Fishermen Integrated Malaysia and TIME dotCom pulls Kabel Besar to get you better connections

In their continuous efforts to offer Malaysians better, stronger and faster connections, internet service provider TIME dotCom together with their digital agency Fishermen Integrated Malaysia has released their “kabel besar” to solve all your internet woes.

 

“Kabel Besar” is a double entendre that promotes TIME’s 100% Fibre Cables, as well as Malaysia’s very familiar culture of having the right connections to solve all your problems. The plan, dubbed the VVIP connection your home deserves, promises consumers the ultimate WiFi experience in every corner of your home with the latest promotion of 1Gbps at just RM149.

The campaign, which features three renowned actors living their best lives, thanks to “Kabel Besar”, received overwhelmingly positive responses from netizens, applauding them for the wise and witty play on the phrase as well as the iconic and instantly recognisable actors who were casted for the ads.

“TIME’s Kabel Besar campaign is another fine example of Fishermen’s creativity at work – a combination of a relevant Malaysian cultural insight, strong product USPs and branded entertainment. Thus, making it work uniquely for TIME. We are proud to have TIME’s “Kabel Besar” campaign added into our ongoing list of creative excellence,” said Andrew Tan, Executive Creative Director of Fishermen.

Targeting their three main audiences, TIME and Fishermen made the right call, when they casted Dato’ Jalaluddin bin Hassan who is famously known as the host of the Malaysian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Datuk Paduka Mustapha Kamal who is known for his respectable rich and influential characters in Malaysian dramas and Joanne Kam, Malaysia’s Queen of Comedy who shone brightly in her role as a Crazy Rich Asian spoof.

These three iconic actors embodied their characters perfectly and truly gave live to the meaning of having “Kabel Besar” to get what you want, when you want it. “Kabel Besar ticked the magical trifecta of marrying a relatable cultural insight, a real product truth as well as relevant Malaysian characters. It is birthed from our ethos of standing out by entertaining first and selling later. As a challenger player with limited budget in a space dominated by some of Malaysia’s strongest brands, we have to earn the right to capture the public’s attention. “Kabel Besar” is our first step in carving out an ownable space in this crowded market where we believe creativity and storytelling will make a long-term difference. In essence, when the category zigs, we’ll zag,” said Andrew Yeoh, Head of Marketing from TIME dotCom.

“It’s an amazing feeling to have clients who dare to be bold and real. Combine that with an agency that is unafraid to push boundaries, you can rest assure that the collaboration will create magic! “Kabel Besar” is just the beginning, so look out for many more daring and extraordinary campaigns to come,” said Joyce Gan, Group Brand Director of Fishermen.

Up to date, TIME’s “Kabel Besar” has garnered over 2 million views across their social media platforms.
