Newnormz’s Big Leap: Two Marketing Awards That Prove the Power of Digital Growth

In 2018, Newnormz started as a small digital marketing team in Malaysia, focused on helping brands rank and grow. Fast forward to 2025, the team has made a name for itself by winning two major awards:

  • Search Agency of the Year – AOTY Awards
  • Most Effective Use of Social Media – The MARKies

“These wins aren’t just trophies on a shelf,” says Bryan Tan, Managing Director of Newnormz. “They represent everything we’ve built, the risks we’ve taken, and the belief we’ve had in our team since day one. It’s our first time joining a marketing awards competition and walking away with these recognitions shows that we’re no longer just a boutique agency. We’re ready to compete with the best, and more importantly, help local businesses grow in the digital space.”

Built Like a Startup, Grown with a Purpose

Newnormz’s early years mirror many of the journeys shared by MyBizHub businesses. They started lean, experimented, and focused heavily on SEO to help clients get discovered online. Over time, their services expanded to include social media, campaign strategy, and full-funnel digital solutions.

“We’ve worked with brands like Taiwan Excellence and T1 Habit,” shares Johnson Ling, Marketing Director. “But our heart remains in supporting brands with ambition. We know what it’s like to start from scratch and we use that understanding to build marketing that makes sense and gets results.”

Competing With Industry Giants and Winning

The marketing awards included well-known names like Ampersand Advisory and Kingdom Digital. Newnormz showed up with confidence, submitted work they truly believed in, and walked away with not just one but two wins.

It’s a reminder to small businesses everywhere: with the right strategy and focus, visibility and recognition are within reach.

New Space, Clearer Vision

To support their expanding team and direction, Newnormz has also moved into a new office at Menara MBMR, Mid Valley – a strategic location that positions them for regional collaboration and bigger campaigns.

“There are three reasons for the move,” Bryan says.

  1. Team growth — space to think, create, and execute.
  2. Strategic base — Mid Valley allows access to clients and talent.
  3. New identity — operating fully under Newnormz, with a sharpened purpose.

A Game Plan for the Next 5 Years

Newnormz isn’t stopping here. Their five-year plan includes:

  • Strengthening presence in Malaysia
  • Expanding into Singapore and Southeast Asia
  • Evolving into Newnormz Sdn Bhd
  • Leading with data-driven, tech-enabled marketing strategies

Bryan adds, “Marketing today should be simple, transparent, and results-focused. Business owners want clarity on what works. That’s what we provide.”
