Are the startups embracing strategic communications efforts and content to achieve better results?

Is their PR messaging hitting the right tones?

In 2020, the global startup ecosystem was valued around RM12.8 trillion (USD3 trillion). This number is growing every day and is worth more than the individual GDP of most G7 economies. Seven of the top 10 largest companies in the world are technology-related, and in 2019, close to RM1.2 trillion (USD300 billion) venture capital investments went to startups.

According to Startup Genome, Malaysia’s startup ecosystem was estimated to be worth RM67.4 billion (USD16.1 billion) in 2021. In 2030, we aim to be ranked as one of the Top 20 global startup ecosystems, functioning in the Integration Stage, with a mature and flourishing ecosystem abuzz with 5,000 startups, largely self-sustaining and hugely successful, creating knowledge transfer and wealth.

The questions addressed:

  1. Are the startups embracing strategic communications efforts and content to achieve better results?
  2. Is their PR messaging hitting the right tones?

Challenge

To Align or Realign?

A start-up will progress through different phases but these chapters have ONE thing in common – the need to align a shared vision that validates an idea to the business and draws talent to the organisation.

Startups within the Malaysian eco-system must see content as a critical tool to profile their brand, beginning from the formation phase, and through validation, right until they scale up for growth.

This shared narrative is captured in the Company’s (Start-Up’s) corporate profile, and forms the base document that enunciates the company’s founding story and its competitive edge.

This is what we term to be missing. This is the basis for all PR strategies.

Approach

Strategic Profilling Content

How We Did It

Conversation is a meeting of minds with different memories and habits. When minds meet, they don’t just exchange facts; they transform them, draw different implications from them and engage in new trains of thought.

We encourage our clients to constantly challenge the norms and push the boundaries of their industry and sectors. To do this, we nurture a synergistic relationship that enables us to provide the content counsel. A regular engagement with C-suite enables this.

Conversation doesn’t just reshuffle the words, it makes new cards
