We set the runway for Malaysian brands to rise above in achieving its presence and connectivity across all continents in the world. Branding Association of Malaysia reaches out to local SME companies in bringing out their potential as a valuable brand.

The importance of a platform to share across ideas, strategies and branding tactics is a necessity for Malaysian brands to excel. Branding Association of Malaysia identifies this need and prepares Malaysian brands.

Since our inception in July 2000, we advocate unity among our members to allow us to position ourselves on issues and policies that may hinder the brand as a whole. Apart from achieving branding goals, our members will enjoy the benefits of being a part of unified voice that encourage effectiveness and change.

Branding Association of Malaysia is also the best vehicle to promote trust, cooperation among small and medium brands. This enables them to share across their branding strategies and gather more inputs in building towards a successful brand as a whole.

Last but not least, the Branding Association of Malaysia is an association that must be realized as a unified foundation with strong branding expertise in formulating and opening the gateway to the world for Malaysian brands.
