Speaking about the creeative strategy , an M&C Saatchi spokesperson said, “The idea is progressing Asia via communication, technology and talent. The campaign line is Advancing Asia. We started the campaign with a teaser to create anticipation for the ‘re-birth’ of this company with footprint across Asia and a new vision to advance Asia to a better, brighter future. It’s followed by a pure announcement ‘name change’ ad and finally the launch ad – Axiata, piecing together connectivity, technology and talent.”
