Challenges

The "One Size Fits None" Challenge in ASEAN Fintech

Silverlake is a giant in the backend, but they needed to increase their front-facing visibility. The goal was to develop a strong thought leadership profile for their leaders across the diverse ASEAN region, specifically in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore. They needed to move beyond technical product announcements to owning the strategic industry conversations around the future of finance.

Solutions

Hyper-Localized Thought Leadership for Diverse Markets

PRecious Communications deployed a hyper-localized thought leadership strategy. We recognized that “one size fits all” fails in ASEAN, where regulatory environments and digital maturity differ wildly.

  • Market-Specific Angles: We identified unique financial hot topics for each market. In Malaysia, the conversation was dominated by Digital Banking licenses. In Singapore, the focus was Insurtech.
  • Executive Mapping: We mapped specific Silverlake leaders to these topics to ensure relevance in each local market.
  • Sustained Engagement: We executed a sustained program that leveraged opinion pieces, podcasts, and targeted media tours. This approach focused on building deep relationships with local Tier 1 media, rather than relying on the “spray and pray” distribution of press releases.

Results

Measurable Results: Regional Authority and Executive Profiling

The campaign successfully positioned Silverlake executives as go-to industry commentators, not just vendors.

  • High-Impact Interviews: Organized more than 10 tier-one media interviews across Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore.
  • Strategic Bylines: Successfully placed 7 byline articles in key markets, establishing deep subject matter expertise.
  • Top-Tier Coverage: Secured high-profile features including an interview on Astro Awani regarding Digital Banks, a Tech Wire Asia CEO interview, and a Business Times feature on Insurtech.
Key Takeaway - Tailored Narratives: The Key to Regional Relevance

Regional thought leadership cannot be generic. To succeed in ASEAN, you must tailor your narrative to local market trends, talking about Digital Banking in Malaysia and Insurtech in Singapore, to secure Tier 1 coverage and relevance.
