The award was presented by KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific (KSI) in honour of her achievements and contributions to SMG’s business transformation.
“It is truly humbling to be recognised among so many other well-deserving women.

“With our SMG Brand Studio, we can offer effective end-to-end, 360° marketing solutions,” she said.
Beyond products and services innovation, she said SMG’s emphasis on strategic public-private collaborations has paved the way for accelerated economic advancement for local enterprises.
It includes several ongoing projects, which are joint efforts with various key ministries to support the upward local enterprises’ trajectory such as the Export Excellence Awards and Star Outstanding Business Awards, just to name a few.
“We look forward to forging stronger relations with ministries, key stakeholders and consumers alike, and do our part in being better,” said Wang.
