My first experience with virtual reality (VR) was an unexpected one. While visiting an associate’s office, I was promptly ushered to her colleague’s workstation, where an Oculus Rift waited to wrap around my head. I didn’t know what I was getting into, but as I was putting it on, she told me to “to and stand as still as you can”. “Challenge accepted,” I thought. Well, never have I been so wrong! Not the exact roller coaster ride I was on, but you the gist. Sourced from www.riftinfo.com It may not look like it, but while I had the headset on, it sure felt like I was moving along with the roller coaster. I almost removed it, but intrigue surpassed “fear”. So, when Farrell came and discussed with the team about introducing US VR Global Inc to the media, I was excited. The idea of combining technology with playtime beyond smart devices appealed to me, and I liked the idea of reintroducing the concept of playgrounds to young generation. Here’s what you need to know about ...

While going through Ragan’s PR Daily just the other day, I came across Robby Brumberg’s article on why PR pros make great parents. While I may not be a parent (yet), most of his points parallel a friend’s experience with her children. As a PR practitioner and a parent, she especially agreed to Robby’s third point on “reframing bad situations in a positive light”. Check out his article below, or click here to read it on Ragan’s PR Daily. Do share with us if you’ve thought about other PR practices that help with parenting. Why PR Pros Make Great Parents Image source: www.123rf.com What’s the secret to parenting? Mankind continues to seek answers regarding the vexing pursuit of child-rearing, but I may have found a break in the case. There’s no right way to raise little ones, and no proven methods of fostering responsible consumption of cookies or “Paw Patrol,” but it’s clear that PR pros have a huge head start when it comes to parenting. Public relations practices,...

The Servcorp Skyline About eighteen (18) months ago, Orchan had the privilege to launch Servcorp Malaysia’s then newest serviced suite complex in the fashionable, and certainly iconic Nu Sentral. A small affair, with clients, friends of Servcorp, and a few media in attendance, Servcorp Nu Sentral was opened with all the fanfare and sophistication of a high end property launch. Fast forward to last evening; and we were at it again. This time, in the very swanky Ilham Tower, just opposite The Troika – on the fringe of Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle. Think miles and miles of steel, acres of shiny, reflective glass, and stunning architectural design that would ensure any architect remains on the map; Ilham Tower certainly represents the new breed of skyscrapers; and Servcorp’s ultra-sleek and certainly impressive Level 33 facility screams style and professionalism, in a stunningly conservative way, of course. It was a rainy Kuala Lumpur evening, as one can expect for this time...

Second Chances Are Always Good Intern Richard and girlfriend “Good Morning, Richard from Orchan Consulting, how may I help you?” That’s the first thing I learnt in Orchan. I’m 21 years old and currently in the last year of my Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations. Like most undergraduates, I have been looking forward to starting my internship. I just like how it throws me into the actual working environment, rather than forces me to read textbooks.  Finding an Internship I was browsing through the web looking for companies offering internships, when I found Orchan. It struck me, “where have I heard this before?” (I heard it from a sharing session of a senior, Yi Jing.) Being curious, I dug deeper and found Orchan’s website. The groovy music was somewhat amusing, and those weird-looking Orchanites jumping and running around was freaking awesome. Never had I ever come across a website like this. Without knowing, I read through Orchan’s entire website, and found out what they...

It’s funny how many marketers consider hipsters’ need to be different (and actually being different) as one of the significant challenges of selling conventional products to them; when as a matter of choice, brands can comfortably win by looking at it the other way around – that is by being different themselves. Here’s an example of how products which are not appealing to a typical hipster can be turned into an otherwise eye candy to many hipsters out there. Artist Shows How to Repackage Junk Food So That Hipsters Would Buy It You'll never find a box of Cap'n Crunch or a pack of Slim Jims in a hipster's house. Why? Well, aside from the fact that neither are organic, the colors of the packaging would simply clash too much with all of the other artfully designed products in their food cupboard. But what would such products look like if they too had the hipster makeover? Well take a look at the pictures below to see for yourself. They were created by Dan Meth, a ...
