PERODUA WINS THE AUTOMOTIVE CATEGORY GOLD AWARD AT THE 2017 PUTRA BRAND AWARDS

Perodua wins Gold at the 2017 Putra Brand Awards. After receiving Bronze and Silver Awards over the past few years, Perodua finally makes it to the top in the Putra Brand Awards Automotive Category. It shows that Malaysians have now placed the brand highly as the Putra Brand Awards is one where Malaysians are the ones voting for the brand of choice. 


Perodua is quite a star in terms of branding here in Malaysia. They have actually won a Putra Brand Award seven out of the eight times they had participated. A total of 6,000 respondents were interviewed this time around to determine Malaysia’s best brands according to ranking.

The Putra Brand Awards is an initiative by the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Malaysia (4As) to recognise local and international brands that are near and dear to the hearts of Malaysians. Measuring brands across 24 sector categories through a robust consumer research methodology; the award is endorsed by MATRADE and supported by the Branding Association of Malaysia (BAM); The Malaysian Advertisers Association (MAA) and the Media Specialists Association (MSA).

This year actually marks a good year for Malaysian carmakers. Proton had come in second which basically tells us that the public is very receptive of good products made locally. Honestly, there is nothing wrong buying Malaysian. It's actually the very right thing to do especially since the products are quite good actually.
