The company\u2019s partnership with the nation\u2019s leading integrated media network is aimed at deepening Panasonic\u2019s product penetration across the larger Malaysian households.<\/p>\n<p>Tapping into the upcoming Ramadan and Raya festive season, this innovative collaboration entails a multi-platform content partnership, which builds a tailored brand persona for Panasonic to appeal to the wider mass Malay consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Cheng Chee Chung, Managing Director of Panasonic Malaysia said, \u201cWith over 40 years of local presence, Panasonic is synonymous with quality electrical products for many Malaysian households. We are committed to enriching the lives of our consumers by delivering good quality and durable products that fulfil their ever changing lifestyles, making each family occasion more meaningful. Our partnership with Media Prima Berhad is another significant platform for us to reach out to more families and make consumer lives better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This effort is instrumental in driving the company\u2019s growth as Malaysia sees gradual recovery in consumer confidence level. The first quarter 2017 Consumer Sentiments Index (CSI) rebounded by 6.8 points to 76.6 points on a quarter-on-quarter basis after recording declines in preceding quarters.

The series features integration of various Panasonic products to portray the brand as an integral part of Malaysians\u2019 lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In extension to the series, Panasonic also engages consumers through multiple touchpoints involving branded content across channels, Panasonic branded light rail transit (LRT) and engagements through numerous platforms under Media Prima Berhad like The New Straits Times Press, Big Tree, radio stations and tonton.<\/p>\n<p>In further harnessing the star appeal of the cast members, Panasonic appointed Rita Rudaini and Khatijah Tan as the official ambassadors of its \u2018Sehati Beraya\u2019 promotion that runs from 16 May \u2013\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>30 June 2017.
