MOE selects Maxus and Up BrandBuzz

SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Education (MOE) has awarded communications duties to Maxus Singapore and local boutique Up BrandBuzz after a nine-way pitch.

According to MOE, incumbent BrandOne’s contract was not renewed after one year as it was looking for “fresh ideas”.

“The winning team was picked because we felt that the changes they had proposed for our current campaign fitted in seamlessly and they produced some interesting new strategies,” explained the spokesperson.

The campaign, aimed at drawing professionals and college students into teaching, will be a mix of print, TV and below-the-line.
