    WORK in AUSTRIA goes to Geeks On A Beach in the PH

    WORK in AUSTRIA, a department of the Austrian Business Agency (ABA), will participate in the Geeks On A Beach (GOAB) conference in Cebu, Philippines. The conference will provide detailed information about the career landscape in Austria and showcase the comprehensive range of free services available to skilled workers on their path to employment in Austria.

    “Austria offers international skilled workers new perspectives and exciting career opportunities in the heart of Europe. Thanks to its stable economy, high standard of living, and attractive working conditions, Austria is one of the most sought-after labor markets in Europe,” said Raphael Rey Bacolod, Director Indonesia and Philippines, WORK in AUSTRIA.

    Geeks On A Beach is the Philippines’ premier international tech startup conference. It gathers hundreds of entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, and notable figures from the country’s startup ecosystem. This year’s GOAB will occur at JPark Island Resort Hotel in Mactan, Cebu. It is organized by geeksPH in collaboration with the Philippines Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT).

    Austrian-Philippine Ties

    Austria and the Philippines share a long history of collaboration, with more than 30,000 Filipinos already calling Austria home. The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2023 between the two nations further solidified this close relationship. The agreement seeks to enhance cooperation in recruiting and supporting vital and skilled workers from the Philippines. The Philippines is the first country to enter such an agreement with Austria.

    “Beyond its breathtaking landscapes and cultural heritage, Austria offers numerous incentives for skilled workers. With a robust economy, Austria provides a healthy work-life balance, comprehensive social security, and high-quality healthcare, all within a relatively affordable cost of living,” said Bacolod.

    “For Filipino professionals, especially in IT, engineering, healthcare, and nursing sectors, Austria presents a wealth of job opportunities. As Austrian companies strive to combat the country’s growing shortage of skilled workers, they are increasingly looking to the global market to fill key positions,” added the Director Indonesia and Philippines at WORK in AUSTRIA.

    In May 2024, Austria and the Philippines celebrated Philippine-Austrian Friendship Week with events organized by the Philippine Embassy in Austria, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy (BMAW), the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKÖ), and the ABA. These events aimed to strengthen cultural and economic ties between the two countries, focusing on skilled labor.

    Support on the way to Austria  

    WORK in AUSTRIA, part of the Austrian Business Agency (ABA), offers free services designed to help skilled workers transition smoothly into their new roles in Austria. Additionally, the Philippines recently opened a Migrant Workers Office (MWO) in Vienna to provide on-the-ground support for Filipinos already working in Austria or planning to relocate.

    WORK in AUSTRIA’s support services include free counseling on living and working in Austria, job search assistance through platforms like the new ‘Talent Hub,’ help with immigration procedures for individuals and their families, and information programs to prepare for the move to Austria.

    These efforts are designed to make the transition to living and working in Austria as seamless as possible for international professionals. For more information on living and working in Austria, visit www.workinaustria.com.

    About the Austrian Business Agency (ABA) 

    The Austrian Business Agency (ABA) is a subsidiary of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy (BMAW). It promotes Austria as an attractive destination for international companies, skilled workers, and film producers. Through its three business divisions—INVEST in AUSTRIA, WORK in AUSTRIA, and FILM in AUSTRIA—the ABA provides free advisory services on establishing businesses, accessing the labor market, and producing films in Austria.

    Mitsubishi Motors PH and SJ Legacy Motors expand presence in San Jose Del Monte

    Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) and its dealer partner SJ Legacy Motors Inc. continue to expand the brand’s presence in Region III. They simultaneously broke ground for a new 3S dealership in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, and celebrated the grand opening of a 1S outlet at SM City San Jose Del Monte. These milestones signify both companies’ continuous efforts to bring exceptional products and services closer to their valued customers in Northern Metro Manila and Bulacan.

    San Jose Del Monte 3S Dealership Groundbreaking

    The groundbreaking ceremony for SJ Legacy Motors’ second 3S dealership, located along Quirino Highway, Barangay Kaypian, San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, marks a significant expansion in this fast-growing region. San Jose Del Monte, a peripheral city of Northern Metro Manila, serves as a strategic gateway to the province of Bulacan.

    This Mitsubishi Motors 3S dealership, with over 5,000 sqm of floor area when finished, will feature a modern 4-unit showroom display and 7 service bays, providing customers with a comprehensive vehicle sales, spare parts and service experience. Set to be completed by January 2026, this three-floor building with a mezzanine will bring world-class Mitsubishi products and services to the rapidly expanding population of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan and its neighboring communities.

    The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by SJ Legacy Motors executives led by their Chairman, CEO & Founder, Amando “Amang” S. San Juan and MMPC team headed by their President & CEO, Ritsu Imaeda. 

    SJ Legacy Motors joined the MMPC dealer network in September 2021 after establishing its first 3S dealership in Cordon, Isabela. Despite being relatively new, SJ Legacy Motors has shown good performance and strong commitment to serving more customers with the quality and excellence that Mitsubishi Motors is known for.

    Along with the groundbreaking of 3S dealership, MMPC and SJ Legacy Motors also celebrated the grand opening of the new 1S Outlet at SM City San Jose Del Monte. Conveniently located on the lower ground floor of this shopping destination, the 1S outlet serves as an extension of the 3S dealership. This outlet aims to provide customers with easy access to Mitsubishi vehicles while enjoying the convenience of a shopping mall environment.

    Equipped with Mitsubishi’s latest Visual Identity, the 1S showroom features a sleek, modern design and can showcase a 1-unit display. Strategically located near the parking entrances and exits of the mall, this outlet offers a convenient and inviting space for customers.

    The grand opening ceremony was graced by the presence of SJ Legacy Motors Founder, Chairman & CEO, Amando “Amang” S. San Juan, President Atty. Anna Lyne San Juan-Ponferrada and the rest of SJ Legacy Motors Executives, as well as MMPC Team headed by President and CEO Ritsu Imaeda.

    SM City San Jose Del Monte is one of the premier shopping destinations outside Metro Manila, making it the perfect location to attract more customers and patrons. With the 1S outlet, MMPC and SJ Legacy Motors aim to provide a seamless and enjoyable automotive experience for shoppers and prospective vehicle buyers while going about their daily routine.

    MMPC president and CEO Ritu Imaeda expressed his excitement at the simultaneous events, stating, “The groundbreaking of the San Jose Del Monte 3S dealership and the opening of the 1S outlet at SM City San Jose Del Monte reflect our deep commitment to providing the best products and services to our customers. With SJ Legacy Motors as our trusted partner in this area, we are confident that these new facilities will strengthen our presence in this rapidly growing region and offer even greater convenience and satisfaction to Mitsubishi owners.”

    realme 13 Pro 5G

    realme 13 Pro 5G

    Over the years, realme has produced some of the country’s most popular and bang-for-the-buck mid-range smartphones, which have been a mainstay of the segment since its market entry in 2018. The realme 13 Pro 5G is the brand’s latest mid-range fighter, and, boy, does it deliver!

    Design: 4.5/5

    realme 13 Pro

    realme has always produced eye-catching devices. The realme 13 Pro 5G continues this trend with a unique twist. The realme 13 Pro 5G’s design is a collaboration between realme and MFA Boston, drawing inspiration from the works of renowned French artist Oscar-Claude Monet. The realme 13 Pro comes in two colors: the signature Monet Purple and Emerald Green.

    The Monet Purple features a frosted glass finish at the back, while the Emerald Green variant has a vegan leather finish. Both phones have the Sunrise Halo camera, adding elegance to the look. It resembles a luxury watch’s face with its metal CNC’ed design.

    You’ll immediately notice how thin it is when you get the realme 13 Pro out of the box. The curved glass design and the metal frame elevate the look and feel of the device. It looks and feels like a flagship device.

    The realme 13 Pro has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and 2000nits peak brightness. At the front is the 32-megapixel selfie camera, and underneath the display is a fast under-display optical fingerprint reader. At the back is the Sunrise Halo camera bump that houses the 50-megapixel main shooter and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera. On the right is the volume and power buttons. On top is one of the two speakers and a mic hole, and below are the dual SIM card tray, the USB-C charging port, and the main speaker.

    Hardware: 4/5

    The realme 13 Pro 5G is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor. Our demo unit has 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

    realme 13 Pro

    The combination of the processor and memory is just right. Not the fastest in the market, it is still fast enough for simple multitasking. Here are some of the benchmark numbers I got: 666825 for Antutu (V10.3.4); 951 Single-Core Score for Geekbench 6, 2702 multi-core score for Geekbench 6, and 1766 GPU OpenCL score for Geekbench 6; 12847 for PCMark Work 3.0, and 3085 for 3Dmark’s Wild Life.

    Lighter games like Mobile Legends and Team Fight Tactics breeze through the phone. I was able to enjoy my time playing games on the phone since it didn’t heat up.

    For heavier titles like Genshin Impact, the phone did get hot. You can get a smooth experience on the medium settings. The game can still run on high settings but expect dropping frames during high action sequences.

    realme 13 Pro

    The highlight of the realme 13 Pro 5G is definitely the camera. It’s main camera is Sony’s LYT600 OIS 50-megapixel camera that captures amazing images. It has a secondary 8-megapixel ultrawide and at the front is a 32-megapixel Sony shooter as the selfie camera. Unlike its older sibling, the realme 13 Pro+ 5G, this phone did not have the Sony periscope camera.

    Battery-wise, the realme 13 Pro 5G is powered by a 5200 mAh battery with realme’s 45W SUPERVOOC charging. The battery was more than enough to last me a day despite long testing and gaming time. The phone recorded 16hrs and 26mins in PCMark’s Work 3.0 battery test that started with 85% of battery. Charging time is just around an hour for a full 100%.

    User Experience: 4/5

    The realme 13 Pro 5G runs on realme UI 5.0 over Android 14. There have been some improvements within the Realme UI since I last reviewed a realme device. It’s fairly quick and responsive, and animations are snappy.

    The realme 13 Pro 5G is great for media consumption. Its Hi-Res Stereo speakers are loud and remain crystal clear even in high volume. The AMOLED display is perfect for binge-watching Netflix. Speaking of which, the phone comes with some eye comfort tech such as the 2160Hz PWM dimming and an AI eye-comfort that automatically adjusts screen color at night when it detects any fatigue from the user.

    realme 13 Pro

    For me, the most standout feature of the realme 13 Pro 5G is the camera. The Sony shooter is amazing, especially in good conditions. The images come out sharp and details are well preserved. Portraits are amazing with great bokeh. Shooting in low light is decent and remains social media-ready. Like I said earlier, the base realme 13 Pro does not have the 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera found in the Pro+ model, but it still has a built-in 2x optical zoom and 20x digital zoom. Images from the 2x are still great, while the 5x zoom remains usable for social media.

    For video, the realme 13 Pro 5G can shoot up to 4K 30fps. There’s an ultra-steady mode, but it’s limited to 1080p and 60fps, with some slight cropping.

    Paired with the camera is a great AI-powered post-editing solution. There’s AI Smart Remover that removes unwanted photo bombs and AI Ultra-clarity that sharpens details a bit more. The AI remover does work, but not perfectly. AI Ultra-clarity is pretty much the same, though I found that the results sometimes felt a lot more artificial than simply using a slight filter.

    If there is one major issue I have with the realme 13 Pro 5G, it is the bloatware you get after starting up. Fortunately, you can easily uninstall some of them, but not all. In any case, you won’t notice them when you get used to the device.

    Value: 4/5

    Coming in at PHP24,999, the realme 13 Pro 5G offers great performance at a reasonable price. It has a great camera, an amazingly slim body, AI features, and a unique design. It has some tough competition within its segment but I still think this phone is worth considering.

    What’s Hot:

    • Amazing camera
    • Good Performance
    • Great looks
    • AI features at the price

    What’s Not:

    • Bloatware

    Bottomline:

    True to its brand reputation, realme has once again produced an outstanding mid-ranger.

    Specifications:

    • Display: 6.7 inches AMOLED
    • Processor: Snapdragon® 7s Gen 2
    • Graphics: Adreno 710
    • Memory: 12GB (up to 12GB + 12GB Dynamic RAM)

    • Camera: Rear: 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 OIS Main Camera, 8-megapixel Ultra-Wide Camera, Front: 32MP Sony Selfie Camera
    • Battery: 5200mAh with 45W SUPERVOOC Charge
    • Audio: Super Linear Dual Speakers, supports OReality Audio, Hi-Res Audio Certification, Dual-mic Noise Cancellation
    • Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC

    DepEd and Chalkboard launch the ARAL Program: A new initiative to boost literacy and numeracy in public schools

    In a landmark initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of education in the country, the Department of Education (DepEd) has entered into a formal partnership with Chalkboard, a leading provider of tutoring services, to launch the Academic Remediation, Acceleration, and Livelihood (ARAL) Program. This program seeks to address the pressing challenges in literacy and numeracy faced by Filipino students, particularly in public schools.

    The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed on October 14 at the DepEd Central Office in Pasig City by DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara and Chalkboard CEO Kristine E. Brown. This partnership brings together the strengths of both the public and private sectors to promote improved educational outcomes for K-10 learners.

    A Collaborative Effort for Quality Education

    The ARAL Program embodies a synergistic collaboration between DepEd and Chalkboard, leveraging their combined expertise to ensure accessible, high-quality education for all Filipino learners. This partnership aligns with the government’s mandate to provide accessible, quality education as outlined in Republic Act 8525, otherwise known as the “Adopt-A-School Act of 1998,” which encourages private sector involvement in improving public education.

    During the signing ceremony, DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara highlighted the importance of collaboration in achieving the department’s goals. “DepEd is committed to ensuring that quality education is accessible to all Filipino learners, and this partnership with Chalkboard is a significant step toward that goal. By working together with the private sector, we can improve the academic performance and overall well-being of our students,” he noted.

    Comprehensive, Evidence-Based Curriculum Powered by Advanced Technology

    At the heart of the ARAL Program lies Chalkboard’s evidence-based curriculum, meticulously designed to ensure effective learning outcomes. This curriculum is grounded in the latest educational research and best practices, ensuring that each component is proven to enhance literacy and numeracy skills. A key feature of this curriculum is its integration of advanced technology to process data and inform the progress of each student.

    ARAL Program Structure and Implementation

    The ARAL Program employs a comprehensive, evidence-based strategy to address learning deficits exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Developed by Chalkboard, the program offers up to 25 days of targeted tutoring over six weeks, delivered through both in-person and digital platforms. This high-frequency, intensive approach is supported by research demonstrating substantial improvements in literacy and numeracy skills.

    The program includes several key components:

    •    Personalized Learning: The tutoring sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring that every learner receives the appropriate support.

    •    Nutritional Support: Recognizing the connection between nutrition and learning, the ARAL Program will provide nutritious snacks or meals during each tutoring session to support students’ well-being.

    •    Community Upskilling and Engagement: The program involves local community members as paid tutors, creating economic opportunities while fostering a supportive educational environment.

    •    Holistic Development: In addition to academic support, the ARAL Program aims to develop students’ socio-emotional skills, preparing them for success both in and outside of the classroom.

    Chalkboard has designed the program to be scalable and sustainable, ensuring it can be replicated in different regions and communities across the Philippines. “We believe that education is the key to unlocking the full potential of every child,” said Kristine E. Brown, CEO of Chalkboard. “The ARAL Program is our contribution to improving the educational landscape of the Philippines, particularly in addressing the learning gaps that have been exacerbated by recent challenges such as the pandemic.”

    Target Beneficiaries and Community Impact

    The primary beneficiaries of the ARAL Program are K-10 students in public schools, particularly those struggling with literacy and numeracy. The program’s implementation will begin with pilot schools, and its success will be measured through Chalkboard’s assessment system, supplemented by DepEd’s assessment tools.

    The program not only benefits students but also the wider community. Local community members will be engaged as paid tutors or food vendors, providing them with meaningful employment opportunities while contributing to the educational success of the students.

    DepEd will coordinate closely with Chalkboard to select target areas and ensure smooth program implementation. Monitoring and evaluation will be conducted throughout the program’s two-year duration to ensure that it delivers tangible and verifiable results.

    A Model for Future Educational Partnerships

    The ARAL Program will be funded through partnerships with private sponsors, local government units, and other supporting entities. With the support of these stakeholders, the program aims to create a lasting positive impact on the academic performance and socio-emotional development of Filipino students.

    This collaboration between DepEd and Chalkboard is seen as a model for future public-private partnerships in education. Both parties are optimistic that the ARAL Program will not only help bridge current learning gaps but also lay the foundation for long-term educational improvements in the country.

    Microsoft introduces a more personalized Copilot with voice and vision features

    Microsoft recently announced updates to Copilot, transforming the AI assistant into a more personalized, interactive, and intuitive part of daily life. With the introduction of voice and vision capabilities, Copilot is now more integrated than ever, offering a seamless, hands-free experience. 

    Copilot

    Imagine beginning your day with Copilot reading the latest news or guiding you through a recipe, step by step. Thanks to its enhanced voice feature, you can now converse with Copilot as naturally as you would with a friend—simply ask a question and receive an instant, conversational response. Whether you’re organizing your day or checking the weather, Copilot is designed to support your every need. 

    Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, spearheaded this transformation. “At Microsoft AI, we’re committed to building an AI companion that truly enhances people’s lives,” said Suleyman. “This marks a new era where technology is not just functional, but supportive and genuinely helpful.” 

    The updated Copilot interface offers a friendlier, more welcoming design, with the new Copilot Discover page at the center of the experience. This page evolves as you interact, tailoring suggestions, tips, and information to your unique preferences, making each interaction more personal and engaging. 

    Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, emphasized the contributions of Microsoft’s Pi team and Inflection AI partners: “Their insights into user needs have been instrumental in shaping the new Copilot. We’ve created an experience that’s designed to adapt to the individual.” 

    A key focus of this update is voice interaction, with four distinct voice options, giving users the freedom to select the one that feels most comfortable. “We’re investing heavily in voice technology to ensure that conversations with Copilot feel fluid and natural,” Mehdi added. 

    In addition to voice, Copilot Vision brings a new level of functionality, allowing the AI assistant to “see” and interpret online content. Whether you’re shopping, reading, or conducting research, Copilot can assist with additional information or help you navigate your tasks more efficiently. 

    Other highlights include Copilot Daily – a personalized audio briefing with news and weather updates, perfect for your morning routine. For more complex inquiries, the Think Deeper feature delivers detailed, step-by-step insights, helping you make more informed decisions with ease. 

    The enhanced Copilot is now available on iOS and Android apps, as well as on the web at copilot.microsoft.com and via the Copilot Windows app. Voice features will launch first in English in select regions, with plans to expand to additional languages and locations soon. 

    With this update, Copilot is not just an AI assistant—it’s an essential companion for navigating everyday life.

    Igloo on driving insurance growth in the PH through end-to-end digitalization

    End-to-end digitalization of insurance is becoming a crucial strategy to boost insurance penetration in the Philippines, especially as recent data indicates a decline in coverage across the country. In 2023, insurance penetration in the Philippines sank to 1.6%, lower than the 1.73% recorded in 2022.  This decline highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions to make insurance more accessible and appealing to a broader population.

    Igloo, a regional insurtech, addresses low insurance penetration by leveraging technology and partnerships to streamline operations across the entire insurance value chain–from insurance and intermediaries to consumers. By digitalizing processes throughout the ecosystem, Igloo enables faster, more efficient services, seamlessly integrating insurance into everyday digital interactions such as e-commerce and travel bookings. 

    Empowering Intermediaries with a Digital Platform

    One key aspect of this digital transformation is the creation of digital platforms for intermediaries. Traditionally, insurance intermediaries rely on manual processes from onboard customers to settling claims, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Digital tools allow intermediaries to streamline the entire process from customer onboarding to claim settlement. These tools help manage customer information, assess needs, and complete transactions faster and more accurately. As a result, intermediaries can focus more on building relationships with current and potential clients, rather than being burdened by administrative tasks.

    Ignite introduced Igloo, a digital platform that helps insurance intermediaries sell more efficiently. Key features include a user-friendly interface for faster browsing, a quick quote system for instant premium calculations, secure payment processing, and tools for team and data management to simplify reporting. It also tracks referral fees in real time, depositing them directly into bank accounts. Launched in Vietnam in 2022, Indonesia in 2023, and now in the Philippines, Igloo offers 42 products across 9 categories, including Travel, Pet, and Motor protection. It was awarded Mobile App of the Year – Vietnam at the Insurance Asia Awards 2024.

    Facilitating a Seamless Digital Experience through Embedded Insurance

    Igloo is transforming the insurance landscape by providing a seamless, end-to-end digital experience through embedded insurance. As an insurtech platform, it enables businesses to integrate insurance products into their platforms, facilitating seamless policy applications, purchase, and claims management. This reduces friction for both insurance providers and distributors, streamlining complex tasks such as underwriting, policy issuance, and claims processing, making the entire system more efficient and user-friendly.

    Igloo partners with online platforms like Lazada and Shopee, as well as payment services like DANA in Indonesia and GCash in the Philippines, and retail chains like Circle K in Vietnam, to develop customized and embedded insurance products that integrate smoothly into digital experiences. In addition, telecom companies like Smart, consumer finance platforms such as Skyro and Salmon, and B2B MSME enabler Growsari also collaborate with Igloo in the Philippines to expand access to insurance across different sectors. This enables customers to purchase insurance directly through these platforms with minimal hassle. As a result, consumers can easily discover, evaluate, and buy insurance products in just a few clicks, making insurance a natural part of their everyday transactions. Consequently, securing coverage for travel, electronics, or e-commerce purchases becomes nearly invisible yet highly convenient.

    This frictionless approach allows customers to opt-in with just a few clicks, which improves conversion rates. It also appeals to those who might not have initially considered insurance but recognize its value when offered conveniently.

    Bringing Insurance Closer to Consumers, Digitally

    Building on its success in embedded insurance and business-to-agent models, Igloo has soft-launched a direct-to-consumer platform in Indonesia, igloo.co.id, where users can explore insurance products like motorcycle, car, pet, and travel coverage from top insurers. 

    Introducing these platforms is essential for improving insurance accessibility and expanding market penetration. Igloo’s direct-to-consumer platform streamlines the insurance process, enabling users to easily compare products, understand coverage, and manage policies in one place. This approach not only resolves common transparency issues but also empowers consumers to make informed decisions. Digitalization, in this case, increases accessibility, boosts efficiency, and builds trust, ultimately driving higher adoption rates and fostering a more inclusive insurance ecosystem.

    As the Philippines experiences a decline in insurance penetration, digitalization offers a clear solution to reverse this trend. By simplifying processes for intermediaries and customers alike, insurers can eliminate barriers to entry. The growing prevalence of embedded insurance and direct-to-consumer platforms also exposes consumers to more coverage options, increasing the likelihood of purchasing insurance and improving overall financial security.

    LG’S Brand Reinvention: A global success story

    LG Electronics (LG) has made significant strides in the global market with its innovative brand strategies, earning its place as a top global brand.

    On October 10, LG was ranked 97th with a brand value of approximately USD 6.5 billion in the Best Global Brands 2024 report by global brand consulting firm Interbrand.

    Interbrand’s evaluation of the Best Global Brands assesses brand value through a comprehensive analysis of a company’s financial performance, role of brand and brand strength. Factors such as direction, engagement and relevance are considered. As a pioneer in the industry, Interbrand’s ISO-certified evaluation criteria are widely regarded as the most reliable methodology in branding and marketing.

    LG

     LG’s brand value has surged, reflecting significant improvements in both business and brand competitiveness compared to the previous year. LG’s brand value increased by a substantial 38.7 percent year-over-year, receiving high scores in the categories of role of brand and brand strength.

    Interbrand attributes this positive assessment to LG’s clear vision as a Smart Life Solution Company and its sustained growth through the exploration of new opportunities. The company has also adapted its brand strategies to ensure consistent customer engagement across diverse regions and generations, utilizing communication methods that resonate with audiences both online and offline.

    In July of last year, LG unveiled its vision to evolve into a “Smart Life Solution Company,” enhancing customer experiences across various environments, including homes, commercial spaces, mobility and virtual realms. Since embarking on its transformation, LG’s brand value has skyrocketed. From approximately USD 3.1 billion in 2022, it has more than doubled to about USD 6.5 billion in 2024.

    Interbrand has also praised LG’s “Brand Reinvent” initiative, which aims to establish LG as a youthful and dynamic brand that resonates with customers across generations and regions.

    To achieve this, LG has unified its brand message under the brand promise of “Life’s Good,” ensuring it is embraced by all organizations globally and integrated into every customer touch point of brand experience. This includes redefining its brand identity and visual expression. “Life’s Good” encapsulates the brand’s mission to help everyone savor life’s precious moments through its products, services and communications. In the digital realm, the brand symbol “Face of the Future” engages customers with a friendly smile and wink, fostering a sense of connection through various digital expressions.

    In addition, LG is launching brand campaigns and pop-up events that invite future customers, particularly Generation Z, to engage both online and offline.

    The global campaign “Optimism your feed” aims to spread positivity through online algorithms, encouraging a better life with an optimistic outlook. This initiative garnered significant attention, amassing over 1.8 billion views within two months of its launch on platforms like YouTube and TikTok.

    Moreover, LG is going to keep enhancing its engagement with Generation Z by creating offline customer experience spaces that reflect young customers’ interests, such as lifestyle, games and music.

    LG has previously been recognized as one of the top 100 global brands for three consecutive years from 2005 to 2007.

    “We are transforming from a leading home appliance and consumer electronics company into a Smart Life Solution Company. As part of this transformation, we’ve initiated our brand reinvention based on our long-standing promise, ‘Life’s Good,’” said William Cho, CEO of LG Electronics. “At this historical moment of business transformation, we are proud to be recognized as one of the top 100 global brands, a testament to our strong brand presence and growth potential.”
