<h2>Following the huge reaction to its launch last year, the Digital Advertising Fund OHSEM is back with a more impressive 2024 version</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>A collaboration between Dattel Asia Group (Dattel), REV Media Group (REV), and Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), the 2024 edition of <b>the fund is worth RM42 million and is expected to benefit more than 2,000 SMEs.</b></p>
<p>For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), advertising is usually carried out on social media instead of on premium content platforms like SAYS, the New Straits Times, Berita Harian, OHBULAN!, and Siraplimau. This is largely due to cost, as it is often cheaper to advertise on social media.</p>
<p>Digital Advertising Fund OHSEM aims to help SMEs have more advertising options, by providing them with the funds they need to make sure their brand reaches their desired target audience, which could lead to boosting their sales.</p>

<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p><p><b><u>1. Impact to SMEs</u></b><br />&#8211; Get access to advertising on premium content sites under REV Media Group at SME-friendly prices<br />&#8211; SMEs have the option to run ads on platforms other than social media</p>
<p><b><u>2. Impact to local content platforms</u></b><br />&#8211; With SMEs advertising on local content platforms, this can ensure a more sustainable and healthier local content landscape</p>
<p><b><u>3. Impact to the country&#8217;s economy</u></b><br />&#8211; With Malaysians spending on platforms like Facebook, money is indirectly going out of the country. This fund can be seen as a way of boosting the country&#8217;s economy and generating economic locally.</p>
