Happy Holidays: Thank you for an amazing 2024 and see you in 2025!

And just like that, 2024 is coming to a wrap.

As we approach the end of 2024, we at MARKETING-INTERACTIVE want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support throughout the year. Your engagement and trust have been the driving force behind our continued growth and success.

This year has been particularly special to us at MARKETING-INTERACTIVE as we expanded our reach into new markets with our flagship conferences Content360 and Digital Marketing Asia. As an Asia-first brand, we are cognisant that each country in Asia has its own culture and creativity, and it brought us great pleasure to showcase some of the winning work across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and The Philippines to our audiences.

As for our ever-vibrant awards, we saw record participation in our Marketing Excellence Awards across several markets, including Indonesia and Thailand! In 2025, we are excited to announce the launch of our newest awards, Hashtag Philippines. 

The enthusiasm and support from both our long-standing partners and new collaborators have been truly inspiring. Your contributions have enabled us to deliver insightful content, innovative solutions, and valuable connections within the marketing industry.

As for our newsletters and editorial team, many of you have taken notice of our Weekly Roundups on social media and Spotify, and the emergence of our Gen Z journalists who are committed to keeping you up to date with new formats of news dissemination.

Safe to say, 2024 has not been without its challenges. In the newsroom we saw marketers across the region navigate a rapidly evolving technological landscape, adapting to new tools and platforms while striving to stay ahead of the curve. Economic fluctuations have also posed significant hurdles, requiring agility and resilience.

Despite these obstacles, the marketing community has demonstrated remarkable creativity and determination, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation.

So that’s just a short roundup of what our year has been like. It has been a hectic year, and we definitely raked up a fair bit of airline miles, but we couldn’t have come to where we’re at without your invaluable support.

Your continuous feedback, tip-offs, and ideas have played a crucial role in our growth and diversification. Even during challenging times, you have consistently shown up for us, participating in our awards, conferences, custom events, and masterclasses.

As we look forward to 2025, we remain committed to providing you with the latest industry insights, trends, and strategies to help you thrive in an ever-changing environment. We are excited about the future and the possibilities it holds for all of us. But before that, we are taking a little bit of time to rest and recharge.

Our office will be closed from 16 December 2024, to 1 January 2025. During this time, we hope you have a splendid holiday season with your loved ones, filled with joy and warmth.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

With love,

The MARKETING-INTERACTIVE team
