The Challenge

Milieu Insight competes against legacy global market research conglomerates. It needed to differentiate its proprietary survey platform, Canvas, and lift its enterprise positioning as it expanded into the US and UK.

The campaign had three objectives. Announce the appointment of Sundip Chahal, former Global COO of YouGov, as chief executive to lead international growth, while co-founder Gerald Ang moved to lead product innovation. Drive trade awareness of Canvas's upgraded capabilities. Prove the speed of the company's survey infrastructure through data-led commentary on live issues.

What we did

Leadership profiling. Chahal's appointment was placed in Marketing Interactive, Campaign Asia and MarkeTech APAC, with a fuller corporate profile in The Peak Singapore.

SaaS product announcements. Canvas's new enterprise features, including automated visual survey tools, live panel integrations and direct data access across 150 countries, were covered in Tech EDT, SME Asia, Adobo Magazine and MartechVibe.

Data-driven PR. Milieu released survey findings tied to topical debates: a youth media literacy survey showing 4 in 5 Singaporean students want media literacy classes ran on Channel NewsAsia, regional FemTech analysis appeared in Startups Magazine and Tech EDT, and commentary on the viral toy craze was picked up by Business Insider.

The Results
  • 191+ media mentions across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.
  • Tier-1 broadcast and radio across Channel NewsAsia, TV Channel 5 and Money FM 89.3.
  • Positioned Milieu Insight as an agile alternative to legacy market research firms ahead of its expansion into the US and UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does PR work for market research and consumer insights companies in Singapore?
PR for a market research and consumer insights company in Singapore works by turning the firm's own data and leadership into news. For Milieu Insight, Grow Public Relations ran three tracks at once: profiling the leadership team, announcing platform updates to trade media, and releasing survey findings as commentary on topical issues. The data track matters most. A market research firm that can publish fresh numbers on a live debate becomes a source journalists return to, which is how Milieu earned coverage across Southeast Asia and Tier-1 global titles.
What media results can a market research platform expect from a PR campaign in Singapore?
A sustained campaign can produce broad regional reach. Milieu Insight secured more than 191 pieces of media coverage across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines, with Tier-1 broadcast on Channel NewsAsia, TV Channel 5 and Money FM 89.3. Results of that scale come from feeding media a steady supply of proprietary survey data rather than one-off announcements. The volume positioned Milieu as an agile alternative to legacy market research firms ahead of its expansion into the US and UK.
How does a market research firm use its own survey data to earn media coverage?
A market research firm earns coverage by publishing timely survey findings that speak to issues already in the news. Milieu Insight used its Canvas platform to release data on live topics: a youth media literacy survey showing 4 in 5 Singaporean students want media literacy classes ran on Channel NewsAsia, FemTech market analysis appeared in Startups Magazine and Tech EDT, and commentary on the viral toy craze was picked up by Business Insider. The speed of the platform let Milieu respond while each story was still current.
How do you announce a new CEO appointment to the media in Singapore?
You announce a new CEO by framing the appointment around what it signals for the business, not just the job title. When Milieu Insight appointed Sundip Chahal, former Global COO of YouGov, Grow Public Relations positioned the move as the start of international expansion into the US and UK, while co-founder Gerald Ang shifted to lead product innovation. The story ran in Marketing Interactive, Campaign Asia and MarkeTech APAC, with a fuller corporate profile in The Peak Singapore. A clear strategic reason gives editors a story worth running.
Which PR agency in Singapore works with market research and consumer insights companies?
Grow Public Relations works with market research and consumer insights companies in Singapore. For Milieu Insight, a consumer intelligence platform operating across Southeast Asia, the agency secured more than 191 pieces of coverage spanning leadership profiling, SaaS product announcements for the Canvas platform, and data-led PR. The work ran across regional trade media, Tier-1 broadcast and global outlets including Business Insider, and supported the company's positioning ahead of entry into the US and UK markets.
How does PR build a brand's authority across Southeast Asia and not just one market?
PR builds regional authority by giving media in each market a reason to cover the brand locally, usually through data or leadership that travels. Milieu Insight's survey findings and executive announcements earned coverage across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines, because the research spoke to audiences in every market. Pairing region-wide data releases with Tier-1 global titles let the brand register as a Southeast Asian authority and an international player at the same time, rather than a single-market firm.
