Overwhelming response for a stimulating WOWTalk™

Johor Bahru (ad-wow.com, 15 Jul 2006) - More than 300 filled the auditorium in Foon Yew High School to witness the first WOW!Talk™ held in a high school premise. Delivered by AdWOW! Group Managing Director, George Heng, the 3-hour talk was an enriching sharing about his active participation in curriculum activities all the way to his route to entrepreneurship.

Initiated by the school’s Journalist society to give the audience a preview of the exciting world of branding and advertising, the event attracted students, lecturers, fellow professionals from the local creative industry and even the vice principal of Foon Yew High School. Through out the talk, there was a lively exchange of questions and ideas between the students and the speakers.

"I hope my simple story will inspire the next generation to strive for their dreams with confidence and joy..." said George, during an interview. Although the talk ended past schedule, most of the audience (including students, parents, lecturers and the vice principal) were enthusiastically taking pictures, autographs and catching up with George and his fellow AdWOWers.

"The response was unexpectedly successful! Most of the attendees requested for more seminars such as this. We're deeply encouraged... we'll surely plan more events to share our ideas and stories very soon." Said Miss Tang, the event organizer of WOW!Talk™.

*95.6% requested for such activities to be held again during the post event survey

encouraging advice too: “Thank you George and the team for making
this an inspiring afternoon. I always believe you need to put in all your efforts to achieve something. In life, you must understand your position,set your aims and go for it, whole-heartedly!” .
