Archetype Malaysia adds new F&B account to roster

Guinness Malaysia, a flagship brand under Heineken Malaysia Berhad, has appointed Archetype Malaysia as its public relations agency of record for the full calendar year of 2025.

The agency will spearhead all PR efforts for the brand - driving brand relevance, media impact, and consumer engagement through an integrated PR programme that spans storytelling, influencer marketing, and experiential activations.

Joyce Lim, Marketing Manager for Guinness Malaysia, said, "Archetype impressed us with their fresh and exciting ideas to amplify our football platform, particularly as we continue to build momentum around the Premier League. While the overall campaign structure is solid, Archetype's PR strategy brings a strong narrative angle that complements and enhances our brand goals. We're confident in the agency's ability to bring this campaign to life with the passion and boldness that Guinness is known for."

Commenting on the appointment, Lee Tiam Siang, Managing Consultant at Archetype Malaysia, added, "Football is more than just a sport - it's a shared ritual and a universal language that unites people across backgrounds. Our partnership with Guinness is about fuelling that passion in ways that are authentic, energizing, and distinctly Guinness. We're honoured to help shape an unforgettable year ahead for the brand and its fans."

Golin launches 'First Answer' AI visibility platform

Golin has launched First Answer, an AI visibility platform designed to give brands insights on how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and other AI systems describe them to users.
 
The platform addresses how up to 90 per cent of AI search results come from earned media citations and decreases the risk brands face of having their stories shaped by outdated information, competitor messaging, or AI-generated errors. 
 
“AI systems now determine which brands succeed by prioritising earned media as their most trusted source,” said Jack Barbour, EVP and AI Lead at Golin New York. “When ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity answers questions about your brand, up to 90% of their citations come from earned media sources—not your website. First Answer ensures AI platforms see optimised, accurate, and strategically positioned content, giving our clients clear advantages.”
 
First Answer provides AI optimisation by analysing brand presence across various AI platforms, providing visibility and sentiment evaluation and identification of media outlets, social sites, and owned pages that drive citations. It also looks to increase positive AI visibility through AI-optimised content.
