APB v3.0 APB v3.0 offering cost-effective, compelling marketing services This is the third major change that APB has decided to undertake in three decades. We have decided to disrupt ourselves … to adapt and change without changing our fundamental mission of providing News You Can Use, a commitment we made 36 years ago to broadcasters and other allied professionals working in the multi-media industry in Asia. We are still in the process of re-inventing ourselves, to think without the box — and to think like a start-up! For a start, we will not be publishing APB@ConnecTechAsia Show News next year but instead we are offering you a suite of strategic go-to-market services at very competitive price points. In doing so, my editorial and marketing staff will have more time at ConnecTechAsia2019 to talk to you on the ‘climate change’ affecting the broadcast landscape and how your company can empower Asian broadcasters to adapt and change too. Year 2019 will be a critical time for many broadcasters in the Asia-Pacific region. They will be firming up their plans to go fully digital as the analogue switch-off deadlines mandated by their governments draw nearer — a case in point: Singapore switched to digital TV on 1 January 2019. As APB has been well regarded as the 2 leading source of industry news since 1983 — and through our thought-provoking CEO Roundtables, ConneXxion Forums and Seminars/Workshops, the publication has become an integral part of the industry in Asia-Pacific. This is why many C-suite professionals in the region have been relying on APB for reports on best practices in production workflows, system integration and best-of-breed equipment for many years. Together with our panellists and experts from the broadcast media, we have been organising by-invitation only dialogues and providing special reports on trends and innovative technologies that enhance work practices and business models. As we reinvent ourselves, we will continue to focus on our mission … and constantly look out for changes that will affect the business sectors that we are in. For us, this is mission-critical and this is the reason we attend many trade shows to bring you topical and timely reports of hot-button issues confronting the media industry. For ConnecTechAsia 2019 (CTA 2019), APB has developed new strategic marketing bundles for you to create and/or enhance top-of-the mind awareness of your latest products, innovations or software solutions among your target audience.
