The Naughty Duo - When PR Does Advertising So, you might ask, since we are a PR Agency, would we ever engage in advertising? Our job is to tell clients why a limited budget should be spent on PR initiatives as opposed to ads, but the truth of the matter is advertising and PR work hand in hand (with social media and other initiatives) to create an overall representation of a brand. Therefore, it is only logical, and beneficial, that sometimes it does happen, and we advertise; and we at Orchan have been known to create some pretty distinctive advertisements and occasionally advertise in publications that meet our business needs.   Following all things Orchan, there is a particular 'identity' that we follow - this has evolved through the years, and has stuck because it represents us so well - different, not afraid to challenge the norms, quirky, colourful, and embracing of change.   One campaign Orchan especially enjoyed was a series we did with Advertising+Marke...

Orchan Hosts a Group of University of Southern California Students during their Malaysian Business Study Tour Part of our responsibility to the business community is to ensure that we are available to help not only the current generation of business persons and practitioners, but also to be ready to train and mentor future generations. For it is the future generations that will take over our places as we get older (if we ever allow ourselves to retire), but it is also these generations that look up to us all in the industry today to see what we are doing, why and how we are doing it, and to learn from current best practice. In March last year, we were honoured to be invited by the Marshall School of Business (University of Southern California) to facilitate a session with their students on the PR industry landscape in Malaysia. This group of high-achievers, both undergraduate and graduate business students, were undertaking a practical immersion course in Singapore and Mala...

SCS Butter Reinvigorates Familiar Chinese New Year Classics To usher in the Year of the Ram this Chinese New Year, SCS has taken on the ambitious task of reinvigorating one of our familiar festival classics, the pineapple tart.

Orchan's PR Executive - The other one Ola! My name is Joenathan Jeremmy Jeffery and I’m here to tell you a little bit about myself. I know it’s a long name (my mother came up with it) but you can call me Jeremmy, for short. Some may ask, why not Joe? Probably because there’s more than enough Joe’s around, and I don’t intend to be just another Joe that you used to know. Anyway, I bear the title of PR Executive for the cult that I am currently in; Orchan Consulting. I have dedicated my life to being the slave of the PR industry, after offering 28 steamed chickens at the altar of the Gods. Essentially, I enjoy the company of nice people and food. I take the pleasure of being occupied by unanimated objects (my smartphone). By day, I’m a PR practitioner; and by night, I see myself as an avid gamer. On weekends, I stay at home. Filming an Indonesian sinetron (soap opera) - I wish. My close friends (yes, I have friends) declared that I am selectively-social, even tho...

Farrell Tan Founding Director "The Other Boss", but you better call him Farrell So apparently it’s my turn to share a bit about myself. Around the office, I’m often referred to as “the other boss.” And compared to the rest of the team, I’m definitely the more marcom person;  having cut my teeth in international agencies, mentored by some of the best in the business. Truth be told, I never pictured myself in this line of work. Never in a million years did I imagine co-owning an agency with a Kiwi (not the fruit, though some would argue otherwise!) - working with brands I admire and, in many cases, grew up with. Life’s funny that way. I grew up in a fairly utilitarian household in Melaka. My dad was a teacher, my mum a nurse, and like all good government servants, they preached the importance of education: tuition, extra-curriculars, the works. Luckily for us, there wasn’t much to distract us in small-town Melaka back then, other than tree-climbing, neighbourhoo...

Piper-Heidsieck "I'm going to bed with a drop of Chanel  N°5 and wake up with a glass of Piper," said Marilyn Monroe. Such a desirable statement from a desirable icon of her time is testament to the delightful Piper-Heidsieck, the bubbly first created in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck. And for over 229 years, the band has redefined glamorous, extravagance and creativity in an audacious yet elegant way. Orchan was engaged to communicate brand values of Piper-Heidsieck to media on a project basis, ensuring that media understood the pedigree of the brand. The Audacious Piper-Heidsieck by Passions
