Life's a beach! Our first company offsite since... ever. Great to get the team together outside the office at a place other than a restaurant. We've discovered that we have an in-house Beach Volleyball team AND an Ultimate Frisbee team. Fun Fact: Ultimate as a sport is eligible for the 2028 Olympics. LA, here we come!

Taking advantage of having another photographer around so we could get a group photo that wasn't a selfie 😃. Missing our colleagues from Myanmar but we hope to be hosting them soon. Look for some new headshots and updated bios on our About Us page in the coming weeks!

Podcast recording for a client in our office this morning. Our setup is very simple, a pair of Rode PodMics into a Zoom F8n, with post done in Adobe Audition. We've seen a jump in interest this year for both podcasts and vlogs, which is great. Good content is good content, and those recordings get repurposed as blogs and social posts.

Good morning ! View from our 25th-floor office as the sun comes over the horizon to highlight the edge of Chinatown through some modern office towers. Those turn-of-the-(last)century shophouses with the red tile roofs are now restaurants, bars, and the odd hedge fund. Amoy Steet just below us is home to a century-old mosque, a few temples, and a church built in the 1800s, reflecting the diversity of this island's settlers. That diversity is also reflected in the cuisine here.

Let's do lunch 😄.

A pair of RØDE Microphones PodMics front and centre for an upcoming session we'll be recording in the office. We run them through an old Sound Devices Mix Pre D when we are doing a video podcast, or a Zoom F8n when recording locally. They are low cost, dynamic mics that don't sound half bad, but this is from someone who used to mic an entire band with nothing but SM57s 😃.

Another day, another shoot. A recent two camera setup using a Sony FS5 and A7S3, with the Alpha on a Rhino Camera Gear motorised slider. Sennheiser MKH416 on sound. That is our go-to interview rig.

Dry run of an upcoming LinkedIn Live session for one of our clients. We use a tool called vMix for remote live video production for streaming. It is software, but it has many of the features we are used to from our broadcast days when everything was hardware.

We've had a lot of interest lately from clients and potential clients looking to up their content production game in 2022, and live video and podcasts are now a big part of that.

An office cleanup to kick off the new year revealed our long lost Pantone Colour Bridge Guide aka swatch book. I'm a video guy so for me "colour space" is making sure my monitor is set to Rec. 709 and not sRGB. These swatch books, in both coated and uncoated paper, are designed to show how Pantone colours might look when printed using CMYK on paper stock. We are a and agency but print is still a part of what our clients need.

☕ To all our fellow coffee lovers out there, Happy International Coffee Day!

For many of us (the Salween team included!), coffee is a magic potion that jumpstarts our morning and keeps us sane throughout the day.

But how often do we show gratitude to the heroes who go above and beyond to make that cup of java possible? In this piece we’ve written for De'Longhi's Coffee Lounge campaign, get to know who's who.

Go on a journey to appreciate unsung heroes of the coffee world that work hard to make sure we get the beans and brew just the way we want them.

Live from Singapore! HotelPlanner.com CEO Tim Hentschel talking to CNBC 's "Squawk Box" team during a live cross from our office yesterday. It was a Zoom call, but we take it up a notch by using our broadcast kit as the "we**am". Camera is a Sony FS5, Sennie '416 on sound, and a pair of 1x1 Litepanels fighting the sun.

Every now and then we do our own marketing too 😀 Here is our Director of Operations David McKaige talking to Singapore's Money FM 89.3 in an unscripted interview on content marketing.

Despite the fact that businesses are recognising the value of content marketing, only a handful succeed when it boils down to implementation. David Mckaige, Director of Operations, Salween Group, shares why many content marketing strategies fail and the steps businesses can take to succeed.

We recently added a portable teleprompter to our offer, a useful tool for the media-trained c-suite execs we work with. A bit of research led us to the Pad Prompter, a well-designed piece of kit that mounts to a standard 15mm rail system. We loaded PromptSmart Pro in a tablet and worked flawlessly.
