TCL Mobile: A comeback worth talking about.

The opportunity

Reintroduce TCL smartphones to Malaysia’s competitive market, with the NXTPAPER display experience at the centre of the story.

Our approach

We proposed a launch event and engaged technology and lifestyle media for product reviews ahead of launch. The approach gave publishers time with the devices, then carried the conversation from the launch into longer-form reviews.

The outcome

28 pieces of launch coverage within one week. 18 media reviews across websites and social channels in three months. RM800,000 in reported PR value.

What this means for your brand

A product launch becomes more useful when the announcement is supported by hands-on experience and sustained editorial coverage.
