A Helping Hand For Millennial Parents – Kao Extends The “Welcome To My Modern Parenthood” Campaign For Another Exciting Year

PETALING JAYA, 4 April – KAO Malaysia officially announced the launch of this year’s anticipated “Welcome to My Modern Parenthood” campaign at 1 Utama Shopping Centre. Initiated in 2016, the first parenting campaign in Malaysia is back to emphasize the importance of family quality time by providing busy parents fun, yet quick and easy solutions to making their daily routine more manageable.

KAO Malaysia doubled its efforts this year by targeting millennial parents aged 25 to 35 years old. “As solution providers, KAO Malaysia is always dedicated in enriching the lives of people. Using our previous campaigns as a reference, we’ve set a new milestone by taking a more digital and innovative approach which suits the current, fast-paced lifestyle of millennial parents” said Fujiwara Masaki, President of KAO Malaysia.

“Technology plays a huge role in their everyday lives and millennials are constantly connected and on-the-go. We’ve decided to take on the challenge by reworking some of our previous initiatives to be made easily accessible at any time within their reach” he added.

Revolving around this year’s theme, “Value Your Time, Value Your Happiness”, KAO Malaysia has revamped the campaign microsite, including a free to download digital version of it’s renowned parenting guidebook, “The Secret to My Modern Parenthood”. Co-created with KAO Japan Lifestyle Research Centre and Positive Parenting, the Official Parenting Educational Arm of the Malaysian Paediatric Association, the guidebook provides easy to follow suggestions and tricks for manageable baby care and hassle-free housework solutions. 39,000 guidebooks have been distributed to NGOs, hospitals to various childcare partners.

The initiative led to the induction of the guidebook into The Malaysia Book of Records for “Most Number of Parenting Guidebook Distribution”, as well as its accolade, “Japan Home Care Expert”. “We are more than proud to receive such a prestigious recognition and we hope to double last year’s numbers especially with the guidebook now accessible online,” said Tan Poh Ling, Marketing Vice President of KAO Malaysia.

Further into KAO Malaysia’s effort in providing timesaving and hassle-free solutions, selected chapters of the guidebook were also converted into five chapters of video content. Topics highlighted by the videos include the importance of open communication and bonding time, the various roles a father can play in creating a happy parenthood, tips & tricks for diaper changing and getting a baby ready for bed, the teamwork of doing laundry together and efficient solutions to housework and baby care.

“The launch of this year’s efforts was derived from understanding the wants and needs of millennial parents. This is our fourth year conducting the campaign and our insights have inspired us to better improve our initiatives. We hope both our products and the “Welcome to My Modern Parenthood” campaign instilled the brand’s essence in providing timesaving solutions to making parenting and family chores a breeze,” said Tan Poh Ling.
