What Makes Branding Association of Malaysia Tick?
The primary goal of the Branding Association of Malaysia is to educate the Malaysian business community about the importance of branding and provide a platform for them so that they can unleash the brand power of their own respective businesses.
Since our founding in 2000, we have grown by leaps and bounds, both in terms of size and stature. From our humble beginning as an NGO serving mostly SME community, we have developed into a well-recognised and respected champion of the national branding movement, inspiring thousands of business owners to pursue excellence in branding and connecting hundreds of members in various forms of collaboration and partnership.
Our visionary President work closely with Executives Committee to ensure that the association continues to progress and ascend to even greater heights. Activities fill our calendar year-round from meetings, networking dinners and learning workshops to dialogues with the government, courtesy visit to embassies and overseas trade mission.
We aspire to set runway for Malaysian brands to rise above in achieving their presence and connectivity across all continents of the world. We want our members to grow and shine. The reason for this is very simple – the collective success of Malaysian businesses will translate into the overall economic success of our beloved country.
With that said, the Branding Association of Malaysia wishing you “Happy Branding”!
