"You already have the asset, why not … "

One of our core beliefs at rsvp.agency :

Most businesses already have the resources they need to succeed on social media. This may come in the form of physical assets, digital assets, some special expertise that you may have in your team.

When squarefootproperty approached us, they were creating content without clear direction. After a thorough assessment, we discovered:
- They had a high-converting video asset already working for them
- The team had valuable industry knowledge but lacked a system to share it
- They needed a sustainable approach, not just a temporary boost

Our solution? A customized content calendar that helped them transform their existing knowledge into valuable content, with processes to scale using AI assistance where appropriate.

The result is a sustainable system that builds their authority without requiring constant external support.

What happens when you stop chasing every platform and start focusing on what works?

We helped our clients squarefootproperty to develop a comprehensive brand kit aligned with their unique selling proposition. Instead of pursuing lead generation (they already had a high-converting video with ad budget behind it), we focused on establishing thought leadership through sustainable content creation.

The key? A strategic content calendar designed for scalability, allowing them to leverage their existing expertise and AI tools to maintain consistent presence without overwhelming their resources.

Sometimes the best strategy isn't doing more—it's doing the right things consistently.

🎶 Unpacking Taylor Swift's Branding Blueprint: Lessons for Personal Branding

As the Swift storm settles, the influence of Taylor Swift spans generations, leaving a mark on social media feeds worldwide.

While I may not be a 'swiftie', witnessing firsthand the controversies surrounding her concerts in Singapore underscores the power of her brand and persona.

I went through some key brand elements she's mastered in this LinkedIn article, it should be a short read.🌟🌟🌟

The Swift storm has passed. Bombarded on social media by Taylor Swift fans spanning 2-3 generations, sharing their photos of wristbands and selfies with their OOTD updates in front of stadium seats, it's hard to escape the influence she's had.

I was preparing for a pitch to a boardroom of business leaders and feeling nervous?

But compared to what I went through many years back, I am so much more at ease now.

🚀 "Be Overprepared: A Presenter's Guide"

How many times have you found yourself in a presentation, only to be blindsided by equipment or internet issues?

To avoid such mishaps, I've adopted a strategy of being overprepared

Here's what I did :-
💻 Online Platforms: Leverage platforms like Microsoft SharePoint, Google Drive, or Canva to store your presentation. Always have multiple places to share your deck. I even send a copy to myself for easy forwarding in case of laptop failures.
📊 Prepare Your Laptop: Charge your laptop in advance, preload all media clips, and create both a PowerPoint and PDF version of your presentation. Going a step further, I save images in a separate folder, ensuring everything is as low-tech and universal as possible.I've found myself presenting from my phone in unexpected situations. Remember, the presentation deck is just a tool; your true power lies in your confidence and enjoyment of the subject.
🌟 Confidence and Enjoyment: Ultimately, it's your confidence and the joy you bring to your presentation that matters most.Don't leave anything to chance. Be overprepared, and you'll confidently tackle any presentation challenge that comes your way!
💪

Recently, I shared an image of a red cloud as my profile picture. Some might not know it, but some would recognize it as the symbol for the Akatsuki from the manga/anime Naruto universe.

This mysterious group of rogue shinobi has always fascinated me, they are portray as 'bad guys' but their structure is interesting!

The Akatsuki is a formidable group, each member a powerful ninja capable of leading their own operations. Yet, they choose to band together for a common goal. This idea was introduced to me by Anntonii Soon Ghee Lim, who drew a parallel to how he envisions running his agency.

He imagines working with a team where everyone is a leader in their own domain, self-motivated, and capable of tackling significant projects, even with just 3-4 people. In such a setup, each person is both a leader and a follower, contributing to the collective goal without ego or unnecessary stress. The focus is purely on achieving the end goal—success and earning money.

This approach resonated deeply with me! I think this is aligned with how I have always been comfortable representing other agencies without poaching their business, and thankfully, have the trust of the various owners to plug my services into their companies. For anyone working with me, I would also train them on making sure they follow this code.

I would remind them "Remember ah, we are not representing Red String today, so please forget Red String, we are now part of ABC Agency!"

A lot of times, this goes both ways, I have some clients who need things slightly out of my abilities, or things I do not want to focus on, and they are happy with representing Red String Virtual Playground too, or even when I was at Brandcore, and Takagi Agency before that.

I am thankful for the trust some of these partners have placed in me, some of them immediately giving me an email address under their agency's domain and plugging me into conversations with their clients. Similarly, thank you to all the partners from the industry who are comfortable enough to act in my humble agency's best interest, whichever clan I was representing at that point in time. You know who you are, or thankfully, you still remember fighting with me out on the field! :D
