But rose 4.2% QoQ to S$886m.

According to OCBC, SingTel reported its 2QFY13 results this morning, with revenue easing 0.8% YoY (but +0.9% QoQ) to S$4572.0m, underpinned by strong operating performance from Singapore and its regional mobile associates despite the impact of weaker regional currencies.

Here's more from OCBC:

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.
