CNY in the office in happier pre-COVID days!

TSL Media Group is a collective that's home to some of the most popular new media sites in Singapore. Our brands include TheSmartLocal, Eatbook, MS News, Zula and Telegramco. Each year, we recieve over 200 million website pageviews and an additional 200 million video views - through our social media following of over 2.5 million from Singapore. 

We're among a new generation of social-first publishers. We help clients reach Singaporeans who no longer follow traditional media, as well as savvy audiences who have become desensitised to ads. We believe that readers don't hate ads - they just hate bad ads. We value ideation and through our creative content process, we convey messages with branded content in a way that adds value  to our readers.

We were the first to provide branded content as an advertising solution at such a level in Singapore, such that it led us to win the inaugural Media Brand of the year at Mumbrella's Asia Awards, edging out billion dollar companies to take home the win for Singapore. Today, we are in 8 different markets and aim to be the #1 English media publisher in SEA. Watch our brand introduction video below!

Who we reach

A big differentiator of TSL Media Group is how we're a cross-platform advertising solution. We have significant traction on the biggest social media platforms that Singaporeans use - Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Telegram and TikTok. We are also multi-brand, and thus have segmented audiences with different interest groups such as food, female, lifestyle, etc - so clients can reach out to relevant audiences.

Lastly, reaching readers today is not pumping thousands of dollars into a campaign and driving it through paid media, which can be extremely expensive. Readers need brand trust before consuming media and being receptive to messages. Our campaigns have reached millions of people organically, which otherwise would have cost hundreds of thousands in paid ad spend. Ask any Mandalorian and he'll tell you this is the way.

Our account director Nirelle Goh explains the importance of strong content and brand value vs paid ad spend in this video here:
