This year would be all about “Youth” and we have many exciting events and initiatives for you rocking youth out there! Stay tuned.”
“When we first started in 2009, there were a lot of scepticism and many had bet that we wouldn’t last beyond two years and not possible for us to excel in this industry but with the hard work of our team at Tune Talk, we are where we are today standing proud to serve our subscribers with great services and products. We are coming out with better offerings this year and will continuously give our best to ensure that our subscribers have a seamless experience with us!” added Jason Lo.
Commenting on the special aircraft livery, he said: “This is a very effective brand positioning strategy in collaboration with the world’s best low cost airline AirAsia.
