Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Mediaspace.global, a unique form of social network platform targeting the media, marketing, tech, and regulation industries, is primed to enter the Southeast Asian landscape through a collaboration with Malaysian-based communications agency Orchan.
Mediaspace.global was founded in January 2020 with the aim to connect industry players at all levels and provide a platform for them to interact, share, and leverage opportunities and thought leadership. Members of the platform are able to connect with like-minded individuals to explore industry trends, and its Leadership Club covers members from fresh graduates in the industry through to seasoned industry members.
With more than a year since its launch, Mediaspace.global has been connecting industry players primarily across Europe. According to the platform, its Founder Kinga Incze recognized the opportunity to have regional hubs to extend the reach, and to help bring European opportunities to Asia, as well as to bring Asian media, contributors, and brands to Europe and other geographies.
The platform said that 14% of its current membership profile comes from the Asia-Pacific region, clearly presenting the interest from the region, and therefore an opportunity for further curation of content and events relevant to the APAC market of Southeast Asia.
Incze said that up to now, the media industry has been operating in quite a physical manner and that it is now time to build a global B2B space where Mediaspace.global aims to lead the way.
“We are excited to strengthen our outreach and professional activities through Southeast Asia with this collaborative partnership, and look forward to bringing and sharing exciting ideas, activities, and events to the region, as well as broadening our respective global connections,” said Incze.
Orchan, whose founding team had been keenly contributing to the platform, has now been partnered to help realize the expansion.
Orchan Founding Director, Farrell Tan, commented, “We believe that Mediaspace.global’s unique positioning and current pool of professionals is a welcome addition for professionals wanting to network with other like-minded professionals within media, communications, and even tech across Europe, the Baltic Regions and beyond.”
He adds, “In a time of Covid, and in an increasingly borderless world, where communication and networking [have] the ability to open up doors to various opportunities, it would be remiss for professionals to not leverage on the platform to further position themselves as thought leaders in their respective fields.”
Plans for Mediaspace.global in Asia will include monthly industry online get-togethers, ‘On-point’ thematic workshops, trend-sharing podcasts, and the development of an industry-specific program to help students seek international experience and opportunities via the network.
