Hong Bao Media has officially launched the third edition of the Hong Bao Media Savvy Awards 2019, to recognise local Senior Business Leaders for their media skills, to realise Hong Bao Media's vision of ensuring every Asian business leader is a world-class presenter.
Hong Bao Media has launched a first in Singapore": It conveys to in-house marketing professionals must-have skills in front of and behind the camera. In partnership with Moore's Lore Media and Shootsta, "Video Savvy LIVE - How to produce videos in time and on budget" is a blended learning workshop, with strong emphasis on hands-on practise.
By applying CliftonStrengths coaching techniques, our Gallup-certified Principal Coach and HBM Managing Director Mark Laudi is able to help even the most introverted executive tap into their natural talents and get comfortable in front of live audiences or on camera.
If you are senior – or lucky – enough to have a speech writer, it’s time to either change their job description, or to let them go.
Hong Bao Media and Shootsta are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration to equip corporate communications and marketing professionals with the tools and skills they need to produce video content in-house.
If there are two takeaways for disciples of communication from this year's ConnecTech in Singapore, they are (1) the rise of 5G, and (2) the proliferation of live streaming platforms - with huge implications for communications professionals and their senior leadership teams.
Without any further ado, can you please consign this eye-rolling cliché to history. It is now so common for on-stage presenters to wrap their opening or housekeeping remarks with this phrase that my eyes are rolling constantly.
In the whole Brexit chaos, the person who has impressed me the most is the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow.

In the wake of the gun attack on two mosques in Christchurch this month, one question being asked is whether live video streaming apps should be banned. Here is my answer.
A surprising number of media training participants have asked me why they can't just speak their minds like Donald Trump. They admire his courage to say what he thinks. But while I have some sympathy with the motivation, it does not follow that you should follow Trump's example. Here are six reasons why.
The discussion about policing fake news misses one important point. Sure, people shouldn’t publish rubbish and pass it off as news. But news consumers must become better judges of whether stories are truthful.
People who are saying LinkedIn Live is late to the video live streaming party are missing the point. The network is designed for business people sharing meaningful, valuable content - and that will apply to live video, too. I cannot overstate the significance of this. Senior business leaders who want to make a success of LinkedIn Live will have to take an entirely different approach.
Recently, a group of your staff came to my TV studio for executive presence training and shared a surprising frustration: when they present to you and the senior leadership team, the hardest thing is to get your attention. The message you are sending your staff when you and the SLT don't pay attention is you don't care – and neither should they. Is that the culture you want in your organisation?

Our marketing strategists battle it out in our live webcast over what you could do if you were Gillette's communications director - and what your next move would be.
Two companies say something explosive to customers, but we see two different reactions by social media users. In the first story, Kolkata's South City Mall criticises a nursing mother for breastfeeding on its premises – and is pilloried. In the second, DHL criticises the recipient of a parcel for complaining about a late delivery, yet users come to DHL's rescue.
It's ten years since marketers took to content marketing in a big way, producing credible, thought-leading video content to engage their current and prospective customers, and to drive sales. Now, another trend is ready for the big time: live video webcasts.
No matter how you turn it, Brexit is just a shambles, irrespective of the EU signing off on the separation agreement. Mark Laudi offers candid opinions on this and other news of the day in Jason Dasey's weekly wrap up of the major stories on MONEY FM 89.3.
