Challenge
MDEC launched eRezeki and eUsahawan programmes to help the B40s, nation’s low income earners earn more from digital economy. However, they were not gaining participants for the programmes.
Solution
It is known that B40s respond best with humour and entertaining content. With that, to extend awareness to the mass media, Astro provided the solution of partnering with the popular Maharaja Lawak Mega to spread the campaign message via branded content. A comedy web series was then produced and ran on YouTube.
