🏀 Won second place in the 2024 community 3v3 basketball game, representing Sembawang Central! 🎉 It was an interesting game– a combination of two old players and two youths competing in the men's open. This highlights not only the good old times and the thrill of winning the game, but most importantly, the legacy- passed from one generation to the next. The game isn’t just about the dribbles and the adrenaline rush of the game. More than that, it’s the shared experience, mentorship, and the teamwork. It's about the legacy we impart for future generations to carry forward. Legacy is not just about leaving something for people. It's about leaving something in people. This is a great reminder to inspire the future generations to seize the torch and continue the race. #Basketball #SembawangCentral #Teamwork #CommunityEvent #legacy

Maybe my first blog post (ever) will answer some of your questions... at least 'why yakker.?' and 'why your own agency?'. Maybe it will leave you with more. I hope you enjoy a snippet of my thinking. #sport #sportsbusiness #sponsorship #partnerships #thinkdifferent #marketing #agency #consulting

100M Plays! The Instagram Reel we captured featuring Zendaya and Tom Holland at finals day at the BNP PARIBAS OPEN has to-date delivered a mind-boggling plays count and been distributed across the likes of Vogue, GQ and many other publications. This post, according to my calculations, is up there with one of the all time best performing IG Reels since the format was introduced to Instagram, and while many accounts posted about Zendaya and her boyfriend’s appearance on Finals Day, I believe it is our thought-through approach that is reflective of our entire process in delivering tournament content that truly made this post ‘pop’. Here is why: 🎾This video captures a high profile couple in a relaxed and natural moment at a world class sporting event 🎵 The Whitney Houston song they are naturally enjoying is about connection and relationships, aligning nicely to their own image ⭐️ The caption used was quirky and encouraged commentary. After all, it is subjective to determine who truly is the biggest star … 🔝 Aspirational nature of the footage. It showcases the tournament as a destination to relax, enjoy company and watch world class tennis. The Indian Wells ‘experience’ It feels somewhat ironic. As a team we rarely spoke about ‘numbers’ during our three weeks together onsite in Indian Wells. Of course we were prudent enough to keep one eye open on performance measures, but the emphasis and priority for me was always on creativity, well thought-through, strategically aligned content and pushing boundaries with the meaning of what tennis-related content is and can be. No one can know the formula to deliver a nine-figure Play count on social video. What we demonstrated, however, is that consistent creativity over a period of time, putting yourselves in the right position to leverage a major moment, and capitalising with a clear point of differentiation, will offer the best possible chance of success. Overall, was this our most creative post during our three weeks onsite? No. Is this the post that I am most proud of creating? Also no - much of our other content far surpasses this creatively. Did we ensure to maximise the impact of a popular moment? Absolutely yes - and having worked on adidas’ NEO account some years ago when Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were ambassadors, I have experience in understanding the potential for heightened fan reaction if done correctly… I take the most pride in how as a team Way to Play fostered a positive culture of supporting and challenging one another, delivering consistently day after day at a truly world class event. Numbers such as these are an unexpected (and welcome) bonus. https://lnkd.in/e9XqRYXJ #SportsBiz #Tennis #IndianWells #SocialMedia

🌟 Excited to share the magic of localization! 🌍✨ As a devoted fan of the classic Turkish series EZEL, an adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo," I couldn't help but appreciate how my colleague Hüseyin Karagöz brilliantly incorporated a quote from the series to praise Tarik Biberovic's outstanding performance. In the vibrant world of Turkish entertainment, this kind of post resonates deeply with the audience. The secret lies in localization – understanding the nuances, feeling the pulse of the streets, and speaking the language of the people. It's an art that goes beyond mere translation and taps into the cultural heartbeat. The results speak for themselves – a single reels post orchestrated a 15% growth in follower numbers and garnered a whopping 127,000 likes on a 37,000 follower account. That's the power of connecting authentically with your audience. Remember, you can't achieve this level of engagement with a generic ChatGPT translation. The essence lies in immersing yourself in the local culture. So, if you're looking to expand your reach and make a splash in a new market, embrace the magic of localization. Feel the vibes, speak the language, and watch your influence soar. Trust me, it's the easiest way to break through barriers and captivate your audience. Do it! 🚀🌐. #TrendAgency #localization

How'd they do it? Malaysian squash juniors won more than just one gold with some finals featuring competing contenders from Malaysia itself. The youngest winner came from the under 13 category. What were you doing at when you were 13? I bet some 13-year-olds today are still learning to tie their shoe laces. When I was 13, I hung out with some bad boys a year my senior before class began at 2:30pm of Fridays. We hung out at the nearby recreational park like some young gangsters wannabes. Although I was their "victim" when I first entered the school, we soon got acquainted after the opposing spells. God knows what went through their minds. But what I remember then was instead of getting threatened by then, I was part of their crew to smoke a few sticks of cigarettes while gulping down some fruit punch on those hot afternoons. Yeah, so much for being gangsters. After warming up to the weekly routine at the park, one afternoon they asked me to take a step further by extorting some younger pupils off their money or whatever valuables they had with them. Although it crossed my mind to do it out of peer pressure, I'm glad I didn't because it just wasn't and still isn't the right thing to do. My time with them as friends continued after that but only confined to Friday afternoons at the park. We still smoked like some young punks but I was really happy when I didn't have to see them again after school ended that yearbecause I've already applied for a transfer to somewhere closer to where I lived. Why? Because there's only so many cigarettes you can smoke while driving fruit punch looking like some morons playing gangsta! Lessons learnt? Teenagers are pretty ambitious, unrealistic and crazy. If and when our energy is channeled in the right direction, we should be able to scale mountains and fly to the moon. But if not, oh well, we could really just go on to graduate as gangsters and smoking everything from cigarettes, weeds, ice, you name it, we'll smoke it. As much as teenagers have to take responsibility for their actions, we adults have a greater responsibility to keep them on the right lane and not fall off the cliff when they push too far to the limits or catch them when they do fall off. When in doubt, refer to these champions as examples. They may offer better clues to our growing teenagers than what our nagging tone can do over hundreds and thousands of lectures. Bravo Malaysian squash juniors, you've done exceedingly well 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 #squash #sports #juniors #malaysia #asianchampionstrophy #asia https://lnkd.in/gppgcGiu

📸🇯🇵 𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 For the first time in a year, we were interviewed again by Nikkei , one of Japan's largest media. In the context of connecting Europe and Asia through football, the article mentions KMSK DEINZE's achievements as seen in the acceptance of players from the PVF academy in Vietnam and the growth of Marcelino from Indonesia. It also mentions the expansion of career paths for players as a result of the capital participation in Charlton Athletic Football Club within the process of forming a multi-club ownership.
