Malaysia Goes Social Media!

Feb. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- The Star (15 Jan 2011) recently has reported that Malaysia, according to various studies, is among the most connected countries in the Asia Pacific region. In 2009, Comscore reported that in Malaysia, social networking penetrates 84.7% of Malaysians, with people visiting a social networking site 22 times a month. That same year, Malaysian users also accounted for 30% of overall Facebook users, which constitutes 18% of the total population. There are about 16 million Internet users in Malaysia and IDC Research has projected Malaysian Internet users to reach 20.4 million by 2012.

As the demand for social media is on the rise, businesses need to track consumers' online behaviors and leverage social marketing tools in order to reach their desired audiences. Social marketing and networking can increase customer loyalty and enhance branding awareness.

Moreover, Alex Hunter is making his first time appearance in Malaysia to conduct the 1-day workshop. He is the former Head of Online Marketing, The Virgin Group who oversaw the front-end development of its website. This will be a bonus for those who wish to discover how to kick start an Online Community for your organization. Along with that, there will be case studies sharing by speakers from Microsoft, DELL, Digi, Maybank, RHB, LinkedIn, JobStreet, Text 100, NSTP, Intel, Alt Media and Vocanic.
