Media Savvy Awards 2022 has launched a new award category to put the spotlight on Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs). The NEW Trailblazer Elevator Pitch Award seeks to encourage entrepreneurs and start-up founders to step in front of the camera and tell their audience why their business matters.
The Media Savvy Awards is convened by Hong Bao Media, a leading provider of media and communications services. The company was founded by ex-CNBC anchor Mark Laudi, who launched the awards in 2018 in Singapore and Malaysia to recognise business leaders for their media skills, and to showcase skilled and credible home-grown communicators.
2022 marks the fifth year of Media Savvy Awards, where 2021 winners who had clinched the awards include Lyn Lee, Founder of Awfully Chocolate (Best Online Interview, Singapore), Chang Wen Lai, CEO of Ninja Van (Best Broadcast Interview, Singapore), and Tony Fernandes, CEO, AirAsia Group (Best Webcast Presentation, Malaysia).
“We want business owners and start-up founders to harness their media skills and record a compelling pitch. Taking the first step to explain to your stakeholders about your vision is crucial as transparency is key to building trust in business. By effectively sharing why you and your business matters and what your competitive advantage is, you are demonstrating your leadership skills which will help you capture the attention of potential investors, clients or customers. We started Media Savvy Awards to recognise the efforts of homegrown business leaders who have made an impact in interviews and other new media platforms. This new award continues to encourage more individuals to step up in front of the camera to represent their company,” said Mark Laudi, CEO and convener of Media Savvy Awards.
To help anyone get started on capturing the essence of their business value proposition, Media Savvy Award has an elevator pitch script auto-generator that allows entrepreneurs or start-up founders to create their own 1-minute business video easily. To participate in Media Savvy Awards, anyone can publish their business introduction video online. Tag #TrailblazerPitch, #BeMediaSavvy, #SGBeMediaSavvy / #MYBeMediaSavvy.
