Goodday Milk Embarks on a Mission to create awareness and educate Malaysians towards the preservation of Borneon orangutans

Goodday Milk extends support to WWF-Malaysia to spread awareness and encourage Malaysians to protect orangutans

Kuala Lumpur, 5 October 2020 – One of Malaysia’s favourite milk brands since 1968, Goodday Milk is bringing more goodness for Malaysians and the communities we live in, including our natural treasures. In conjunction with the launch of Goodday Milk’s latest Gooday UHT Banana Milk, the brand will showcase support to WWF-Malaysia (World Wide Fund for Nature – Malaysia) to shed light on the plight of orangutans in the country.

Aiming to be more than just a milk beverage on store shelves, this marks the first wildlife conservation campaign spearheaded by Goodday Milk. Bringing more goodness to communities, through this initiative, Goodday Milk aims to educate Malaysians about orangutans as well as spread awareness on what we can do to protect this endangered species.

“At Goodday Milk we have always been advocating campaigns that add goodness to the life of our consumers, be it through meaningful partnerships or exciting rewards. Within support of WWF-Malaysia’s conservation efforts, we hope to leverage our vast audience of consumers and get them actively involved in protecting our Bornean orangutans,” said Santharuban T. Sundaram, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Alternate Business at Etika Sdn Bhd.

To drive more love and kindness towards our furry friends, Goodday Milk decided to step in and create awareness about the plight of our Bornean orangutans as well as encourage consumers to learn more about this endangered species and take action. To get consumers involved with this cause, Goodday Milk’s latest UHT Banana Milk packaging comes incorporated with a QR Code that consumers can quickly scan to learn more about the endangerment of orangutans in Malaysia. The link will also direct consumers to information about how they themselves can support the cause, by spreading awareness and contributing towards the mission.

In order to drive further support, Goodday Milk is also encouraging consumers to share images of their Goodday UHT Banana Milk pack on their social channels with #GooddaySupportsOrangutans. Upong receiving 1,000 hashtags from consumers, the brand will double their donations to WWF-Malaysia’s orangutan conservation efforts.

As a part of this campaign, Goodday Milk is leveraging digital assets such as engaging and informative videos to spread further awareness about the issues affecting orangutans in Borneo such as deforestation and climate change. Goodday Milk has also created the first orangutan influencer, Miss Nana to advocate a good cause. Miss Nana will be featured in  videos, taking audiences through the forests of Borneo and sharing her story with them, to educate Malaysians on the importance and need for protecting orangutans.

Goodday Milk is no stranger to heart-warming, feel-good campaigns that bring good cheer. From donations in kind to orphanage homes, to extending support to local dairy farmers and milk storage facilities, Goodday Milk has always upheld its mission of bringing goodness to the community through various means. More recently, the brand has also explored the use of digital initiatives, such as virtual moreh sessions and webAR celebrity house visits, to champion a Safe Ramadan for Malaysians.

The team at Mamee has extended their imagination to a level unseen in the history of instant noodle in Malaysia with a new product called Spicy Mi Boba. This spicy instant noodle, which features  boba, is a unique collaboration with the popular milk tea chain Tealive.

Spicy Mi Boba can be eaten cool too by adding ice cubes. It also comes with a straw so that you can drink the soup at the end.

We have seen tapioca pearls being added inot various foods from pizza, wonton to hot pot. Well, creative folks in Japan have also experimented with boba as an instant noodle topping.

Some people took this concept even further by pouring milk tea into the instant noodle. Once they have finished eating the noodles, the next step is to drink the soup with a straw.

  1. During April Fool’s Day in 2020, Axton Salim, the director at the Indonesian instant noodle maker Indofood, hinted the possibility of Indomie Mi Goreng with boba on his Instagram account. The fictitious Indomie Boba did inspire quite a number of netizens in Indonesia to turn this concept into a reality in their homes.

To the guys at Indomie, Mamee has beat you to this and has now turned boba instant noodle into a reality.

The new Spicy Mi Boba is a reflection of how brands are listening and watching what consumers are doing and turning their creative ideas into a reality. It also demonstrate how both Mamee and Tealive speak the language of its target consumers, especially young consumers, who are keen on interesting hybrid or mashup concept.

The next step for Mamee is to encourage foodservice operators or even individuals to explore more creative ways to use the Mamee instant noodles at home or in restaurants.

The final message is do get your Mamee x Tealive Spicy Mi Boba now at shop.tealive.com.my.
