  • How we help introverts present

    Why are some people such naturals at presentations, and what can you do if you are not but your job requires public speaking? We have found the answer to both these questions, as HBM's Mark Laudi explains.

  • Tom Chng brings out the human face of watches in online interview

    ​Think about watch collectors and you might imagine technical discussions about watch faces, dials, or movements. But Tom Chng of the Singapore Watch Club goes into the stories of each watch, making us nominate him for the Hong Bao Media Savvy Awards 2020.

  • Dr Lau Cher Han breaks through the complexity of data in BFM interview

    Data has been described as the new oil, yet in trying to explain it on camera you run the risk of either boring or confusing your audience. Thankfully viewers can turn to Dr Lau Cher Han, who uses analogies to break down the complexity so well that we are nominating him for the Hong Bao Media Savvy Awards 2020.

  • Bryan Chin puts best foot forward in sneaker preview

    Bryan Chin is so relaxed on camera you would think you are speaking to a friend instead of an interviewee. This is why we have nominated him for the Hong Bao Media Savvy Awards 2020. Some business leaders could follow in his footsteps. Okay, maybe not barefoot, but at least not so straight-laced.

  • Quek Siu Rui focuses on the human aspect of tech in Ferris Wheel merry-go-round

    What goes around comes around, as Quek Siu Rui showed in a recent interview on Bloomberg. The co-founder and CEO of Carousell focuses on how the marketplace app connects people. It's a winning approach many corporate spokespeople could learn from, and is one of the reasons why we have nominated him for the Hong Bao Media Savvy Awards 2020.

  • Damian Lee of Sunnyhills is exemplary for smooth storytelling

    ​Damian Lee of Sunnyhills impressed us with the calm and effortless way he tells his stories during an interview with The Royal Singapore. We like that his stories are interesting and humorous, but they are also on point with his brand’s message.

  • Sunshine Kingdom CEO gives colourful interview in a meaningfully bright shirt

    Wearing a bright shirt on camera is not usually a good idea - unless you're CEO of Sunshine Kingdom, and it's done with purpose. Aesos Lai looked the part in a T-shirt with the image of a durian, as he talks about his Malaysian brand of durian products in a media interview. Even more importantly, he uses good interview techniques, as we discuss in this story.

  • Eric Chua nails YouthTech interview with conviction

    We rarely nominate politicians to these awards, to avoid any allegations of bias. But we can't help but nominate Eric Chua, Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, who displays excellent presentation skills, not least of which is the conviction with which he speaks.
