Today’s players are not good at one thing. They are good at a lot of things. With that in mind, global sports brand PUMA launches the PUMA ONE football boots that delivers the needs of all football players in one perfect boots.To begin with, PUMA consulted UEFA Euro 2016’s Best Player and Golden Boot winner, Antoine Griezmann, youth academy players and football obsessed teens to understand their definitions of a perfect boot.

From there, it was abundantly clear that most footballers including Griezmann himself wanted a boot that had a great FIT, helped to move FAST and gave more FEEL on the ball.To complete the process, PUMA brought former Arsenal FC superstar Thierry Henry on board to play a major role in ensuring the all-new boots catered to every type of player.

With such strong research and insights, PUMA has delivered a football boot that excels in FIT, FAST and FEEL. FIT comes from the engineered evoKNIT sock, FAST is provided by the ultra-lightweight Pebax outsole, whilst FEEL is enhanced by the super soft leather that adorns the upper.

In conjunction with the launch of PUMA ONE in Malaysia, PUMA launched ‘The Perfect ONE Challenge’ that will be going on a month-long tour across 4 different locations in Kuala Lumpur (TFC Store LOT 10, 7-9 July), Johor Bahru (Komtar JBCC, 14-17 July), Penang (Queensbay Mall, 21-23 July) and Klang Valley (Sunway Pyramid, 28-30 July).

The launch event was organized in Lot 10 Shopping Complex, Kuala Lumpur and was attended by a number of PUMA Friends including footballers Ahmad Beto (Perak FA), Syahmi Safawi (Selangor FA) and Danish Hazriq (Negeri Sembilan).

Some local football crazy celebrities such as singer Hanifah ‘Black’, actor Ahmad Ezzrin Loy, TV host/actor Ryan Yong as well as Ola Bola fame Luqman Hafidz (Ali) and Lim Jian Wen (Ah Chai) were also present to join in the excitement and take on the Perfect ONE challenge during the launch event.

The challenge, which is open for the public, is a series of customized tasks that will test participant’s skills across the FIT/FAST/FEEL elements.

Speaking at the launch event in Lot 10 Shopping Complex, Kuala Lumpur, PUMA SEA’s Marketing Manager, Tim Tham mentioned that the challenge was designed specifically to highlight the special features of the PUMA ONE boots.

“We wanted to give the public a first-hand opportunity to try out the boots and experience its uniqueness,”

“The Perfect ONE Challenge will be a great opportunity for them to get a taste of the FIT, FAST and FEEL elements of the boots by taking on the three customized tasks and trying to complete it with the best time,” said Tim.

Bersempena dengan penganjuran temasya sukan berprestij di Asia Tenggara iaitu Sukan SEA 2017 yang akan berlangsung di Malaysia pada bulan Ogos ini, semangat kejohanan sukan ini akan turut disemarakkan dan diraikan di Astro Warna (saluran 132) dan Warna HD (saluran 124) menerusi program terbaharu, ‘Temasya Sukan Ke Laut’. Program yang menggabungkan elemen sukan, komedi dan hiburan ini bakal menggeletek hati penonton selama lapan minggu pada setiap Jumaat mulai 14 Julai 2017, jam 10.00 malam. Ia juga akan turut disiarkan di platform Astro GO dan on demand untuk tontonan semua.

Buat julung kalinya, ‘Temasya Sukan Ke Laut’ bakal menyaksikan atlet-atlet terkemuka negara berkumpul menjayakan sebuah program komedi dan bersaing dengan barisan pelawak serta selebriti popular tanah air menerusi pelbagai jenis acara sukan utama. Sebagai simbolik kepada Sukan SEA 2017, acara-acara sukan yang akan dipertandingkan dalam program ini kelak merupakan di antara acara sukan yang tersenarai di temasya sukan tersebut seperti badminton, bola sepak, acara renang, berbasikal, balapan, hoki dan banyak lagi. Menarik lagi, corak atau kaedah permainan bagi setiap acara sukan telah diolah secara kreatif dan melucukan bagi menyuntik elemen hiburan agar ianya sesuai untuk tontonan seisi keluarga.

Dalam pada itu, peraturan asal sesebuah acara sukan itu masih tetap dikekalkan di segenap aspek bagi memastikan program ini berada di kelasnya yang tersendiri dan tidak disamakan dengan sesebuah program sukaneka. Astro Warna turut bekerjasama dengan Astro Arena, saluran sukan tempatan yang bersiaran selama 24 jam sehari, 7 hari seminggu untuk menjayakan program ini. Seperti ramai sedia maklum, pelbagai kejayaan dan sejarah yang telah ditempa oleh Astro Arena dengan membawakan liputan menyeluruh dalam kejohanan-kejohanan tempatan, serantau dan antarabangsa dan terbaru, temasya sukan terbesar dunia, Sukan Olimpik Rio 2016 yang turut disiarkan di dalam saluran definisi tinggi (HD).

Bagi menghidupkan suasana seperti perjalanan temasya sukan sebenar, program ini turut menampilkan dua orang figura hebat di bidang masing-masing yang bakal menggalas tugas sebagai pengacara dan pengulas sukan, dan mereka ialah bekas jaguh bina badan negara, Datuk Malek Nor yang akan bergandingan bersama pelawak popular, Abam Bocey.

Selain dari para atlet, kami turut mengalu-alukan kedatangan Legenda Rock Negara, Amy Search sebagai sebahagian dari ahli keluarga ‘Temasya Sukan Ke Laut’ dan beliau bakal digandingkan dengan pelawak hebat seperti Joey, Achey, Shuib, Dzawin, Sharifah Shahirah, Kumpulan Zero, Jiggy dan ramai lagi.

Bersesuaian dengan imej Astro Warna selaku saluran komedi, ke-semua jenis sukan yang dimainkan dalam program ini telah diolah secara kreatif namun begitu pada masa yang sama, kami turut menjadikan peraturan asal sesebuah acara itu sebagai panduan. Sebagai contoh, ‘Acara Badminton 7 kali 7’ yang mana kami menampilkan 7 pemain untuk setiap kumpulan dan mereka diperlukan berdiri dalam setiap gelung bulatan individual dan perlu berdiri di dalam bulatan sepanjang berlangsungnya pertandingan. Namun begitu, mata penamat masih 21 – 21 dan memiliki seorang pengadil. Contoh lain adalah ‘Lompat Berpagar Binocular’, bermain bola sepak sambil menggunakan set alat realiti maya (virtual reality box – VR box), acara renang di kolam bersaiz Olimpik, acara keirin menggunakan basikal beroda tiga, acara larian 400 meter dengan berlari ke arah belakang (reverse running) dan sebagainya. Saya yakin, anda semua pasti akan terhibur.”

Selain dari nama-nama yang dinyatakan di atas, setiap episod akan turut menampilkan pemain jemputan yang terdiri dari barisan pelawak dan atlet seperti Mat Redho @ Mohd Redha Rozlan (Pemenang Fear Factor 2014 dan ‘Ninja Warrior’), Zulfahmi Khairuddin (Naib Juara ‘FIM Superbike World Championship 2016’ – WSBK), Khairulnizam Afendy (pelayar terbaik Asia), Amer Raja Lawak dan ramai lagi. Peserta akan dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan iaitu kumpulan ‘Cendawan Gagah’ yang akan mewakili barisan atlet dan kumpulan ‘Kembang Semangkuk’ yang bakal disertai oleh para atlet, pelawak dan selebriti.

Jangan lepaskan peluang menonton aksi lucu para atlet dan pelawak dalam ‘Temasya Sukan Ke Laut’ yang akan bersiaran pada setiap hari Jumaat mulai 14 Julai 2017 pada jam 10.00 malam di saluran Astro Warna (132) dan saluran serentak di Warna HD (saluran 124). Program ini juga boleh dinikmati melalui platform Astro GO dan on demand. Selamat menonton!

When Spider-Man: Homecoming swings into theaters July 7, Dell will be at Sony Pictures’ side for all the action.

Dell teamed up with Sony Pictures, a long time Dell customer and partner, to take collaborations to the next level with Spider-Man: Homecoming. Collaborating both behind and in front of the camera, Spider-Man: Homecoming will kick off a 360-degree integrated global marketing campaign featuring the highly anticipated film and PC gaming industry’s newest entrant, Dell’s new Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming laptop.

The alliance will integrate Dell products into the film’s storyline along with a full-scale marketing and promotional campaign featuring Dell and Sony Pictures Spider-Man: Homecoming properties. The campaign features a TV spot, cinema, print, digital advertising, out-of-home placements, and consumer engagement activations throughout the summer.

The campaign will engage fans of Spider-Man and the Marvel Cinematic Universe; as well as movie fans at large who like to game for fun and socialise, and more competitive gamers looking for the latest in technology and the best visual gaming experiences.

The television ad campaign highlighting new Spider-Man content created with Jon Watts, the director of Spider-Man: Homecoming, features Peter Parker daydreaming in class about an epic battle between Spider-Man and the Vulture. The advertising spot was aired on TV networks in the US on June 26 and later this summer in China, UK, Brazil, Japan, Australia and Mexico across cinema, online and TV.

“The broad popularity of the Spider-Man franchise and its relevance with gamers presented a real opportunity to launch Dell’s Inspiron Gaming line as part of the campaign and bring Dell’s expertise in high-performance gaming to more people,” said Gerri Tunnell, senior vice president, Consumer and Small Business Marketing at Dell. “Spider-Man fans care about authenticity to the brand, character and storytelling, so partnering with Jon Watts on the TV spot allowed Dell to uphold a seamless look and tone, stay true to the film and deliver to the Marvel community.”

“Michael Dell founded Dell in his college dorm room – he’s exactly the kind of person that Peter Parker would look up to,” said Stephanie Cohen, senior vice president, Sony Pictures National Marketing Partnerships. “Our Peter is a STEM student, working on the cutting edge, with the inherent creativity and entrepreneurial spirit that drives Dell. That’s why we feel this collaboration is a natural fit and we’re thrilled to be teaming up with Dell.”

Dell Tech Powers Spider-Man: Homecoming Visual Effects

Sony Pictures’ Academy Award®-winning visual effects studio, Sony Pictures Imageworks, leveraged Dell Precision technology to create world class visual effects for Spider-Man: Homecoming, using approximately 1000 Dell Precision workstations, more than 4,000 Dell servers, and over a petabyte of Dell/EMC storage.

“The computing power of Dell Precision workstations, coupled with thousands of PowerEdge servers, enables rapid creative iterations and allows us to put the best picture on screen,” said Erik Strauss, executive director, Software Development at Sony Pictures Imageworks.

“We are proud that Sony Pictures Imageworks looks to us, and solutions such as the Precision rack 7910 workstations, to deliver the reliable performance for incredible visual effects that make films like Spider-Man: Homecoming possible,” said Rahul Tikoo, vice president and general manager, Dell Precision workstations. “Our collaboration with Imageworks goes beyond this film; we’re making sure to not only equip them with what they need today but to deliver the transformative solutions they might need for the future of immersive storytelling.”

Dell Technology Helps Create Virtual World of New Spider-Man: Homecoming VR    

Dell also collaborated with Sony Pictures Virtual Reality on Spider-Man: Homecoming VR, a new multi-platform promotional VR experience based on the upcoming film, which was created on industry-leading Dell Precision workstations. Produced by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality and developed by CreateVR, Spider-Man: Homecoming VR offers players the chance to suit up as Spider-Man, hone their web-shooting skills and sling high above New York City in pursuit of the Vulture. The VR experience will be available for free across all major VR platforms starting June 30, leading up to the July 7 theatrical release of Spider-Man: Homecoming. Fans can get a sneak preview of the VR experience at select Cinemark theaters in the U.S., where Dell’s PC line of VR-ready products for consumers – a top choice for VR fanatics and VR newbies alike – will be used in demonstrations.

Dell Products Take the Spotlight in Front of the Camera in Spider-Man: Homecoming

The Dell team worked closely with the Spider-Man: Homecoming filmmakers to integrate both Dell’s Inspiron 15 Gaming laptop (the lead product from Dell’s new gaming line) and Dell’s popular XPS 13 2-in-1 into the storyline of the film. The Inspiron 15 Gaming laptop will appear in a pivotal scene as Peter Parker’s best friend, Ned, an avid gamer, connects his laptop to a Spider-Man suit chock-full of new technology, courtesy of Tony Stark. Stark’s friend and confidant, Happy Hogan, also uses the award-winning Dell XPS 13 2-in-1. 

Dell Spider-Man Scramble – Interactive Billboards in Times Square

Timed with opening weekend of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Dell and Sony Pictures will also invite fans to step into Spidey’s shoes. Passersby will be able to race to the top of a New York City skyscraper using their mobile phones in Times Square by participating in an immersive, interactive Spider-Man Scramble experience on some of the largest digital billboards in New York City. The video game will be live on Clear Channel Outdoor’s digital billboard on Broadway between 46th and 47th Street from June 30 – July 1 and July 7 – 8 from 2 – 10 p.m. EDT in Times Square allowing fans the opportunity to swing by Duffy Square and show off their Spidey skills.

Against a backdrop of the real-life buildings in Times Square, players will control Spider-Man via their mobile phones as he races up two massive digital screens in front of the Times Square audience. The Spider-Man Scramble game was created on and will be projected on the Times Square billboards by Dell Precision mobile workstations.

Spider-Man: Homecoming World Premiere

Finally, Dell was a sponsor of the Spider-Man: Homecoming World Premiere June 28 in Los Angeles – helping to present a red carpet premiere that was powered by Dell. Dell brought a mobile experience directly to the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs to enjoy VR, gaming and other Dell tech demos along with behind the scenes Spider-Man: Homecoming content.
