AnyMind Group, a technology company in the marketing, entertainment, HR and direct-to-consumer industries, has today announced its participation in #YoungCreators, an initiative under the #SayaDigital movement organised by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), to support Malaysians to take the digital leap to become content creators, and ultimately, reshape the future of Malaysia’s Digital Economy.
#SayaDigital Movement is a month-long national program organised by MDEC to create awareness, adoption and advocacy of digitalisation to further promote digitally-skilled Malaysians and digitally-powered businesses in Malaysia. Being part of the #SayaDigital Movement, the #YoungCreators initiative aims to develop the potential of young Malaysians to become content creators by encouraging them to generate income through digital and social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Binumi, Instagram and Snapchat.
AnyMind Group, through its entertainment tech brands including CastingAsia and CastingAsia Creators Network, will be supporting MDEC’s #SayaDigital Movement and #YoungCreators initiatives through an influencer marketing campaign with influencers spanning micro to mega-influencers, celebrities and entrepreneurs, including CastingAsia Creators Network influencers in Malaysia. These marketing campaigns look to create awareness of the #SayaDigital Movement and #YoungCreators initiative, as well as enable the dissemination of informational content to inspire TikTok users to participate in the contest arranged during the #YoungCreators initiative.
Ten lucky winners will be selected from the TikTok contest and the winners will have a chance to enrol in a six-month program to further develop their digital presence on platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook (through training and monetization services).
The five best-performing participants will then be enrolled in a second six-month program, where AnyMind Group will utilize further resources including production resources from CastingAsia Creators Network and the development of direct-to-consumer capabilities through AnyMind D2C.
