Tommes and Harley   An eccentric individual with a unique personality, Chef Tommes is passionate about all things creative. Part of representing any business or personality is by looking at fun angles that media and readers may enjoy. With Chef Tommes, the owner and chef of That Little Wine Bar Penang, it was an enjoyable ride introducing him and his love for Harley Davidson to the media. In the kitchen, Chef Tommes is a perfectionist – ask his staff, they’ll testify. But he isn’t merely a perfectionist in the kitchen, it resonates through to his life outside kitchen as well.  In building his custom built Harley Davidson – a mechanical beauty he’s dreamed to have since he was a child – life imitates art and he demonstrates the importance of perfection.

Humans of Orchan – Craig J Selby We started Orchan because we wanted to leave a legacy, to do something different, and to reintroduce personalization into business. Big agencies and other organisations are often faceless and heartless, with the big boss turning up on two occasions – for the pitch, and to collect the cheque. But hang on, its these guys – the bosses – that are leaders in their field, and should lead by example every step along the way. Craig at the Prestige Magazine, Top 40 Under 40, Ten Year Celebration Party. The prop was mandatory! With Orchan, we will never grow to be bigger than our capabilities. Yes, we select our clients (carefully too), as we want to be 100% behind what they have to offer; but also so we can ensure a hands-on experience throughout the representation. That might upset our staff, as we are always breathing down their necks (they can’t sneak out to a meeting without us being there) – but ultimately, it means a faster, and more consid...

Craft Brews Always wanting to stand out from the crowd, Craft Brews scoured the globe for refreshingly different ales to bring to Malaysia. One such experience was launching of sole distributor rights to popular craft beer, Rogue Beer in Malaysia. Orchan was engaged by Craft Brews to launch the Rogue Beer range in Malaysia, through a series of media-oriented initiatives including a launch party and an exclusive beer-pairing dinner. 鲜啤新口味 by Nanyang Siang Pau Pleasure Craft by The Star Flavoursome Ales Pack a Punch by Malay Mail Go Rogue at Craft Brews by Flavours 啤洒新囗味 by NuYou

Scrambling for Ideas   No point to sugar-coat it; creating a client pitch is no easy feat. Its not random ideas that fall into place (well, ok, sometimes it is); it is a lot of hard work; researching, thinking, brainstorming, deleting, researching again ... you know, the cycle continues, until finally; you have the semblance of something you believe that not only can you articulate to the client, but can also result in great publicity. All this to get the client hooked ... into your way of thinking ... to heighten their brand.   Whether it be a short project or a longer retainer; most clients expect a pitch. They want to see what you can come up with for them, and whether this will translate into real outcomes of value. They also need to see whether your ideas (the good, the bad, and the ugly) synergise with their thinking styles and the way they work. Its all about chemistry - chemistry of people, and chemistry of brands.     In a pitch, an ...

Edison & Ben Hit the Streets Late in November and December, we had the chance to go out and experience a media drop for the very first time. New into the business, we weren't sure exactly what this would entail, but perhaps just delivering a few boxes at reception for some journalists. OK, so we underestimated the work that was involved in this. We were tasked to deliver Pineapple Tarts for SCS Butter, to a selection of publication houses and well-known bloggers. Most of the time, we went with either Christina or Jeremmy - so we weren't allowed to get into trouble on our own. Before we started each journey, we usually planned ahead. We gave our recipients a call to confirm if they were available to receive the cookies. Upon confirmation, the location of the publication houses and bloggers are saved into Waze in order to avoid unnecessary traffic. We also then decide which location to go first and thereafter so that we arrive on time, and so that we are not da...

Orchan Company Trip to Bali (30 September 2014 - 4 October 2014) Orchan recently had our company trip to Bali, Indonesia (last year). Bali is a magical land where one can enjoy the best of both worlds (busy and quiet), it’s the perfect destination for a getaway. It was rather a bonding moment for Orchan family and a much needed getaway from the bustling life of KL. Some of us weren't shy when it comes to photo-taking. We hopped on an AirAsia plane to Bali from KLIA2, witnessing sunset over the horizon as we were up in the air. The flight was rather amusing to see the look of some catching Zs. We arrived at Ngurah Rai International Airport (also known as Denpasar International Airport) in time for dinner. Sunset over the horizon. Catching some Zs. Arrived at Ngurah Rai Intertnational Airport. After a long flight and a hearty dinner, fatigue and lethargy had caught up. It was already half past midnight when we arrived at our stay, Casa Ganesha...
