaysians place great emphasis on the values associated with the Malaysian lifestyle and therefore celebrate all festivals exuberantly. For example, the Hari Raya holiday could easily be compared with the American Super Bowl in terms of television advertising. Those who do not advertise during Hari Raya seem to be invisible. History of television broadcasting in Malaysia The television industry is a multi-billion-dollar business in Malaysia. Television has long been one of the most important media there. Malaysian television broadcasting was first launched on 28 December 1963. It was a single, black-and-white network known as Rangkaian Pertama (Channel One in English). Six years later, at the end of 1969, Rangkaian Dua (Channel Two in English) was launched, providing information, entertainment, and education.

PRINCE HARRY, JAMES BOND, AND PADDINGTON BEAR. THEY WERE ALL LUCKY ENOUGH TO APPEAR IN TV SPOTS ALONGSIDE ELIZABETH II

10. 8. 2023 | 15 min read When the British queen Elizabeth II died last autumn, it affected the whole world. Both those who loved the queen and those who see the British monarchy as a relic of the 19th century. To some extent, this is due to the fact that the queen and her family are not only political actors but also (and perhaps above all) part of global pop culture. Elizabeth II was also aware of this specific role during her lifetime, and she did not hesitate to engage in several marketing activities to promote events that were important to Great Britain. However, marketing and the british royal family are not exactly concepts that necessarily go hand in hand. If you are a traditional manufacturing or distribution company, you are probably not going to get the official royal stamp in your presentation. But there are options - official ones and less so. But you must always remember that you are teetering on the edge, with only one thing setting the basic direction - strict rules. RULES, RULES, AND MORE RULES First of all, it is good to remember that even a simple mention of any member of the royal family or a significant event is not a commonplace for marketers. Of course, many of them would like to add a touch of formality to their product, and references to the ruling family or symbols of the British monarchy are more suited to this than anything else. But as has been said, it is not that simple - no member of the royal family can be mentioned or shown in any marketing campaign without prior approval. The only exceptions to this are incidental mentions that are not directly related to the product being advertised and mentions in books, articles, films or other sources associated with that person. But even this is not a 100% rule.

TV ADVERTISING IN INDIA: BOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES EARN MORE FROM ADVERTISING THAN FROM FILMING

3. 8. 2023 | 9 min read The world’s second largest TV market. A country where advertising is based on celebrities, who are looked up to as deities. Where the most common language is English, but many population groups don’t speak it. Where, despite the prevalence of vegetarians and sanctity of the cow, the McDonald’s brand has caught on. A country where the chosen ones live in modern western-style residencies, brimming with luxury, but those born in the “wrong” caste survive in shacks in abject poverty. This is India, a land of contrasts. Let’s see what specifics define Indian advertising. IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS CLOTHING The very first black and white television advertisement in India was aired on January 1, 1976 (some sources say 1978) and it was for Gwalior Suitings garments. Unfortunately, the footage is not available. However, this is not true of the first colour advertisement. The colour spot, which lasted a full 100 seconds, is highly reminiscent of a Bond parody. It concentrates everything you might think of in connection with an action movie (in this case, an ad) - knife throwing, leopard, python, swords, shooting, murder, kidnapping, helicopter, sensuality, suspense, speedboat. It would probably make Agent 007's own chin drop:
