MyTOWN ‘United by Culture’ Merdeka Campaign 2024

The MyTOWN ‘United by Culture’ campaign was designed to showcase Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage through a vibrant celebration of diversity. Collaborating with 27 key opinion leaders (KOLs) from various racial backgrounds, we aimed to spotlight the significance of Independence Day by highlighting the beauty of Malaysia’s multiculturalism. The outcome was not just a celebration of Merdeka but a beautiful display of unity through cultural expression. From the Instagram stories featuring KOLs in their traditional attire to the heightened buzz surrounding the event, the ‘United by Culture’ campaign successfully captured the spirit of Independence Day and brought it to life for a broad audience.
