(“TCML”), Sole and Exclusive Distributor of Japanese carmaker Nissan in Laos P.D.R. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad (Malaysia), to continually create buzz in the market prior to launching the New Nissan NAVARA to the Laotian market.

Even with the new norm, the event still flows smoothly with VIP attendance, members of the media and specially invited guests. Speech of the night was heart-warming, launch gambit was exhilarating, and cheers and applause was loudly heard among the crowds as well as the online audiences who were anxiously and eagerly waiting for the unveiling moments.

Tan Chong Motor Lao will not forgo the ‘traditional’ way of product launch but has decided in future, and undeniably that Live streaming should be incorporate as a way forward. As this is the first for TCML, the great effort that was poured-in by each employee has contributed to the successful launch of the event.
