In a time of constant change across the world, driven especially by advancements in technology, Maxis today unveiled its new brand purpose: To bring together the best of technologies to help people, businesses and the nation to Always Be Ahead in a changing world. The new brand purpose was launched in conjunction with Maxis’ 25th anniversary and the upcoming Merdeka celebrations, to signify the intertwining of Maxis’ and Malaysia’s past, present and future journey together in this rapidly evolving digital age.
As part of the campaign, Maxis will be rolling out a series of digitalisation programmes for individuals and businesses throughout the year, while customers can look forward to special offers in conjunction with the anniversary celebrations.
“The ‘Always be Ahead’ spirit is about embracing change, growth, discovery and finding new ways through technology. With our new brand purpose comes a new corporate identity and values that Maxis as a company and its people embody, steering us towards our vision to be the leading converged solutions company in the nation. We are making a commitment to all Malaysians, from individuals and families, to businesses and entire communities, that Maxis will be their digital enabler and coach to help them leverage the best technologies on the No.1 network so that they can always be ahead. And with the upcoming Merdeka Day, it was also timely that we celebrate a nation that is always ahead,” said Gokhan Ogut, Chief Executive Officer, Maxis.
To bring the campaign to life, Maxis has captured inspiring stories of individuals and social enterprises who have not only demonstrated the possibilities of what technology and the Internet can do for our lives, but importantly how they enriched communities around them. A short brand film to depict this was premiered exclusively to the media today. At the same time, to celebrate the telco’s 25 years of pioneering new technologies in Malaysia, Maxis also unveiled a video featuring milestones that sparked much nostalgia.
