What's in a name?

By Chris Reed

If a nation’s brand values can be summed up by how it names its shopping centres, what does this say about the UK versus Singapore? Chris Reed tells us.

Singapore has malls and shopping centres called Sunshine Plaza, Lucky Plaza, Peace Centre, Suntec, The Majestic, Marina Bay, Golden Mile, Great World City, Vivo City, United Square, People’s Park, Far East Plaza, Change Alley, International, ION, White Sands. These names conjure up vibrancy, positivity, sunshine, aspirations, happiness and prosperity, many of the brand values of the nation itself.

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.
