Crying Tiger not flying Tiger: Air Asia Ad

In apparent reference to Tiger's recent spate of plane cancellations, rival Air Asia has begun running full page ads picturing a crying Tiger teddy bear with the caption "If tigers were meant to fly, they would be born with wings".

The ad also states that Air Asia is "guaranteed to fly everyday," which presumably is meant to differentiate it from the crying tiger, which is depicted below an Air Asia jet sitting down with its paws in the air and tears rolling down its face.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
