Meeting with Airin Zainul (Group GM of 8tv & NTV7) and Kit Yow (Brand Manager).

Following up with our first meeting with Mr Ahmad Izham Omar, COO of 8TV, we have been in touch with the group regularly. Today, we met up with Airin Zainul and Kit Yow regarding sponsorship matters.

As usual, me and Jon left prepared for their Studio Headquarters next to 1Utama Shopping Complex. Fellow writer Lionel couldn't make it at the last minute unfortunately.

Meeting in the 'War Room', we set up the projectors and waited for them to arrive. 

Coming to the room, we greeted each other, and set out to explain about our initiative with the One Young World Impact Report through our power-point slides. Quite a number of challenging questions came our way but we answered them all. 

As TV show producers, what they want most is airtime, they explained. Publicity is not a problem, they will find slots for us for they like the content. Both of them really wanted to help us by giving us the platform to talk about the report as well as sponsorship matters ( i.e. online, Tonton.com.my). Furthermore, they strongly suggested us making an appearance on the 8TV Quickie & The Breakfast Show (ntv7). 

Even though the sponsorship matter has still not been resolved, we were happy with having solved the publicity question. They'll also Tweet for us, and have been asking if we have Tweeted much. So far we've Tweeted these blog posts only to #OneYoungWorld, with no replies as of yet.

Mushamir, Airin, Kit, and Jonathan.

Overall, they want to help us through the media, to show that Malaysia can be proud over what youths, Malaysian youths can, and has, done.
