How did Pintale and 360 Innovative collaborate to start the business in Myanmar market?
Ying Amekong: We see the opportunity that we can grow this market together. We will not only expand the market but also educate and give the knowledge to the market as well. One of the reasons to join together is that each of them have different expertises.
For example, 360 Innovative is the regional agency with a lot of technology and experiences gathered over ten years. We have formed partnership with Mandalay Advertising which is a third biggest media agency in Myanmar with more than eight years’ experiences and combined with local knowledge and expertise. This will make 360 Pintale very strong.
Kyaw Zay Ya: I came to realize the need to invest more in digital media than in traditional media because I can forecast that all of our clients will advertise by using digital media in coming two years. Mandalay advertising has partnered with 360 Innovative and established new business identity with the name of 360 Pintale. I hope our partner will support a lot of technology to us. We are planning to share our knowledge not only to our clients but people who are interested in digital media as well.
We also have planned to develop resources in Myanmar by planning exchange program to be more knowledgeable in the digital skills. 360 Pintale is a full service agency in Myanmar with digital and PR specialists. For example, if any client comes to us, we will be one single point or solution to help the client starting from branding strategy.

We are planning to work together because in the moderate market like this, we need a lot of supports from other agencies. They are considered as our friends who would like to grow this business together. Working together is the best way to do business for us.
What is the difference between digital landscape of Myanmar and Thailand?
Ying Amekong: Market environment in Thailand is different from Myanmar. Digital landscape of Thailand is very dynamic because of the following reasons: infrastructure in Thailand is very developed. Consumers can access high speed internet very cheaply. Thailand is the second largest digitalized country in Asia.
We have seen very good signs in Myanmar which has just been opened. We see a lot of changes such as a lot of people spend more time on mobile especially young people. People started using Grab because they know that it is easy to use and it can control their spending. In Myanmar, there is a great opportunity to make investments in digital market.
