KUALA LUMPUR: bzBee Consult Sdn Bhd ( bzBee) has extended its services to become a fully- integrated marketing and communications outfit to include events management, branding, online and social media services, creative work and advertising.

In a statement here yesterday, bzBee said, it would also expand into other ventures with the establ ishment of Bat ique, Baybees and Todds, MyVelotas as well as Balairong initiative to push forward Malay heritage.

“bzBee also provides training and advisory services to other Bumiputera start-ups as well as to university and college students, both as a form of corporate responsibility.

“Our expansion averages 18 per cent annual growth in revenue. Many of our successes can be very much attributed to the High-Performing Bumiputera Programme ( TERAS) led by Bumiputera Agenda Steering Unit ( Teraju),” it it said.

bzBee managing director, Said Bani CM Din, said the company was elected as a TERAS company in 2012 which provided the platform and opportunity for bzBee to excel.

“The ecosystem of support and advice from Teraju were crucial in elevating bzBee’s potentials”, he said.

Meanwhi le, Teraju chief executive officer, Datuk Husni Salleh, said TERAS’ programme aimed to increase Bumiputera small and medium enterprises’ participation in the Malaysian economy by enabling them to scale up, accelerate their growth and compete in the open market based on merit.

“The ultimate goal is for the companies supported by this programme to contribute positively to the country’s gross domestic product and strengthen Bumiputera participation in the economy.

“We are delighted to see a shining success story in bzBee Consult which had benefited from the programme as evident from the company’s steady progresses and growth over the years,” he said.

Teraju has recorded RM124.6 billion in value creation for Bumiputeras, generated over 44,000 jobs, assisted with RM14.44 billion in private investments through its facilitation fund and registered RM10.1 billion in market capitalisation from listing emerging Bumiputera companies on Bursa Malaysia. — Bernama
