Award-winning Philippine digital marketing agency reinforces its proprietary growth framework with EOS to help finance, real estate, and ecommerce brands achieve sustainable business growth through greater operational discipline and experimentation.
MAKATI CITY, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 July 2026 – As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms digital marketing, Philippine digital marketing agency Propelrr® has adopted the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) to strengthen the operational foundation behind its proprietary growth methodology, enabling the agency to deliver more consistent, measurable business outcomes as it scales.
Propelrr EOS AI-first business model 16 years operational excellence
The move marks a significant milestone as Propelrr celebrates 16 years of being a digital marketing agency, helping organizations across the finance, real estate, ecommerce, and enterprise sectors navigate digital transformation through data-driven marketing, experimentation, and continuous optimization.
While AI has dramatically lowered the barriers to content creation, campaign management and audience targeting, many organizations continue to struggle with translating these technologies into sustained business performance. According to McKinsey & Company, although AI adoption has accelerated globally, only a relatively small proportion of organisations have successfully scaled AI initiatives to generate meaningful enterprise-wide value, highlighting that operational capabilities and not technology alone remain the defining factor for long-term success.
“AI allows businesses to execute faster, but speed alone doesn’t guarantee growth,” said Francis Gary Viray, Founder of Propelrr®. “The organizations that will lead in the next decade are those that build systems for continuous learning, experimentation, and disciplined decision-making. That’s exactly what EOS helps us strengthen.”
Addressing the Growth Challenges Businesses Face
Drawing from more than 16 years of client engagements across multiple industries, Propelrr identified three recurring growth challenges that organisations commonly encounter regardless of sector:
Trust-Based Growth, where businesses operating in highly regulated industries such as finance must balance compliance requirements with marketing performance.
Considered-Purchase Growth, where customers conduct extensive research before making purchase decisions, requiring brands to establish authority across search engines, AI platforms and digital touchpoints throughout the buyer journey.
Optimization-Led Growth, where sustained business performance depends on systematic experimentation, continuous testing and incremental improvements rather than isolated campaign successes.
These challenges form the basis of Propelrr’s proprietary Experimentation Program, Integrated Growth Approach and Propelrr Digital Marketing Framework®, which combine customer insights, data analytics, search visibility, paid media and continuous optimisation into a unified growth strategy.
Proven Results Across Industries
Propelrr’s methodology has delivered measurable outcomes for organisations operating in highly competitive industries.
For the Palawan Pawnshop Group, the agency developed paid media campaigns that balanced strict privacy and compliance requirements for finance industries with performance objectives, contributing to award-winning marketing campaigns recognised at the Marketing Excellence Awards.
For DMCI Homes, Propelrr implemented a search-first content strategy centred on the questions prospective buyers ask during the property research process, helping the developer achieve sustained organic visibility of more than 63,000 monthly organic sessions while strengthening discoverability across AI-powered search platforms.
Primary Homes achieved a 619% increase in branded traffic, a 712% increase in total website visitors, and doubled new lead generation following a research-led digital transformation programme, earning recognition at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.
Meanwhile, OSP International generated more than US$2 million in incremental sales after Propelrr tested 285 research-driven growth hypotheses through its Experimentation Program, resulting in conversion improvements of up to 78.12% and multiple international marketing awards.
Building Operational Excellence Through EOS
While Propelrr’s proprietary methodology has evolved over more than a decade, EOS introduces an additional layer of organisational discipline to ensure consistent execution across every client engagement.
The EOS framework establishes clear accountability through measurable scorecards, quarterly priorities, structured weekly leadership meetings and a shared organisational vision, enabling the agency to standardise decision-making while maintaining agility as it grows.
“We’ve spent years refining how we help organizations grow,” said Mitchelle Viray, Co-Founder of Propelrr®. “EOS strengthens the operational discipline behind our methodology so clients receive the same level of accountability, consistency and execution regardless of the size or complexity of their engagement.”
The adoption of EOS reflects Propelrr’s long-term commitment to building an organisation capable of delivering sustainable client outcomes amid rapidly evolving technologies, changing consumer behaviour and increasingly competitive digital markets.
As AI continues reshaping the marketing landscape, Propelrr believes the future belongs not simply to agencies with access to the latest technologies, but to those with the operational systems capable of consistently turning those technologies into measurable business growth.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 Julai 2026 – UEM Edgenta Berhad (“UEM Edgenta” atau “Syarikat”), syarikat Pengurusan Aset dan Penyelesaian Infrastruktur yang dilantik sebagai Perunding Pengurusan Projek (PMC), terus memperkukuhkan infrastruktur Sarawak. Susulan kejayaan menyiapkan Projek Lebuhraya Pan Borneo Sarawak, Syarikat kini mempertingkatkan lagi keupayaan pengurusan projek menerusi perlaksanaan projek mega Jalan Persisir Sarawak dan Jalan Utama Kedua Sarawak (CSTR). Tunjang utama kepada projek infrastruktur bernilai RM11 bilion ini ialah Jambatan Batang Lupar 1 yang telah dirasmikan oleh Premier Sarawak pada 9 Julai lalu. Sebagai jambatan merentasi sungai terpanjang di Malaysia, struktur ikonik ini bukan sekadar satu pencapaian kejuruteraan, malah berfungsi sebagai penghubung utama yang menyatukan rangkaian jalan persisir negeri.
Disebalik kejayaan menghubungkan Sebuyau dan Triso, terselit kisah sebenar pembinaan Jambatan Batang Lupar 1, satu perjalanan yang mencerminkan ketekunan dan keazaman kejuruteraan dalam merealisasikan projek ini. Diterajui oleh Jabatan Kerja Raya Sarawak (JKR Sarawak) sebagai peneraju utama projek, pembinaan struktur mega merentasi salah satu sungai paling mencabar di negeri ini memerlukan tadbir urus teknikal yang amat rapi. Bekerjasama rapat dengan JKR Sarawak, UEM Edgenta menyediakan pengurusan projek serta penyeliaan teknikal yang kritikal bagi memastikan visi besar ini dilaksanakan dengan selamat dan cekap.
Merentasi muara Batang Lupar sepanjang 4.844 kilometer, jambatan kabel pancang ini melintasi halangan geografi utama yang selama ini memisahkan komuniti di kawasan persisir. Jambatan ini merupakan sebahagian daripada rangkaian CSTR yang merangkumi 14 jambatan utama, termasuk lima (5) jambatan kabel penahan yang menjadi mercu tanda pembangunan infrastruktur Sarawak. Pembinaan struktur sebesar ini memerlukan pemasangan cerucuk yang menjangkau jauh ke dasar sungai yang kompleks serta pengurusan ratusan ribu tan metrik bahan binaan. Sebagai PMC, UEM Edgenta dipertanggungjawabkan untuk menyelaras pelbagai kontraktor, memastikan pematuhan kepada piawaian keselamatan dan kualiti antarabangsa, serta memastikan perlaksanaan projek mengikut jadual walaupun berdepan cabaran persekitaran yang tidak menentu.
Mengulas mengenai skala penyelarasan teknikal tersebut, Pengarah Urusan/Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif UEM Edgenta, Shaiful Subhan berkata, “Menghubungkan jurang geografi yang begitu besar memerlukan penyelarasan keupayaan teknikal yang luar biasa. Di UEM Edgenta, penyelesaian infrastruktur kami direka untuk mengurus tahap kerumitan seperti ini, sekali gus memastikan integriti struktur serta pengurusan projek Jambatan Batang Lupar 1 memenuhi piawaian keselamatan dan kualiti antarabangsa tertinggi.”
Bagi merealisasikan projek ini, UEM Edgenta memanfaatkan teknologi pengurusan projek terkini. Projek berskala besar seperti ini memerlukan lebih daripada sekadar pemantauan konvensional; ia menuntut ketepatan digital yang tinggi bagi memenuhi spesifikasi yang ketat. Dengan memanfaatkan analitik pembinaan masa nyata serta pemantauan tapak menggunakan dron, UEM Edgenta bersama pasukan projek berjaya mengekalkan pemantauan menyeluruh sepanjang hampir lima (5) kilometer jajaran jambatan bagi memastikan jaminan kualiti dilaksanakan secara menyeluruh. Pendekatan berasaskan teknologi ini memastikan setiap komponen dihasilkan dan dipasang mengikut spesifikasi yang ditetapkan sebelum dibawa ke lokasi pemasangan.
Lebih penting lagi, peranan Syarikat di lapangan bukan sekadar tertumpu kepada penyiapan projek. Dengan melibatkan jurutera dan kontraktor tempatan Sarawak secara aktif dalam penggunaan teknologi BIM dan dron, projek ini turut menjadi platform pemindahan ilmu dan kepakaran khusus yang memperkukuh keupayaan tempatan untuk mengendalikan projek mega marin pada masa hadapan.
Cabaran projek Batang Lupar bukan sahaja melibatkan aspek geografi dan struktur, malah turut merangkumi faktor alam sekitar yang sangat mencabar. Sungai ini terkenal dengan fenomena benak (tidal bore) yang kuat serta arus yang deras. Selain itu, Lembangan Batang Lupar merupakan habitat semula jadi kepada antara populasi buaya muara terbesar di rantau ini, yang sinonim dengan legenda Bujang Senang. Bagi UEM Edgenta, pengurusan keselamatan tapak memerlukan pendekatan yang jauh lebih menyeluruh daripada prosedur operasi biasa. Tadbir urus Kesihatan, Keselamatan dan Alam Sekitar (HSE) diperluaskan melangkaui pengurusan jentera berat dengan merangkumi langkah keselamatan maritim yang ketat, pemantauan pasang surut serta kesedaran terhadap ekologi setempat. Kejayaan mencapai jutaan jam bekerja tanpa insiden besar dalam persekitaran sungai yang mencabar ini membuktikan budaya keselamatan yang tinggi yang diterapkan oleh Syarikat di setiap peringkat pelaksanaan projek.
Akhirnya, kepakaran kejuruteraan yang dicurahkan dalam pembinaan Jambatan Batang Lupar 1 bukan sekadar diukur melalui kehebatan strukturnya, tetapi juga melalui impak jangka panjang kepada rakyat dan komuniti yang dihubungkannya. Selama beberapa dekad, perjalanan antara bandar-bandar pesisir yang dipisahkan oleh sungai ini bergantung kepada perkhidmatan feri, sekali gus menjadi kekangan kepada aktiviti ekonomi tempatan serta melambatkan perkhidmatan kecemasan. Melalui kejayaan menyelia pembinaan jambatan ini, UEM Edgenta menyokong usaha Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak dalam merapatkan jurang sosioekonomi yang wujud. Jambatan ini dijangka mengurangkan masa perjalanan dengan ketara, membuka peluang pelaburan baharu di sepanjang kawasan pesisir, memperkukuh rantaian bekalan sektor pertanian serta meningkatkan akses masyarakat luar bandar kepada kemudahan kesihatan dan pendidikan.
Bersempena sambutan Hari Sarawak yang baru sahaja diraikan, pelancaran jambatan ini membawa makna yang cukup besar. Pengarah Urusan Infrastructure Solutions UEM Edgenta, Raihana Ahmad, berkata projek ini melambangkan aspirasi yang lebih besar daripada sekadar sebuah struktur fizikal. “Jambatan ini merupakan manifestasi perpaduan. Bagi kami di UEM Edgenta, menyelia pelaksanaan projek ini merupakan satu tanggungjawab kepada negara. Seiring dengan semangat Hari Sarawak, kami amat berbangga kerana kepakaran kejuruteraan dan penyeliaan yang kami laksanakan telah membantu mengubah sebuah struktur konkrit menjadi nadi penghubung yang akan membawa kemakmuran bersama kepada masyarakat luar bandar dan pesisir.”
Usaha tersebut turut mendapat pengiktirafan apabila UEM Edgenta menerima IEM Pinnacle Award 2026 dalam kategori Engineering & Construction, yang disampaikan oleh Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) sempena Majlis Makan Malam Tahunan dan Anugerah ke-67 badan profesional itu. Anugerah tersebut mengiktiraf peranan UEM Edgenta sebagai PMC yang bekerjasama rapat dengan JKR Sarawak dalam menjayakan projek ikonik ini.
Hari ini, Jambatan Batang Lupar 1 bukan sahaja berdiri megah sebagai jambatan merentasi sungai terpanjang di negara ini, malah menjadi simbol kebanggaan Sarawak serta kedaulatan ekonomi wilayah Sarawak. Di sebalik keagungan strukturnya terserlah kepakaran teknikal, tadbir urus yang mantap, inovasi teknologi serta komitmen tinggi terhadap keselamatan oleh UEM Edgenta yang menjadi pemacu utama dalam merealisasikan aspirasi pembangunan infrastruktur terbesar Sarawak.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 July 2026 – UEM Edgenta Berhad (“UEM Edgenta” or “the Company”), a leading Asset Management and Infrastructure Solutions company serving as the appointed Project Management Consultant (PMC), continues to drive Sarawak’s infrastructure development forward. Following the successful completion of the Pan Borneo Highway Sarawak, the Company has further strengthened its project management capabilities through the monumental Sarawak Coastal Road and the Second Trunk Road (CSTR). A centrepiece of these RM11 billion mega infrastructure projects is the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge, officially launched by the Premier of Sarawak on 9 July. Standing as the longest river crossing bridge in Malaysia, this structure is more than just a marvel of concrete and steel; it serves as a critical artery designed to physically unify the state’s coastal road network.
Behind the completed structure linking Sebuyau to Triso lies the true story of the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge – a story of the quiet, relentless engineering determination that brought it to life. Spearheaded by Jabatan Kerja Raya Sarawak (JKR Sarawak) as the project’s principal team lead, delivering a mega-structure across one of the state’s most formidable rivers demanded an extraordinary level of technical governance. Working in close partnership with JKR Sarawak, UEM Edgenta provided the critical project management and technical oversight necessary to execute this ambitious vision safely and efficiently.
Spanning an immense 4.844 kilometers across the Batang Lupar estuary, this cable-stayed bridge crosses a major geographic barrier that has historically isolated coastal communities. The bridge forms part of the CSTR network, comprising 14 major bridges, including five (5) distinctive cable-stayed structures that have become icons of Sarawak’s infrastructure development. Constructing a structure of this scale requires driving deep foundation piles into complex riverbed soils and managing hundreds of thousands of metric tons of materials. As the PMC, UEM Edgenta was tasked with the immense responsibility of navigating these challenges, which meant aligning multiple contractors, ensuring international quality and safety compliance, and keeping a massive multi-year timeline on track despite unpredictable environmental variables.
Shaiful Subhan, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of UEM Edgenta, commented on the scale of this technical orchestration, “Bridging massive geographical divides requires an arrangement of immense technical capabilities. At UEM Edgenta, our infrastructure solutions are designed to handle precisely this level of complexity, ensuring that the structural integrity and project management of the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge meet the highest international safety and quality standards.”
To execute this, UEM Edgenta brought cutting-edge project management technology to the forefront. A project of this magnitude requires more than traditional oversight; it demands high digital precision to meet stringent specifications. By leveraging real-time construction analytics combined with drone-assisted site reporting, UEM Edgenta and the project teams maintained total visibility over the nearly five (5) kilometer span to conduct stringent quality assurance. This tech-driven governance ensured every component was fabricated and installed to exact specifications before it even reached the water.
Crucially, the Company’s role on the ground extends beyond immediate project delivery; by actively integrating local Sarawakian engineers and contractors into these advanced BIM and drone methodologies, the project serves as a live incubator for specialised knowledge transfer, elevating the state’s internal capacity to manage future marine mega-structures.
The challenges of the Batang Lupar project were not solely topographical or structural; they were fiercely environmental. The river is notoriously dynamic, featuring aggressive tidal bores and fast-flowing currents. More pressingly, the Batang Lupar Basin is the natural habitat for one of the densest populations of estuarine saltwater crocodiles in the region, infamously ingrained in local history through the legend of Bujang Senang. For UEM Edgenta, managing site safety meant rewriting the standard operational playbook. Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) governance had to extend beyond typical heavy machinery protocols to include strict maritime safety measures, tidal monitoring, and specialised ecological awareness. Achieving milestone man-hours without major incident in a challenging riverine environment known for strong tidal bores and estuarine crocodile populations is a testament to the rigorous safety culture the Company enforces on the ground.
Ultimately, the engineering expertise invested in the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge is measured not only by the structure itself, but by the lasting impact it will have on the people and communities it connects. For decades, traveling between the coastal towns separated by this massive river meant relying on ferry services, a bottleneck that stifled local commerce and delayed emergency services. By successfully overseeing the bridging of this gap, UEM Edgenta is supporting the Sarawak State Government in the latter’s effort to close massive socio-economic divides. The bridge is expected to significantly reduce travel times, unlock new investment opportunities along the coastal belt, strengthen agricultural supply chains, and improve rural communities’ access to essential healthcare and education hubs.
With Sarawak Day recently commemorated, the timing of this launch carries profound weight. Raihana Ahmad, Managing Director of Infrastructure Solutions at UEM Edgenta, reflects on the project’s deeper meaning the project embodies. “This bridge is a physical manifestation of unity. For us at UEM Edgenta, overseeing this project was a national duty. In line with Sarawak Day, we are immensely proud to see how our engineering oversight has helped turn a concrete structure into a vital lifeline that will bring shared prosperity to our rural and coastal communities.”
These efforts were recently recognised with the IEM Pinnacle Award 2026 in the Engineering & Construction category, presented by the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) at its 67th Annual Dinner & Awards Night. The award acknowledges UEM Edgenta’s role as the PMC, working alongside JKR Sarawak in delivering this flagship project.
Batang Lupar 1 Bridge stands today not just as the longest river-crossing bridge in the nation, but as a towering symbol of state pride and economic sovereignty. Behind its majestic span is the rigorous technical expertise and governance, technological innovation, and unyielding safety standards of UEM Edgenta quietly driving the realisation of Sarawak’s greatest infrastructural aspirations.

Beyond Football: Mengniu Elevates Cultural Exchange on the World Cup Stage
For Mengniu, building a Chinese Culture Pavilion at this FIFA World Cup reflects a deeper understanding of the powerful connection between sport and cultural exchange. Mengniu believes that the FIFA World Cup is not only the pinnacle of football competition but also a global platform where diverse civilizations meet, connect, and learn from one another. As an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup from China, Mengniu sees it as both an opportunity and a responsibility to share China’s stories and showcase the richness of Chinese civilization with audiences worldwide.

At the brand level, together with global brand ambassadors Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Lamine Yamal, Mengniu brings its corporate spirit, “Born for Greatness,” to life on football’s biggest stage. The company has also partnered with Hisense to launch a series of coordinated Chinese-character pitch-side advertising campaigns during the tournament. Moving beyond individual brand promotion, the two companies present a united expression of Chinese brands, confidently demonstrating the growing global influence of Chinese enterprises.
In terms of corporate social responsibility, Mengniu not only brings Chinese culture to the international stage but also demonstrates the commitment of a responsible Chinese enterprise through meaningful public initiatives. At the opening match of this year’s FIFA World Cup, six teenage footballers from Inner Mongolia were selected by Mengniu to escort the FIFA flag onto the field, creating an inspiring example of how businesses can promote youth football development while fulfilling their social responsibilities.
From a glass of milk on store shelves to a cultural journey within the pavilion, Mengniu’s World Cup presence reflects the remarkable evolution of Chinese enterprises on the global stage. Looking ahead, Mengniu will continue to leverage the world’s premier sporting events to advance health, boost brand power, strengthen global presence, and fulfill social responsibilities, contributing the strength of China’s dairy industry to sharing China’s stories and showcasing the enduring appeal of Chinese civilization with the world.

The summer menu further celebrates seasonal ingredients such as bitter melon, night-blooming jasmine and winter gourd, alongside premium seafood including young mud crab, fresh abalone, wild grouper and razor clams. Through masterful Cantonese techniques ranging from slow-simmered soups and velvety broths to expertly executed wok-frying, Chef Xu reveals the purest expression of each ingredient.
Among the highlights, Stir-Fried Conch and Partridge with Night-Scented Flower combines the delicate floral fragrance of jasmine blossoms with conch, shrimp, partridge and fresh lily bulbs, finished with crunchy walnuts for added texture and a captivating wok hei. The classic Double-Boiled Winter Melon and Frog with Dried Scallop, inspired by the celebrated Tai Shi Banquet tradition, features tender frog leg and sweet winter melon in a crystal-clear broth simmered for four hours. Equally enticing is Braised Hairy Gourd with Crab Roe Paste, where the natural sweetness of the gourd is elevated by the rich umami of aromatic crab paste.
Meanwhile, the comforting Rice Noodle Soup with Geoduck and Wild Sole embodies the warmth of a traditional family banquet, while the Crab Meat and Duran Bitter Melon Soup, featured on both the lunch and seasonal menus, offers guests a refreshing expression of summer that is both heart-warming and refined.
