KUALA LUMPUR, 9 August 2021 - The small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been facing an unprecedented disruption when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world more than a year ago. Astro continues its effort in supporting the affected enterprises with the launch of Time to Evolve campaign featuring experts from various industries who will share professional insights to help the SMEs in searching for new business opportunities.
Astro has always been committed in assisting the SMEs with initiatives including Reignite SMEs' contest under its Business Talk umbrella, #MELODYSupportsSME' programme by MELODY and XUANBah!' e-commerce platform. Through these initiatives, business owners were offered free advertising packages to gain optimal exposure for new business opportunities leveraging Astro's high penetration.
This year, Astro introduces the Time to Evolve campaign with the Watch, Learn and Evolve' tagline, which focuses on helping SMEs to identify their weaknesses and turn around to survive the pandemic.
Wong Siah Ping, Vice President of Astro Chinese Customer Business said, With the pandemic going on for more than a year and the nation undergoing a prolonged lockdown, transformation is unevitable especially for the SMEs. We hope to be able to help these enterprises in observing, learning and evolving from the crisis in order to revive their businesses.
