Chong added that as Singapore?s national media network, Mediacorp aims to deliver "Made for You" experiences to those it serves, shaped around their wants and needs. The new brand position was unveiled in a ?Made for you? brand campaign last month.?Mediacorp launched?a?new slogan, a music video and brand vignettes, reflecting a company-wide reinvention.
The music video manifests Mediacorp?s vision to ?Create Connect Inspire?.?Mediacorp explained to Marketing then that the launch of the brand positioning comes as the media conglomerate focuses on creating localised content and going beyond the stereotype of a broadcast-only company. According to Chong,?with this new marketing push, the company aims to reinforce its positioning as a holistic media company with both digital and traditional offerings.
In a bid to position itself as a brand that ?goes where its audiences go?, Mediacorp inked a partnership with YouTube earlier this year.?It also partnered with VICE to offer Singaporeans access to the latter?s curated video series on Toggle, which rides on VICE?s youth audience and authentic storytelling.
