You won't believe how much Singaporeans' salary increased in 2012

It's a measly growth.

According to the Ministry of Manpower, income growth moderated in 2012, amid the weaker economic conditions. The median monthly income from work (including employer CPF contributions) of full-time employed residents rose by 7.1% over the year to $3,480 in 2012, down from the growth of 8.3% in 2011.

Accounting for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all items, real median income growth moderated to 2.2% in 2012 from 2.9% in 2011.

Adjusting for CPI excluding imputed rentals on owner-occupied accommodation (which do not involve actual expenditures), the growth in real median income (including employer CPF contributions) was 3.3% in 2012, compared with 3.9% in 2011.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
