The LOI is intended to be non-binding and is subject to, amongst others, the parties entering into a definitive sale and purchase agreement, the firm noted.

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.
