What brands will Singaporeans be proud to work for?

Singaporeans seem to like flying, based on this study's findings.

Three in five Singaporeans (62.5) said that they will be proud to work for Singapore Airlines, according to a study by market research firm YouGov. This makes the national carrier the top brand Singaporeans would be proud to be affiliated with.

“For the second year running, Singapore Airlines comes out on top as the brand Singaporeans would be proudest to work for,” Ervin Ha, head of data products at YouGov APAC, said.

Second best is Changi Airport which garnered a score of 45 for the reputation scores in the YouGov Brand Index.

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.
