Young Business Leaders | It Starts Today | Singapore

Singapore's Young Business Leaders, an initiative under the National Youth Council, has launched a national campaign to offer support and to motivate local citizens during the recession.

The ‘It Starts Today’ campaign is a project encouraging Singaporeans to think positively and to unite together during bad times. The microsite targets entrepreneurs and corporate leaders to share their thoughts and support for businesses and individuals with tips and resources. Visitors would gain access to case studies, help packages and postings on job vacancies through the site.

A ‘Beat the Recession’ music video, featuring local celebrities, was also produced which showcases the day-to-day lives of four Singaporeans overcoming the recession positively. This is a pro-bono initiative by Shooting Gallery, Yellow Box, TNBT and Fly Entertainment.

“No matter how bad things may appear, being positive will help us open our eyes to windows of opportunities. What is most important is the fact that many Singaporeans are willing to come together and play their part to help the community. This was done with sincerity from the heart, not the pocket,” said Sebastian Tan, group managing director of Shooting Gallery.

The music video will run through outdoor media across Singapore and other online media channels such as YouTube, Facebook and Yahoo.
