When skincare meets makeup magic. Orchan was proud to play a part in introducing Jane Iredale - The Skincare Makeup® to Malaysia, marking the brand’s very first foray into the local beauty scene. What makes Jane Iredale different? Simple: it’s makeup that loves your skin back. Long before “clean beauty” became a buzzword, Jane Iredale was already ahead of the curve. Her products were created with micronised minerals, free from fillers, binders, dyes, and preservatives: a godsend for anyone conscious about what goes onto their skin. It’s this pioneering spirit that’s made the brand a trusted favourite among celebrities, physicians, and beauty aficionados worldwide. The woman behind the brand Jane Iredale didn’t start in a lab - she started in Hollywood. As a casting director working with the likes of Lauren Hutton, Jaclyn Smith, Cybill Shephard, Susan Sarandon, Glenn Close, and Sarah Jessica Parker, she saw first-hand how much skin health impacted confidence and careers.

Blast from the Past: Plaza Phoenix (Cheras Sentral) When we took on Plaza Phoenix (now known as Cheras Sentral) as a client, we were challenged to step outside our comfort zone. As opposed to just announcing the rebrand and redevelopment to the community, we faced with a few other PR issues to restart the project. But, the hurdle did not end there. What should we do when the developer was unable to bring a group of over 125 strata title owners in order to move forward? Internal communication. Previously, we wrote about the importance of internal communication (if you haven’t read about it, you can read it here) and it became a vital component in our communication strategy. Considering it involved over 125 parties, it’s fair to say it took some time. But most importantly, we became the trusted go-between for the parties and were able to put across non-emotional information to all who were involved, in a straight forward manner. Besides undertaking the responsibiliti...

Humans of Orchan | Darius Khaw Look, I'm not good at introductions but I'll do my best. Let's get started. I'm Darius, a 23-year-old Malaysian, undertaking my Bachelor's degree in Public Relations at KDU University College. I am an AVID gamer; I love planting my butt in front of the computer and speeding my day in virtual worlds. But BOY OH BOY, do I love fish and nature as well. I could stare at them for hours on end. Gaming, looking at fish and nature is my ideal version of a relaxing time. Actually, I’m planning on starting an aquarium and terrarium someday.   Despite being an avid gamer, I'm not a typical one. I LOVE sports; no, I don't mean football, basketball or badminton. I mean proper adrenaline rushing sports. Paintball, rock-climbing, bungee jumping, jet skiing, paragliding; you name it, I'm there. If it's dangerous and gets my blood pumping, I'm up for it. What's life without a little excitement and thrill?   Before we g...
