  • The “Golden Photography” program by OPPO seeks to provide digital empowerment.

    Through its smartphone photography course, which is open only to elderly folks, OPPO upholds its commitment to “Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World,” making sure that no one is left behind in terms of digital empowerment and technological know-how.

    Held in partnership with Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Bengkel Teknologi Senior, OPPO provided a group of 19 senior citizens with the opportunity to upskill and pursue creativity through the smartphone photography masterclass which included modules of shooting true-to-life portraits as well as bokeh photographs using the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ smartphone. 

    “We firmly believe that everyone has boundless potential and creativity when given the right tools and opportunities and we are hoping to unearth this skillset amongst the senior citizens, who are often left behind in an increasingly digital world. Through the OPPO Reno10 Pro+, the senior citizen generation can develop their interest in photography which will allow them to snap precious moments with their family and friends,” said OPPO’s Marketing Manager, Monica Qin. 

     

     

    The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ takes ultra-clear pictures in any and every situation, all thanks to the help of its industry-leading flagship camera system, enabling the senior citizens to capture natural and intimate portraits with their family and friends without having to compromise on quality.

    Capturing the essence of portrait photography, the senior citizens were able to snap precious moments using the OPPO Reno10 Pro+’s 64MP telephoto portrait and Pro Portrait Mode which greatly enhanced the portrait-taking experience. 

    For Wan Farhah, age 61, the workshop masterclass is one way she is able to explore boundless creativity and pursue a hobby and interest that is near and dear to her. 

    “The OPPO Golden Photography workshop gave us a good understanding on how to use the telephoto portrait camera on our smartphones. I had so much fun, especially during the walkabout tour that I wished the session was a little longer. I will be on a lookout on for the next workshop and this time, hopefully we would also be able to learn about landscape photography and other aspects of photography since my husband and I like to travel and take pictures of the scenery and the diverse cultures.” said Wan Farhah. 

     

    Through its OPPO Golden Photography workshop, OPPO solidifies its role as a technological frontrunner and continuously reinforces its dedication to creating experiences that bridge generations through innovation. The workshop underscores OPPO’s unwavering commitment to ensure that every individual, regardless of age, is inspired to harness the power of technology and innovation to unlock their fullest potential, one portrait photo at a time.

    “The thing about senior citizens is that as we grow older, we feel ourselves becoming increasingly irrelevant, so when companies like OPPO conduct programmes like these, it draws us back in and we feel worthy and energized. We believe we are still capable of learning new things, and this is an eureka moment for us. I’m impressed with the level of openness to share and the hands-on sessions OPPO has put together for us. Engaging us senior citizens is a good initiative from OPPO and I hope there is continuity to such programs, as it helps keep us seniors updated in the increasingly digitalised world,” said Raveendran Subramaniam, age 72. 

    More ways for senior citizen customers to enjoy OPPO-exclusive rewards

    In line with its ambition to digitally equip senior citizens, OPPO offered participants of the workshop with a smartphone voucher worth RM66, in conjunction with the 66th National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations. The complimentary voucher enables them with more opportunities to experience OPPO’s range of smartphone products.

  • Due to its fantastic cartier drone light display, 33.3 wins two gold awards.

    Due to its fantastic cartier drone light display, 33.3 wins two gold awards.

    At the 14th annual Agency of the Year Awards, popularly known as Markies Awards, 33.3 (or “the Agency”) was named the GOLD winner in 2 exceptional categories, namely Most Effective Use (Events) and Most Effective Use (Experiential). The recognition is due to the Agency’s top-notch implementation of the Cartier drone light show in December 2022.

    Formed in 2019 by co-founders, Edwin Raj, Lau Hoe Yin (aka Blink) and Zulamran Hilmi with a conjoined mission to push confines of communication and create impactful forms of storytelling, 33.3 is renowned within the Asian creative industry for producing cutting edge music videos especially for Malaysia’s very own global pop R&B export, Yuna and The President of Malaysian Hip Hop, Joe Flizzow. “This win hits different because it is a solid indicator that we are more than what the industry especially our prospects and stakeholders perceive us to be. In an industry that relies heavily on creativity and innovation, we take pride in delivering exceptional levels of undertaking with every brief, be it music videos or a straight forward activation request to elevate brand experience” explains Edwin Raj, 33.3’s co-founder who started his career as a van driver for local productions and working his way up to a much sought after TV Producer known for his progressive ideas.

    The Cartier drone light show was the highlight of the luxury brand’s ‘Into The Wild’ global campaign designed especially for Malaysia. It was the first projects of such scale to be held at the iconic KLCC Twin Towers post-pandemic and 33.3 is the only Malaysian company to have been given the approval to execute a drone light show at the park. For this project, 33.3 partnered with an internationally acclaimed drone solutions company, SKYMAGIC, based in the UK. 

    Zulamran, a design, culture and art enthusiast who’s also a co-founder of this unique homegrown agency says, “Working closely with such a prestigious luxury brand such as Cartier and the international agency Auditore was a fulfilling experience; with key learnings of process, workflow and protocols to be fulfilled with no room for error”.

    “The process and planning alone took 90 days of detailing – from design, animation, synchronisation, application of permit and relevant approvals including strategy concerning public safety were precisely presented and revised accordingly as per client’s requirements. This is also the first time KLCC has allowed for such a feat as the location has been previously gazetted as a no fly zone. Though challenged by the storm, we are grateful for the assistance from the Meteorological Department of Malaysia, who skillfully calculated a window of opportunity to fulfill our mission. Ultimately, with the guidance from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia and the Royal Police Force (PDRM), we managed to execute the production safely, flying 300 drones to the beautiful KL skyline to form iconic shapes and designs that represent Cartier’s Into The Wild campaign. Our gratitude also goes out to Auditoire as the agency that gave us the platform and not forgetting the KLCC Management for their continuous support throughout the project ”, he added. 

    With sustainability being one of the Agency’s pillars to its creative practice and approach, the drone light show strictly followed current regulations and adhering their commitment to environmental responsibility. Zul also mentioned that the best part was hearing and watching the crowd’s reaction everytime the drones transformed into different shapes – driving home the idea of ‘experiential’ and ‘elevating brand experience’.  

    Perhaps the one thing that unequivocally unifies the three co-founders is their love for music and with Lau Hoe Yin (or better known as Blink) completing the pack, 33.3 stood out as a force to be reckoned with, not just in Malaysia but within the Asian region. Dubbed the Malaysian superstar DJ which inevitably positioned him as an influencer, Blink prefers to take it all in stride. “33.3 is a product of great teamwork. We may come from different backgrounds, be it our upbringing or professional life, but it is our mutual respect towards each other that is the heart of this agency. In a short span of 4 years, 33.3 has managed to work on defining projects with renowned global brands such as Cartier, Disney, Marvel, PRADA, Tourism Malaysia, Johor Darul Takzim FC, Bulan Bintang, DefJam, Netflix and many more. Speaking for both my partners in arms, Edwin and Zul, I believe that the best has yet to come and until then, we will continue to fill up the skies with drones and of course, producing amazing music videos”, says Blink unassumingly.

    Aligned with this win; and the progressive growth and demand in content, digital media and activation industries, 33.3 has seen an incline in revenue of 8 – 12%. For the record, 33.3 is the first Malaysian company to have executed 6 highly technical drone light show productions with 2 Malaysia Book of Records broken for most number of drones used in a light show (up to 350 drones for one particular project). “The Cartier drone light show held the record for a good 5 months before it was replaced with a local company that is all about the moon and the stars also executed by 33.3…”, Edwin gushed and continued, “but maybe that’s a story for another time”. 

    In 2021, 33.3 was the proud recipient of the Markies’ Local Hero Award. Organised by advertising+marketing, the Agency of the Year Awards is designed to measure, reward and recognise Malaysia’s top-performing marketing and advertising agencies. All entries were evaluated and judged by a panel of experienced marketers and industry experts.
