SUBANG JAYA: A team of broadcasting students won the ECOWorld recruitment video contest, winning them RM5000 and a chance to work with ECOWorld during the reproduction of the video for official use.
Treehouse Productions, which comprised of producer Norlyana Mohamad Termidzi, Japhia Wong Jie Ern, Low Aw Yian, Ethel Khoo Sie Xuan, Melissa Yeo Mei Yin, and Nik Sharmine Afina Shaharin, found their win to be quite a surprise.
“We did not expect to win at all,” Norlyana, 21, said.
Norlyana said the video represented themselves and Generation-Y in terms of being fun and quirky.
“They (ECOWorld) want Generation-Y recruits, so we did a video that was kind of fun for us and would also appeal to our generation,” Norlyana said.
She added that they (her team) will be striving to be better now that they have set such a high benchmark for themselves.
ECOWorld CEO Dato’ Chang Khim Wah said that it was a very hard decision because they wanted an out-of-the-box thinking video while still taking the corporate image into consideration.
“On 24 October, we saw 10 videos. Each video has its own creativity in different ways,” Chang said.
“During the final judging, one student mentioned, ‘You would also want to recruit intellectually competent people’, which was also very good advice.”
“With the level of enthusiasm and entrepreneurship shown by each and every team, I think all the students here will do well and life is more than just studying,” Chang said.
Chang said that, given this opportunity to do a project with an organisation like ECOWorld, students should really exploit it, think about the experience and hopefully get something out of it.
“Taylors University is a very exciting education organisation and ECOWorld is a growing development company, so it looks like the synergy is quite good and we will find other ways to collaborate and work together again,” Chang said.
