Richard Tsang, Chairman of SPRG said, “Talent has always been our most important asset since our establishment in 1995. As a result, we have chosen to act in defiance of the poor market conditions, never considering cutting our talent investment. As was announced in early February, following discussion with all the regional heads, we made the decision that no layoffs or salary cuts would result from COVID-19. This is because we are determined to be a responsible employer and will therefore try our very best to protect everyone’s job, particularly during the most trying and unpredictable time in decades.”
The Group’s success is well earned, as evidenced by 29 awards won last year. SPRG is particularly proud to have received the Public Relations Agency of the Year Gold award in Asia, Australia and New Zealand at the 17th Annual International Business Awards for the seventh consecutive year. In addition to the financial campaign category in which SPRG is a regular winner, the Group’s most awarded marketing case of late, Colour of Europe, has amassed a total of six awards in 2020. Moreover, SPRG devised a successful promotion strategy for Enabling Festival 2019, which also earned three prestigious accolades in the region. These campaigns perfectly illustrate the forward-thinking and adaptable nature of SPRG’s communication strategy under the digital era.
At the forefront of the Group’s expansion of professional practices is the launch of SPRG’s new joint-venture company – Montieth SPRG, located in Hong Kong. The new joint venture will serve the financial and professional services, fintech and renewable energy sectors, amongst others. Montieth SPRG will benefit greatly from the co-owner, Montieth & Company, and its broad base of U.S., Canadian and European clients that are eager to enter or expand their market share in the Asia-Pacific market, as well as the local networks and resources which SPRG can provide.
SPRG has been giving back to society via its own NGO over the past five years, in addition to the pro bono services it provides to local communities and various industries and associations. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the Group has fully utilised its connections and resources to contribute to the battle against the virus, having raised nearly US$80,000 worth of in-kind donations. This included giving away masks, sanitisers, food and necessities to over 7,950 people in need.
