Watsons Malaysia Released Chinese New Year Video 2022

For a bit of fun basking in the spirit of the Chinese New Year celebration in this region, Malaysia’s nationwide health and beauty brand Watsons had already released its CNY video. Calling it the grandest and most-awaited video yet, the film featured an all-star cast including Han Xiiao Aii, Phei Yong, Amber Chia, Jinny Boy, Julie Chew, Ng Mee Ki Mei Fen Lim, Smashpop and Wilbur Ng.

Some of the casts have already been featured in promotional campaigns leading to the release of the video on 13 January. Watch the video, here.

Over the years, the Chinese New Year videos take on meaningful themes related to family and together. But this year, this Malaysian production takes on a new satire focusing on the true meaning of adding more ‘kungfu’ that would eventually produce a ‘wonderful’ result.

Last month, it opened its 600th store in Pavilion Bukit Jalil, an iconic lifestyle shopping destination in Petaling Jaya, said its primary business strategy moving forward is to integrate offline and online shopping for customers convenience.

“Currently, Watsons is available on seven online platforms. Sustainability is the most important part of our business strategy, we want to make Watsons a better place to shop and contribute to earth protection,” said Watsons Malaysia managing director Caryn Loh after launching its latest store.

Measuring 4,810 sq ft, Watsons’ 600th store in Pavilion Bukit Jalil is equipped with a wide range of exclusive products and services.

Throughout the years, Watsons Malaysia has been giving back to Malaysians via its various CSR initiatives that revolve around the theme of “Do Good, Feel Great”.

It has upped the ante on its CSR efforts at the height of the pandemic last Chinese New Year. And supplied more than 156,000 essential items, Vitamin C products, raincoats, bedsheets, food and more to over twenty hospitals, healthcare centres and charity homes across Malaysia.

Watsons Malaysia’s popularity with consumers is evidenced by its seventh consecutive win since 2014 at the annual Putra Brand Awards – an award that is in essence a people’s choice award. It was the platinum winner in the retail category of the awards in 2019 and won the gold in the same category at the Putra Brand Awards 2020.

At the regional scheme of events, last month A.S. Watson Group announced a partnership with Procter & Gamble to co-create a new Japan skincare brand called ‘aio’, before launching its Offline+Online AI-powered solutions for better customer experience. Earlier this month, WeChat awarded Watsons the Digital Transformation Pioneer Company award for its excellent O+O model. Even more recently, it partnered with one of the world’s largest eCommerce marketplace – Amazon Singapore – to launch a two-hour same-day delivery service.
